Abstract The work of numerous authors discussing the integration of Christian faith and practice in higher education has been presented in the scholarly conversation to date. Simultaneously, literature abounds regarding the Association of College and Research Libraries’ (ACRL) Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, its application by academic librarians and teaching faculty in the classroom, and how this framework is being utilized by scholars espousing critical information theories to analyze information. This article proposes an intersectional approach to these distinct scholarly discussions and attempts to answer the question: How can Christian educators equip students to navigate the information ecosystem of a fallen world with a Christ-centered perspective? Reasons for undertaking this work are evidenced by the three commitments articulated by the Council for Christian College & Universities (CCCU) to which the organization’s 185+ member institutions adhere; additionally, the ways in which educators can achieve this goal are founded in the guiding document on higher education information literacy concepts, the ACRL Framework.

Howard Gardner, well known for his theory of multiple intelligences, teamed up with Wendy Fischman, a project director at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, to conduct “an empirical study of undergraduate higher education in the United States, covering a range of campuses; to collect and distill what the diverse stakeholders on each of these campuses think about the value of nonvocational education” (p. 18). Overall, this book provides an insightful and well-written account of an extensive study. It is readable, provides ample data and analysis, and gives suggestions for change. It pushes the reader to think critically about not only the goals of the American higher education system, but also how each of the stakeholders within it currently views college. Readers are impelled to consider whether such goals are being met and, if not, how the current system might be transformed to meet those goals. As such, it is a valuable read for any faculty, staff, administrator, or parent who wants to see the higher education system succeed. In preparation for The Real World of College, Fischman and Gardner conducted a seven-year mixed method study that included 10 college campuses, as different from each other as possible, and conducted more than 2,000 individual interviews. They “made all sorts of observations, spoke to a wide range of individuals associated with the campuses, took careful notes (as well as occasional photographs and videos), and described what [they] saw and heard as carefully and faithfully as possible” (p. 19). Once the study was completed and analysis of the interviews began, they acted as clinicians looking for ways to improve the overall effectiveness of the college experience. They concluded:
以多元智能理论而闻名的霍华德·加德纳(Howard Gardner)与哈佛大学教育研究生院(Harvard Graduate School of Education)的项目主管温迪·费施曼(Wendy Fischman)合作,“对美国的本科高等教育进行了一项实证研究,涵盖了一系列校园;收集和提炼这些校园中不同利益相关者对非职业教育价值的看法”(第18页)。总的来说,这本书提供了一个深刻的和写得很好的广泛研究的帐户。它是可读的,提供了充足的数据和分析,并提出了建议的变化。它不仅促使读者批判性地思考美国高等教育体系的目标,还促使读者思考美国高等教育体系中的每一个利益相关者目前是如何看待大学的。读者不得不考虑这些目标是否正在实现,如果没有实现,那么当前的体系将如何转变以实现这些目标。因此,对于任何想要看到高等教育系统成功的教师、职员、管理人员或家长来说,这本书都是一本有价值的读物。为了准备《大学的真实世界》,Fischman和Gardner进行了一项为期7年的混合方法研究,其中包括10所大学校园,它们之间的差异尽可能大,并进行了2000多次个人采访。他们“进行了各种各样的观察,与与校园有关的各种各样的个人交谈,仔细地做笔记(以及偶尔的照片和视频),并尽可能仔细和忠实地描述[他们]的所见所闻”(第19页)。一旦研究完成,访谈分析开始,他们就扮演临床医生的角色,寻找提高大学体验整体效果的方法。他们的结论是:

Abstract Despite the increased interest and research into the concept of vocation or calling, students are still prone to a reductionist understanding of vocation as primarily their job or career (Kleinhans, 2016; Moser & Fankhauser, 2018; Setran, 2011). Christian higher education institutions have a unique opportunity to help students navigate these potential pitfalls and think more deeply about both their vocation and their occupation. This article highlights shortcomings that result from overly identifying one’s vocation with one’s work and advocates for a mindset of vocational living, which is rooted in a more holistic perspective that recognizes vocation’s broader connection to foundational Christian concepts such as humanity’s creation in the image of God and the call to salvation in and discipleship to Christ (Pfeiffer, 2014; Shatzer, 2019; Waalkes, 2015). This article challenges leaders to ask probing questions and seek opportunities to align the organizational life and practices of the university with this concept of vocational living. Finally, this article also seeks to encourage further research into conceptual perceptions of vocation, as well as into institutional practices that equip students to respond to their calling throughout their lives.

Abstract This paper proposes an original synthesis of teleological aims and priorities of Christian colleges and universities. Based on historical trends and trajectories, I provide a typology of ages based on the purpose of college education and the subsequent views of human personhood: the age of faith, the age of reason, the age of industrialization, and the age of feeling. Each age emphasizes a particular view of personhood and a corresponding view of human flourishing. The paper concludes with an argument for an Augustinian anthropology and purpose. Opposed to the previous models of personhood and flourishing, Augustine and his successors posit that human beings exist fundamentally as lovers, with the heart or soul as central to biblical anthropology and epistemology, and the flourishing life as the double-love of God and neighbor in God.
