This book addresses a critically important question regarding human
capital learning in our present neo-liberal schooling context: How
can contemporary career education programs be integrated into
public school curricula without impacting negatively on the liberal
learning, intellectual autonomy, and democratic citizenship of
students? To alleviate the enduring curriculum tension between
liberal and vocational study, the book recommends adopting
Aristotelian and Deweyan approaches to career education. While
Aristotle offers a philosophy of education whose ultimate aim
remains sensitive to the critical emphasis of liberal study, its
content and practice must also address production objectives. Dewey
was an ardent supporter of vocational education, but he rejected
the social efficiency view that students should be prepared to meet
the narrow human capital requirements of industry. He believed that
vocational education must respect principles of democratic learning
and broaden future occupational opportunities for students.
Ultimately, this book suggests that the choice is not the
traditional bifurcated one between liberal and vocational
education, but between vocational education that is liberal and
democratic, and that which is not.
