 * education based on making connections
 * Term "purpose-guided education" created by Jerry Pattengale
 * Pattengale began his observation by looking at comparisons of student success
 * intrinsic motivation: driven by self-enjoyment rather than actual benefit
 * In response to limited student success:
 * necessary for students to understand why life after college and outside of it is important to their education and the effects that it has on their education
 * will give students a sense of direction...
 * which will help in outweighing the negative, unsatisfactory aspect of education and the path to academic success (Pattengale's opinion)
 * purpose of education becomes clearer when taking into consideration what you want your future to look like in the very beginning
 * Better to focus on actual benefits rather than intrinsic elements
 * In response to the history of education:
 * irony of this type of education is that it focuses on the foundational elements of education (why is this ironic?)
 * Socrates: unexamined life not worth living
 * high education values making decisions based on an array of information (the best available)
 * it is extremely important to ask questions; implicate higher order thinking
 * idea of investigating one's place in the world is developing
 * metaphysical question such as this one are a grey area within the field of education
 * is it because there isn't a clear, definitive answer?
 * is it because these kinds of questions require answers based on opinion and experience?
 * In response to purpose-guided education at Indiana Wesleyan University
 * Jerry Pattengale applied his "purpose-guided education" system here first, so this is an interesting, accurate perspective
 * IWU had a focus on personal development
 * led to the exploration of the notion of purpose
 * interesting that they included a viewpoint from a university perspective

Overall the article was well structured. There was no bias and it was mainly factual and easy to understand. In other words, the content was neutral. The author began with defining what purpose-guided education is. The sources seemed credible and they worked. Everything in the article is relevant to the topic, and I picked a broad topic preliminarily as I look to choose a more focused one. The author did offer another viewpoint in the sense that he provided readers with the definition of a purpose-guided education in terms of Indiana Wesleyan University.
