Tóm tắt

Education in Australia is a concern of the state. Tertiary education is based on philosophies of utility and political expediency. This is particularly true of technical andfurther education. To include a liberal education in technical andfurther education one can not argue for it, perse. A course must beshown to be materially usefuland to have a place in economic productivity. This paper makes a utilitarian argument by showing the necessityfor people to understand their industrial and economic world if they are to lead productive lives. Vocational education needs to include an understanding of what is common to all aspects ofan industrial society. The humanities have a vital role to play, as only the humanities offer experience by means ofanalogies, metaphors, models, paradigms, ideologies and myths. By understanding these individuals can make well-informed choices andso map out career and life pathsfor themselves. In this way they will not become passive victims of rapid technological change, by relying on outmoded traditions, but can help create their own productive world. © 1988, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
