Resumen

The term "liberal education" has roots in the Latin word for a free person and the artes liberales emerged historically as the education appropriate for free people. In the modern world, and especially in the United States after the American Revolution,liberal education drew on these roots to position itself as the best preparation for selfgovernance in a free democratic society. At Hoa Sen University,liberal education has been chosen as a way to develop students, alongside their professional preparation. In the search for best application options of liberal education, the author realized the connection between liberal education philosophy and Vygotsky’s educational approach, as known as the zone of proximal development.

Indeed, a liberal arts education does not necessarily include a liberal education, and a liberal arts program may even be as specialized as a vocational program . James Engell , the author of The Value of a Liberal Arts Education, argues that, "A liberal education provides the framework for an educated and thoughtful citizen." 1. The freemen, mostly concerned about their rights and obligations as citizens, received a non-specialized, non-vocational,liberal arts education that produced well-rounded citizens aware of their place in society. At the same time, Socrates emphasized the importance of individualism, impressing upon his students the duty of man to form his own opinions through reason rather than indoctrination.

Athenian education also provided a balance between developing the mind and the body.Another possibility is that liberal education dates back to the Zhou Dynasty, where the teachings of Confucianism focused on propriety, morality, and social order. While liberal education is a Western movement, it has been influential in other regions as well. For example, in Japan during the general liberalism of the Taishō period, there was a liberal education movement that saw the establishment of a number of schools based on liberal education in the 1920s.

Aims of liberal education Society needs well and broadly educated citizens. The more liberally educated citizens it has, the stronger it will be.Individuals benefit from being well and broadly educated. The more they are liberally educated, the stronger they will be in both their personal and their professional lives, and as citizens .

Liberal arts education is not an alternative to vocational training. It helps students develop a sense of social responsibility as well as strong intellectual and practical skills that span all major fields of study,such as communication, analytical and problem-solving skills, and includes a demonstrated ability to apply knowledge and skills in real-world settings. It provides broad learning in liberal arts and science disciplines, and forms the basis for developing important intellectual, civic, and practical capacities.General education can take many forms, and increasingly includes introductory, advanced, and integrative forms of learning.

This brings us closer to Vygotsky’s idea about the zone of proximal development, which, as experience and research have shown, authentically develops freedom of mind and self-awareness in almost all populations, including children and adults. The connection with Vygotsky’s theory of the zone of proximal development According to Vygotsky ,cognitive growth and development are a function, in large part, of interpersonal exchange. Vygotsky invoked the principle of the "zone of proximal development" to explain the significance of social interaction. The same principle is applied for group research final project and its evaluation, which enable group leaders’ role in the assessment of every member, based on their contributions.

To help group leaders complete this function, the teacher should design for them evaluation forms with objectively qualitative and quantitative criteria.One of the most significant features of Vygotsky’s theory of the ZPD, and also the approach of liberal education, is that in order to succeed as a liberal educator, one should comprehend and master the work of modeling. This means if we, educators, want to teach students how to respect rules and each other, we should respect the rules and the students first.

Traduccion

El término "educación liberal" tiene sus raíces en la palabra latina para una persona libre y las artes liberales surgieron históricamente como la educación apropiada para las personas libres. En el mundo moderno, y especialmente en los Estados Unidos después de la Revolución Americana, la educación liberal se basó en estas raíces para posicionarse como la mejor preparación para el autogobierno en una sociedad democrática libre. En la Universidad de Hoa Sen, la educación liberal ha sido elegida como una forma de desarrollar estudiantes, junto con su preparación profesional. En la búsqueda de las mejores opciones de aplicación de educación liberal, el autor se dio cuenta de la conexión entre la filosofía de la educación liberal y el enfoque educativo de Vygotsky, conocida como la zona de desarrollo próximo.
