Any discussion of selective recruitment of students for teacher education must turn upon a number of assumptions re garding the way in which young people make vocational choices. In this article, Dr. Jordaan reviews current research re garding the choice of a vocation and of fers a summary of our present knowledge of the subject. He argues that vocational "development" is a better term than "choice" because "Every vocational deci sion has a history.... The final decision ... is the result of a process stretching over many years." The author is Visiting Assistant Pro fessor of Education in Teachers College, Columbia University
