What is going on (with us) at university?

Abstract

This text is an introduction to the monograph entitled “What is going on (with us) at university? In it we explain the motivations and the process that lead us to write the articles that we present here. We could classify in three groups the topics that we discuss. In the first place, we ask ourselves about the nature and function that the university has had during its eight centuries of existence. In the second place, we concentrate on the analysis of certain forms of evaluation of teachers and students, its presuppositions and effects. Finally, we ask ourselves about the transformations, and the possible resistances and inventions that can take place when teaching.
