PRECIADO-CORTES, Florentina. Establishing and Re-establishing an Academic Culture in a Mexican University. Rev. colomb. educ. [online]. 2021, n.81, pp.171-193.  Epub 03-Abr-2022. ISSN 0120-3916.  https://doi.org/10.17227/rce.num81-10393.

This research article analyzes the emergence and development of an academic culture in a Mexican university. In line with the topic, the authors carried out a qualitative case study. They interviewed academics about their professional careers to reconstruct the institutional history and, therefore, the academic culture. The analysis shows how the faculty members establish their academic processes and practices until they take ownership of them, and they become natural in the university space However, international politics bursts into that academic culture to re-establish it, displace the academic ethos and impose the standardization of university organization processes and practices. Certainly, the approach from oral history allows recovering the collective memory of teachers to supply documentary evidence of the origin of the practices and academic processes that make-up the private environment of universities and have given life to institutionalization.

Palavras-chave : school culture; teachers; higher education; educational policy; oral history.
