这篇文章的主题很可能是米哈伊尔·巴枯宁的挑战：“人类总是通过寻找不可能来认识和实现可能;那些'明智地'将自己限制在似乎可能的事情上的人永远不会进步。“在这种情况下，显然不可能完成的任务是设计一种解放而不仅仅是复制当今社会的教育。复制是可能的，因为教师对人及其学习有直接影响。与此同时，正如奥尔特加·加塞特所说，教师就是他们自己和他们的环境：解放需要使教师能够改变这些环境，并帮助其他人改变他们的环境。教师发展是改变教师的一种手段，在墨西哥经历了一种时尚，在时间和规模上与美国相似。在这两种情况下，都倾向于将变革的努力限制在教师角色的狭窄维度上，即与教学技术相关的角色。结果令人沮丧。教学质量可能有所提高，但大学及其所在的社会基本上保持不变。为了真正改变他们的处境，教师必须更多地参与围绕教学过程的社会和政治环境，这将需要一种不同的教师发展计划。这篇文章是一个程序，可以使教师以解放的方式修改他们的情况下搜索。我们将开始审查墨西哥高等教育和大学教学的情况。我们首先描述问题和前景
The theme for this article might well be the challenge of Mikhail Bakunin: "Man has always recognized and achieved the possible by searching for the impossible; those who 'wisely' limit themselves to what seems possible never advance at all." In this case the apparently impossible task is the design of an education that liberates, instead of merely reproducing, the present society. Reproduction is possible because teachers have direct impacts on people and their learning. At the same time, as Ortega y Gasset would say, teachers are themselves and their circumstances: liberation requires enabling teachers to change those circumstances and to help others change theirs. Faculty development, one means of changing teachers, has experienced a vogue in Mexico paralleling in time and magnitude that in the United States. In both cases the tendency has been to limit efforts for change to a narrow dimension of the teacher's role-one related to the technology of instruction. The results are discouraging. Instructional quality may have been improved, but universities and the societies in which they are situated have remained essentially the same. To really change their circumstances, teachers have to be more involved in the social and political environment that surrounds the teaching process, and that will require a different kind of faculty development program. This article is a search for a program that can enable teachers to modify their circumstances in liberating ways. We will begin by reviewing the situation of higher education and university teaching in Mexico. We first describe problems and prospects
