This paper addresses Dewey's complex notion of vocation-- |
|
particularly his idea of multiple vocational activities-- |
|
and relates it to educating for vocation in colleges and |
|
universities. The author argues that higher educators can |
|
best respect a student's autonomy as a chooser--with |
|
multiple potential vocations--by giving him or her |
|
multiple "selections of reality" to reflect upon. In this |
|
paper, the author evokes some common sense understandings |
|
of vocation as an interlude to Dewey's discussion of |
|
multiple vocational activities in "Democracy and |
|
Education." The paper discusses the "problem of adult |
|
learning" and the difficulty it poses for introducing a |
|
wider view of vocation to undergraduates as emerging |
|
adults, and considers strategies for introducing Dewey's |
|
concept of multiple vocational activities into the |
|
university curriculum. |
