Impact of Ethical Training: A Reflexive Contribution from Educational Ethnography

Abstract

Due to the national and international impact of the training of civic and ethically competent professionals and citizens, I describe the teaching, learning and evaluation strategies applied during more than 9 years of educational work. Methodological strategies, which have allowed to have results of quality, excellence and effectiveness both in the evolution and development of the students, as well as for the academic and administrative academic management developed by the the High Quality University Institution, in Bogotá D.C. I share the present reflection with the purpose of explaining that values, virtues, principles, attitudes and human behaviors can be taught, learned and modeled with exigency and transcendence even in the university setting, having found in educational ethnography a tool that gives value and Meaning to everything that happens before, during and after the classroom encounters. As a result and relevant conclusion, the same students express that for the 93.47% of those who studied the subject of ethics, the subject matter, didactics and strategies of evaluation and participation, had a positive effect on their attitude and performance as citizens and professionals , beyond the classroom and the grades obtained.
