Book synopsis

The book highlights that the aim of liberal arts education should not be to teach an array of humanities courses, but to bring liberal learning to students by encompassing both arts and sciences and including practical and professional areas. It addresses the questions:What changes have been observed in the core values, concepts, and models of liberal learning across different contexts and in different institutional settings?How can we relate those values, concepts, and models to liberal (and broader) learning?Have we observed tensions between the existing models of higher education and liberal arts & sciences education?What difficulties/challenges have liberal arts colleges and programs in each region faced and how have those issues been addressed?How are various types of institutions in different parts of the world addressing the challenge of preparing their students for an unpredictable, uncertain, and inter- and cross-cultural future?What are some emerging and successful models of liberal learning, linking learning to a vocational and professional education?The book includes theoretical and conceptual discussions, case studies and lessons learned from different regions, research implications, and practical and policy advice to help practitioners/educators and policy leaders to review, rethink, and improve values, goals, and practices of their liberal arts and sciences education.
