Abstract

The author presents an account of the history of the American system of vocational education. Special emphasis is placed upon the tension between the two fundamental concepts underlying vocational education: the pedagogical und socio-political perspective on the one hand, and the economic interests on the other. This conflict is reflected in the debate on the form of vocational education: work-based versus school-based.
