Abstract
Si se acepta que la función de la universidad es preparar a los graduados para que se integren y se conviertan en miembros de una sociedad cooperativa, entonces la forma en que los estudiantes se preparen para participar en un medio comunitario dictará, en gran 16 medida, el tipo de sociedad en la que finalmente nos encontremos . Es muy necesario entender la universidad como un microcosmos de la comunidad más grande y el impacto que una universidad puede tener en el progreso y la potenciación ética de la sociedad más amplia. En el presente artículo se expone la experiencia de Universidad de Sudáfrica (Unisa), que aprobó una estrategia que incluía la incorporación de una cultura ética compartida en la universidad y la de STADIO Holdings, una empresa de inversiones involucrada en la enseñanza superior privada en Sudáfrica, cuyo enfoque esta centrado en los estudiantes y en la que se da prioridad a la importancia de integrar la responsabilidad ética y la conciencia social en el plan de estudios de enseñanza y aprendizaje.
If it is accepted that the function of the university is to prepare graduates to integrate and become members of a co-operative society, then how students are geared to participate in a communal milieu will, to a large extent, dictate the type of society in which we eventually find ourselves. It is so necessary to understand the university as a microcosm of the bigger community and the impact that a university can have on the progress and ethical empowerment of the broader society. This article presents the experience of the University of South Africa (Unisa), which has approved a strategy that included embedding a shared ethical culture in the university; and the experience of STADIO Holdings, an investment company involved in private higher education in South Africa, which is focused in the students and prioritizes the importance of integrating ethical responsibility and social consciousness into teaching and learning curriculum.
