Tóm tắt

Student interest in careerrelated education is moving the college curriculum toward the pragmatic and causing widespread debate concerning the merits of practical/vocational arts versus general/liberal arts education. While the debate is not new, it is taking some new twists, including increased discussion of why education need be divided into two separate tracks. As distinctions between vocationally and academically trained persons are becoming blurred, alternatives are sought to the practical arts versus liberal arts approach to education. As students become more sophisticated and demanding as consumers of educational offerings, collaboration among various types of institutions and the integration of disciplines and training programs within institutions are becoming new and serious efforts toward restoring the centrality of the student in curriculum design. The thrust is toward greater flexibility, allowing liberal arts students new options to develop vocational skills and interests, and providing vocational students the chance to follow a broader variety of academic and liberal arts pursuits. If the educational enterprise can be effectively integrated to produce educable people-people who love learning and who can and will learn to explore more fully life's options and opportunities in both the vocational and liberal arts-the hope is that they will be better prepared to make a living and a meaningful life in a world of rapid change. © 1979, Sage Publications.
