Isi artikel

Current educational programs to prepare young persons for adult employment reflect the perspective -- usually unarticulated -- of nineteenth - century economic theorists who depicted work as a contractual and instrumental exchange between rational calculators vying in a competitive labor market to maximize individual utilities. That cognitive model neglects the wider social significance and important meanings that "occupation" has in the lives of people who work. A more comprehensive statement of the nonmonetarized values that characterize work is presented here, along with a proposal that schools should encourage students to appreciate the many ways their work will benefit from, yet depend on, its connection with a shared human community. Some methods by which this reorientation may be initiated are briefly discussed.
