| Zusammenfassung: | Demonstrates how students and educators can resist narrow, utilitarian views of higher education's purpose. While the search for meaning and purpose appears to be a constant throughout human history, there are characteristics about our current time period that make this search different from any other previous time, particularly for college students. In this book, Perry L. Glanzer, Jonathan P. Hill, and Byron R. Johnson explore college students' search for meaning and purpose and the role that higher education plays. To shed empirical light on this complex issue, the authors draw on in-depth interviews with four hundred college students from different types of institutions across the United States. They also analyze three sets of national survey data: the National Study of Youth and Religion, College Students Beliefs and Values, and their own Gallup-conducted survey of 2,500 college students. Their research identifies important social, educational, and cultural influences that shape students' quests and the answers they find. Arguing against a utilitarian view of education, Glanzer, Hill, and Johnson conclude that colleges and universities can and should cultivate and aid students in their journeys, and they offer suggestions for doing so. |

While the search for meaning and purpose appears to be a constant throughout human history, there are characteristics about our current time period that make this search different from any other previous time, particularly for college students. In this book, Perry L. Glanzer, Jonathan P. Hill, and Byron R. Johnson explore college students' search for meaning and purpose and the role that higher education plays. To shed empirical light on this complex issue, the authors draw on in-depth interviews with four hundred college students from different types of institutions across the United States. They also analyze three sets of national survey data: the National Study of Youth and Religion, College Students Beliefs and Values, and their own Gallup-conducted survey of 2,500 college students. Their research identifies important social, educational, and cultural influences that shape students' quests and the answers they find. Arguing against a utilitarian view of education, Glanzer, Hill, and Johnson conclude that colleges and universities can and should cultivate and aid students in their journeys, and they offer suggestions for doing so.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">College students</subfield><subfield code="x">Conduct of life.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85028359</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">College students</subfield><subfield code="x">Religious life</subfield><subfield code="z">United States.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">College students</subfield><subfield code="z">United States</subfield><subfield code="x">Interviews.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Self-actualization (Psychology)</subfield><subfield code="x">Religious aspects.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh89000424</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Education, Higher</subfield><subfield code="x">Moral and ethical aspects.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Christian universities and colleges</subfield><subfield code="z">United States.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Christian education</subfield><subfield code="z">United States.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Students</subfield><subfield code="x">Conduct of life.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85129299</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Étudiants</subfield><subfield code="x">Morale pratique.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Étudiants</subfield><subfield code="x">Vie religieuse</subfield><subfield code="z">États-Unis.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Enseignement supérieur</subfield><subfield code="x">Aspect moral.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Universités confessionnelles</subfield><subfield code="z">États-Unis.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">EDUCATION</subfield><subfield code="x">Higher.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Students</subfield><subfield code="x">Conduct of life</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Christian education</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Christian universities and colleges</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">College students</subfield><subfield code="x">Conduct of life</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">College students</subfield><subfield code="x">Religious life</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Education, Higher</subfield><subfield code="x">Moral and ethical aspects</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Self-actualization (Psychology)</subfield><subfield code="x">Religious aspects</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">United States</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Johnson, Byron R.,</subfield><subfield code="e">author.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Hill, Johnathan P.,</subfield><subfield code="d">1980-</subfield><subfield code="e">author.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2017042893</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">The quest for purpose (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCFxc6MtgPRkmhTq9vGt9pd</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Glanzer, Perry L.

A Liberal Arts Education in Meaning and Purpose Demonstrates how students and educators can resist narrow, utilitarian views of higher education's purpose. While the search for meaning and purpose appears to be a constant throughout human history, there are characteristics about our current time period that make this search different from any other previous time, particularly for college students. In this book, Perry L. Glanzer, Jonathan P. Hill, and Byron R. Johnson explore college students' search for meaning and purpose and the role that higher education plays. To shed empirical light on this complex issue, the authors draw on in-depth interviews with four hundred college students from different types of institutions across the United States. They also analyze three sets of national survey data: the National Study of Youth and Religion, College Students Beliefs and Values, and their own Gallup-conducted survey of 2,500 college students. Their research identifies important social, educational, and cultural influences that shape students' quests and the answers they find. Arguing against a utilitarian view of education, Glanzer, Hill, and Johnson conclude that colleges and universities can and should cultivate and aid students in their journeys, and they offer suggestions for doing so.
