SELLES, Juan Fernando. Education to Correct an Attitude among University Students and Teachers: Fideism. educ.educ. [online]. 2009, vol.12, n.3, pp.119-129. ISSN 0123-1294.

The article exposes an educational attitude that stubbornly accepts "fideism": an attitude found among many university teachers and students who want to be and regard themselves as "good" men and women. The nature of this error is described, along with some of its more common manifestations in the university environment. Fideism is cited as being neither a natural human attitude, nor a Christian attitude. It is contrary to both natural reasoning and the doctrine of the faith. The article ends with several guidelines on how to deal with this educational disorientation.

Keywords : university teaching; ethics of education; teaching process; training in ethics; fideism.
