| Abstract | Many education experts who seek to define the value of a college degree seize on metrics that can be quantified in the short term. Some look at levels of student engagement, while others calculate gains on standardized tests of critical-thinking skills. Still others have started analyzing the salaries that recent graduates earn. A different sort of approach takes a longer--and less measurable--view. In this approach, the real value of a college education is how it affects the way students think and act, ideally for years after they graduate. Shape the students' underlying attitudes and intellectual characteristics, the theory goes, and a lifetime of deep and lasting learning will follow. These characteristics go by different names, like intellectual virtues or habits of mind. And they originate in several disciplines, including education, philosophy, and psychology. They all boil down to an emphasis on underlying traits: curiosity, open-mindedness, and intellectual courage, thoroughness, and humility. Some faculty argue that in the growing emphasis on job-related skills, the cultivation of important intellectual traits is getting short shrift. (ERIC). |
