Due to the above, this paper presents a reflective analysis of the importance of higher education in the current global context, and the contributions of ethics in the formative processes of the individual.

Educational axiology is not only a set of inherent and explicit rules with respect to education; it constitutes its very core. What is valuable lies in the essence of the educational act, transcending all formal limits. When we speak of "quality criteria" or standards for teaching, axiology becomes an element that is essential to ensure comprehensive education. In this article, the authors look at the make-up of one's personal axiological structure, based on a descriptive analysis of the Portrait Values Questionnaire (PVQ) by Shalom Schwartz. A sample of 337 participants, including practicing teachers and those in training, was used to approximate the values that predominate in the composition of a teacher's identity with respect to values. The authors maintain that the different axiological profiles charted by the PVQ are manifest in each classroom and lend true meaning to the study of values in the field of education. According to the authors, the data obtained in the study shows high levels of reliability and internal consistency in the values analyzed with the Schwartz PVQ. In general, they were able to verify that practicing teachers and those in training are consistent when it comes to self-transcendence, since the values they possess are oriented more towards benevolence and universalism, which are typical of an altruistic or collectivist profile.

Like other educational activities subject to academic routines, tutoring function is also carried out with automatisms that are gradually becoming obsolete. The active participation of teachers who conduct researches aimed to identify these unreflective habits helps us to overcome them and design proposals for teacher training that improve the teacher-tutor profile. Tutoring at University requires an adjustment of the teaching competencies suggested in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) to the needs of students who attends the new Degrees, B.A, M.A and Ph.D. In order to infer the meaning of the tutorial function in Higher Education and identify new teaching skills, it is necessary to research the tutorial action in the different formal educational levels (Primary, Secondary and Baccalaureate), non-formal education (training programs) and distance learning (open university). It is also analysed how tutoring is performed while describing how it is perceived by the teachers who carried it out. This process of analysis, description and interpretation is put into practice in more detail at university, through direct interviews and questionnaires among teachers and students. The results obtained make us propose strategies to make the present tutorial framework more flexible to introduce new guidelines and scenarios for teacher-student interaction and intercommunication.

The development of the students teaching-learning process in higher education requires a harmonic conception that will allow students to give answers to the demands that society poses on university graduates. That is to conform an integral human being, capable of carrying out different functions and tasks competitively in all the spheres of life. Didactics, the science whose object of study is the teaching-learning process, is characterized by a system of concepts, categories and laws which, combined, give direction and emphasize its development in order to achieve independent and creative professionals, fully committed to their social roles. With the objective of revealing these aspects, an analysis of the educational teaching process at university level is carried out following a holistic approach in the treatment of the fundamental didactic categories.
