La docencia en el lugar equivocado

In the third millennium Accounting Education in Colombia and maybe in Latin America and why not in the rest of the world, faces a world different to the one in which it was born. At the beginning, and with the purpose of satisfying a need for information and control there appeared the scribes, owners of an operative “ knowledge “ with the ability of writing without interpreting. The formalization of School and higher education institutions aimed at satisfying the demand of the market in its mercantile, industrial and capitalist stages. During those times Accounting Education decanted and used a pedagogic proposal able to satisfy its demands. From there on we have the traditional or industrial pedagogy, which since the fi nal of last century has shown its obsolescence and inability to meet the demands of the society of the information. In the obsolescence of the traditional pedagogic model underlies one of the fundamental causes of the crisis in the Accounting Education denounced in Colombia since the 80’s in the last century that hibernated until the State decides to intervene to evaluate the quality of the education through its “ products “, the students.
