Areté, Academic Ethos, ICT's and Pandemic in Mexico

Abstract

This research aims to explain the art of teaching by alluding to some philosophical and pedagogical conceptions in the exercise and training of students. It aims to relate two Greek terms Areté, Ethos and their relationship with the art of teaching. And how the lack of both directly affects the teaching-learning process. It shows the effect that our resistance to change can have on students, having an egocentric attitude of not seeing the need to train ourselves in the knowledge and appropriation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). It is intended to demonstrate how the art of teaching is closely related to vocation, passion, creation, flexibility, commitment, appropriation of methods, instruments or tools that help students to think, reflect, propose, enjoy, generate, interpret and understand their reality. The deductive method is used, starting with a brief national background and is grounded in a case study in the Faculty of Political and Social Sciences of the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Official data and various digital resources are used.
