Working Knowledge: Australian Universities and "Real World" Education.
Overview & Synopsis
Argues that the current move at Australian universities toward instrumental programs of work-based learning threatens the existence of the liberal university, where knowledge is pursued predominantly for its own sake. Four dominant discourses--the liberal, the utilitarian, the reformist, and the liberal-vocational models--are identified as forces shaping the mission of higher education. (KS)
