The commodification of university education and its repercussions on scientific research Evaluation study

Abstract

The study aims to: clarify the usefulness of commodifying education and explain its repercussions on the quality of scientific research. It is known that benefit is the goal of goodness and morality. Scientific honesty or its lack thereof is not the goal. Rather, the goal is the results that result from it, which in the end are a tangible material benefit

The benefit may be a worldly or material interest, and it may combine the two matters with a balanced methodology that takes into account the public interest and the private interest.

One of the repercussions of utilitarianism on scientific research is the weakening of the researcher’s creativity and his isolation from his social context while looking at the problems he addresses in scientific research, and one of the repercussions of the idea of ​​commodification on scientific research is that the human being turns into a “thing” and his view of science does not go beyond the material surface and the world of things, and that Because it follows specific, simple models, as if it were dealing with the material itself.
