English to Spanish: Aims and Values in a University General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Education / Pedagogy
Source text - English Aims and Values in a University
The previous section argued that certain practices are distorting universities’ research and teaching priorities; however, this assumes that we have some conception of what those priorities ought to be. Some people have thought that the very nature of a university em bodies a set of central scholarly goals, the continued achievement of which constitutes the university’s supreme good. However, it would be a mistake to saddle ourselves with such views here. Let us think specifically of some of Australia’s long-established institutions, and concentrate on these questions: What ais and values should these universities pursue? What aims and values for these universities should governments approve, protect and nourish?
There are many of them. No doubt universities should seek to train professional people needed in the working of the economy. No doubt they should seek to work in partnership with industry to devise new products and services which Australians can sell overseas. But these goals are not at the heart of what universities should be doing. As in any large enterprise, soe aims and values have a central role, supporting and giving coherence to the others. Three of these spring to mind. First, universities should provide a liberal education for their students. Second, they ought to engage in research aimed at increasing our depth of understanding of the world, including human beings and human activity: we seek not merely an accumulation of items of information, but theoretical insight. Third, they should contribute to their society’s critical self-evaluation.
Translation - Spanish Objetivos y valores en una universidad
En el segmento anterior se argumentaba que ciertas prácticas distorsionaban las prioridades de investigación y enseñanza de las universidades. Sin embargo, esto da por sentado que tenemos alguna idea en cuanto a lo que deberían ser tales prioridades. Hay quienes creen que la verdadera índole de una universidad comprende una serie de metas primordialmente académicas, cuyo logro continuo constituye el bien supremo de la universidad. Aun así, sería un error cerrar filas con tales creencias. Más bien, remitámonos específicamente a algunas de las instituciones más sólidamente establecidas en Australia y enfoquémonos en estas interrogantes: ¿Cuáles son los objetivos y valores que deberían perseguir estas universidades? ¿Cuáles son los objetivos y valores que los gobiernos deberían aprobar, proteger y sustentar para tales universidades?
Son muchos. No cabe duda de que las universidades deberían esforzarse en capacitar profesionales valiosos para el funcionamiento de la economía. Es irrefutable de que deberían tratar de trabajar conjuntamente con la industria a fin de concebir productos y servicios innovadores que los australianos puedan vender en el extranjero. Pero tales metas no son la esencia de lo que las universidades deberían llevar a cabo. Como en cualquier empresa de envergadura, ciertos objetivos y valores juegan un papel principal apoyando y dando coherencia al resto. Tres de ellos acuden a la mente. En primer lugar, las universidades deberían proporcionar una educación liberal a sus alumnos. En segundo lugar, tienen la obligación de involucrarse en la investigación que tenga como objetivo profundizar nuestra comprensión del mundo, incluyendo al hombre y a la actividad humana: no estamos en la mera búsqueda de una acumulación de conjuntos de información, sino de un conocimiento teórico. En tercer lugar, las universidades deberían contribuir a la autoevaluación crítica de su sociedad.
