Abstract

Abstract:As new digital technologies, consumer demand, and social issues such as COVID-19 render workplaces increasingly data-centric, employers will require culturally and technologically adept workers who can utilize creativity in every stage of the production process. To prepare students for this demand, institutions of higher education must establish flexible programs that provide professional or technical curricula combined with a liberal arts education that fosters students’ abilities to build imaginations beyond conventionally accepted norms. The capacity for creative fantasy intersects with cognitive maturity and higher-order thinking and thus can be measured using models of adult development. Schools should develop knowledge platforms that can first assess a student’s maturity stage and then design a personalized liberal and professional education plan that maximizes their creative abilities. This article therefore engages adult development theory to map possible trajectories toward students’ constructive use of innovative fantasy and to address ways educational institutions can reorient their approaches.
幻想与成人发展
摘要:随着新的数字技术、消费者需求和新冠肺炎等社会问题使工作场所越来越以数据为中心,雇主将需要文化和技术娴熟的工人,他们能够在生产过程的每个阶段利用创造力。为了让学生做好满足这一需求的准备,高等教育机构必须建立灵活的课程,提供专业或技术课程,并结合文科教育,培养学生超越传统公认规范的想象力。创造性幻想的能力与认知成熟度和高阶思维交叉,因此可以使用成人发展模型来衡量。学校应该开发知识平台,首先评估学生的成熟阶段,然后设计个性化的自由和专业教育计划,最大限度地提高他们的创造力。因此,本文运用成人发展理论来绘制学生建设性地使用创新幻想的可能轨迹,并探讨教育机构如何重新调整其方法。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Aesthetic Education (JAE) is a highly respected interdisciplinary journal that focuses on clarifying the issues of aesthetic education understood in its most extensive meaning. The journal thus welcomes articles on philosophical aesthetics and education, to problem areas in education critical to arts and humanities at all institutional levels; to an understanding of the aesthetic import of the new communications media and environmental aesthetics; and to an understanding of the aesthetic character of humanistic disciplines. The journal is a valuable resource not only to educators, but also to philosophers, art critics and art historians.
