Tóm tắt

Those of us who work in universities are awash in a sea of voices lamenting the end of academic standards, disciplinary rigour and the general bankruptcy of the enterprise in which we are engaged. Central to this sense of despair and decline is the lament that the liberal arts have lost their pride of place as the centre or focal point of the university as a distinctive institutional form. In the same vein, a liberal education is no longer, apparently, the central mandate of institutions which are caught up in pursuing excellence in research, increased efficiency through the application of learning technologies and management practices aimed at heightened accountability. Lifelong learning, especially, though not only in its vocationalist forms, can be understood as yet another symptom of this crisis. © John Holford, Peter Jarvis, Colin Griffin and named contributors, 1998.
