The academic literature has expanded significantly in recent times to consider how Gen-AI is transforming the learning process. However, there still remain gaps in the literature, first in applying selected individual Gen-AI applications to classroom learning, and second in focusing upon specific uses in public administration education. In addressing this gap, this research uses a sequence of assignment scenarios to examine how Gen-AI may be integrated into pedagogical approaches and align with course learning objectives. Using the Gen-AI application ChatGPT– which is a popular choice for students to consult for course assignments– an examination of results generated from program queries point toward both opportunities and challenges from the perspectives of teaching (instructors) and learning (students). The below discussion contributes to the literature by first developing three assignment scenarios (linked to learning objectives) to explore the utility of Gen-AI in the learning process, and second discusses various teaching and learning benefits and challenges which are premised on the need for moderation and carefully planned usage of Gen-AI technology in the classroom. This blending of pedagogical theory and practice suggests a need for instructors to teach students about the implications of technology usage and assignment originality in unison with the actual topical coverage of the content that is being presented.

It has always been a crucial question as to what kind of education should be provided to practitioners working at different levels of public administration, starting from the street level onwards, and what kind of interactions should be used to develop their competencies once in office. However, especially in the last 30 years, as we have entered a period of accelerating technological and institutional transformations, this issue has gained a dimension beyond the discussions on higher education and training for service. In addition to how public administration education will relate to practice as seen in traditional debates, new questions have emerged, such as how this engagement with practice can provide a perspective on institutional transformation, how those working in institutions can perceive their transformation processes more accurately, and ultimately, what kind of interaction can be achieved between those receiving public administration education and those working in public institutions. To answer these questions, an innovative model called “studio of public reasoning” was developed in 2009 for a university in public administration education in Turkey to create a platform for interaction with the external stakeholders of the university through an applied course. This Program has been implemented continuously for 15 years at the same university and more than 1000 students, about 100 public institutions of different scales and about 300 public administrators have benefited from the Program. In this paper, based on this experience, the gains of innovative teaching practices in public administration discipline in interacting with external stakeholders are critically evaluated through interviews with students, academics and administrators to assess whether alternatives are possible in establishing non-hierarchical external stakeholder interaction together with formal higher education for public administration.

There is an increasing call to include Artificial Intelligence (AI) competencies in academic disciplines such as Public Administration, which are not obviously related to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). However, the literature on the integration of AI in non-STEM curricula in South African higher education institutions (HEIs), especially in Public Administration curricula, is limited. To address this lacuna, this research assessed the integration of AI competencies in undergraduate Bachelor of Administration (BAdmin) curricula in three HEIs randomly selected from the six offering such a programme. The chosen qualitative research approach focused on human and technical competencies. The findings show that AI competencies are not adequately integrated into the Public Administration curricula of the assessed HEIs in the form of core modules supporting AI competencies. These competencies are only loosely supported by elective (optional) modules. This general AI competency gap in the Public Administration curricula of the assessed South African HEIs must be bridged to achieve a digital public sector by introducing focused AI competency training into the BAdmin curriculum. This will help to create a public sector workforce equipped to handle the opportunities and challenges presented by AI, and maximise the potential of this transformative technology.

Each nation employs a variety of specialized policy measures to grow and expand its contingent of civil servants through its political system and civil service features. Among them, training and retraining are deemed to be the most important measures. Although the approaches and contents used for training and retraining civil servants vary, they all strive to create a workforce of employees who are well-equipped to meet the demands of serving the government and the people. The author of this paper examines training and retraining and how they affect the competence of civil servants. Based on the theoretical framework developed, the author conducts a direct survey of 250 local civil servants at the commune level in five provinces, including Dien Bien Province, Lai Chau Province (Northern Region), Quang Ngai Province (Central region), and Tay Ninh Province, Binh Duong Province (Southern region). According to research findings, civil servants underappreciate the training, additional knowledge, and professional training that local authorities deliver. The author offers some recommendations from the study’s findings for local leaders to adjust training and retraining strategies appropriately to improve the quality of civil servants toward better serving the people, including: Developing and implementing a training and retraining program for government civil servants under the competency framework for each job title and position.

