The Mission of Universities and the Vocational Paradigm: An Investigation of Students' Perceptions.
Menon, Maria Eliophotou
Journal of Vocational Education & Training, v54 n4 p515-32 2002
A survey of 135 education majors at the University of Cyprus found they tend to reject a purely instrumental or vocational approach to higher education, believe the university and the education department have a vocational orientation, and generally are satisfied with their professional preparation. A need to reaffirm the humanistic mission of higher education was suggested. (Contains 46 references.) (SK)
