在过去的一个世纪或更长的时间里，关于教育的目的展开了一场长期的辩论。教育的主要目的是提供对个人的普遍熏陶，还是必须有一个与一个人在劳动力中的预期角色相关的实用应用？公共教育对这些目标的关注随着时间的推移而演变，往往与不断变化的经济需求有关。作者用宽广的历史视角审视最近的发展，结合突出的历史辩论和社会力量，试图更好地理解教育和为劳动力做好准备之间的关系是如何随着时间的推移而变化的。他们专注于过去100年来这一领域联邦创新的激增，并考虑哲学和政策辩论中持续存在的主题。他们用对职业和技术教育文献进行更有针对性的调查的结果来补充这一广泛的历史和背景，并用过去50年来产生学术研究的搜索词。从这部较新的文学作品中汲取主题，并结合历史焦点，作者对未来的学术方向提出了建议。
A long-standing debate has been waged over the past century or more about the purpose of education. Is the primary purpose to provide for the general edification of the individual, or must education have a pragmatic application that relates to one’s intended role in the workforce? Public education’s focus on these ends has evolved over time, often in relation to changing economic demands. Using a broad historical lens to examine recent developments, incorporating salient historical debates and social forces, the authors attempt to better understand how the relationship between education and preparation for the workforce has changed over time. They focus on the proliferation of federal innovations in this area over the past 100 years and consider persistent themes in philosophical and policy debates. They supplement this broad history and context with the results of a more focused survey of the literature in career and technical education, with search terms that yielded scholarship from the past 50 years. Drawing themes from this more recent literature, and in light of historical foci, the authors make recommendations for future directions of scholarship.