This article presents an approach for teaching policy capacity to civil servants based on a workshop that took place in 2018 under the auspices of the Government of Prince Edward Island’s Policy Capacity Learning Series. It argues that workshops which introduce civil servants to the concept of policy capacity can enhance skills-based training and knowledge of the policy environment. Through a learner-focused, collaborative and constructivist pedagogy, the workshop involved a group activity where civil servants constructed a visual diagram of their policy environment by categorizing actors, skills, resources, institutions and concepts according to a policy capacity framework. This article discusses the workshop’s planning and delivery requirements which can be used, adapted and improved by practitioners in other jurisdictions. It also provides considerations for future training and education in public administration.

Public administrators can play a vital role in the articulation of demands emerging from the community and can serve to advance these demands by their position of authority, skills and knowledge to help facilitate the development of programs and projects to address public needs. This article describes the role that a small Master of Public Administration program and several of its faculty and students played to support a project which sought to aid the development of family-friendly policies and programs on the campus of the University of Massachusetts Lowell, a mid-sized, public university in the Northeastern United States. The article lays out the personal experience of the authors as they relate to their decision to participate in the program, a description of the project and the assistance that MPA students were able to render the initiative, the manner in which integrating the commitment to campus improvement for pregnant and parenting students influenced the content of several MPA courses, and the synergies which developed as students worked to develop skills in communication, focus-group moderation, qualitative data analysis, presentation delivery and report-writing.

As students invest in higher education, an assumption of value creation emerges as training and education are expected to yield career and compensation outcomes. Given the growth of nonprofit management education, we see merit in investigating how alumni perceive their degree in terms of the return on their investment of money and time. This study relies on survey data collected from the (project name redacted for anonymity), and joins the Project’s previous findings to elucidate how nonprofit management education is shaping the nonprofit sector’s workforce. Our findings highlight how nonprofit sector commitment, but not work in the sector, influences how graduate alumni view their degree, and that those carrying a higher financial burden from their degree view their degree less favorably. These findings inform administrators of nonprofit degree programs about how students perceive the value of their education and how that perception impacts nonprofit management education as a pipeline for the nonprofit workforce.

In “Women, power and rape culture: The politics of policy and underrepresentation”, authors Bonnie Stabile and Aubrey Leigh Grant provide a rich overview and detailed research surrounding the reality and politics of harassment, sexual assault, and rape within Legislative, Judicial, and Executive branches, and the avenue to those branches our college campuses during former President Trump’s term. The authors’ unique ability to connect the ways in which these powerful institutions create and exacerbate structural impediment to women’s full participation in places of power provides a much-needed addition to the national conversation about how we can, and should, do better in terms of gender equity and full inclusion in places of power.

Despite the vast literature on public administration education (PAE), there is still a need for a broader perspective and exploration of its general characteristics, focal points, and objectives to create an overarching framework. Stemming from this motivation, this study establishes an investigative point of view that considers both the structural and functional dimensions of existing literature, embracing the big questions of PAE proposed by Denhardt, as a precise foundational base. By conducting a content analysis on 1401 program learning outcomes from 110 universities offering undergraduate public administration programs in Türkiye, the study provides national-scale qualitative evidence for the big questions. The prominent findings indicate that PAE prioritizes equipping graduates with practical skills beyond immediate job preparation in the functional axis, while it appears to overlook the theoretical gains in the structural axis. Findings on competencies make a supportive contribution to the scholarly discourse on PAE, emphasizing the crucial role of managerial and technical competencies for future roles. Remarkably, less visible but insightful final findings regarding values such as ethics, human rights, social justice, equality, and democracy have the potential to be inspiring in clarifying and realizing the PAE’s meta-goal, whose definition and scope are not yet clear.
