Mixed methods approaches are increasing advocated for researching complex problems in the social sciences, but they are not widely used by postgraduate students of public management. This article describes a study where qualitative and quantitative methods lecturers worked collaboratively to design and teach both methodology courses in an integrated way to encourage public management master’s students to see the two methods as complementary, and thus possibly be more open to consider using the mixed methods approach in their research. A multi-method research design was used in this study. Students’ prior studies of qualitative and quantitative research methodology were not found to predict their summative course marks significantly on qualitative and quantitative components, respectively, but initial cognitive competence in the study of statistics correlates with summative performance in the quantitative component. Qualitative and quantitative summative scores correlate strongly, with those students with higher qualitative and higher quantitative summative scores tending to score higher on a task where they reflect on the value of both approaches to their own proposed research. However, students with lower scores, who comprise the majority of the sample, are not able to demonstrate appreciation of the possibilities or status of applying both methodologies to their own research. They tend to misunderstand foundational concepts when applied to their research design and/or show limited ability to apply their understanding to design their own work accurately or in a workable way. This study suggests that, where postgraduate students have prior limited exposure to research methods, improving the quality of student research and their engagement with mixed methods may require more mastery of both methods and methodologies than the scope and pacing of taught master’s programmes usually allow.
在社会科学中,越来越多的人提倡采用混合方法来研究复杂问题,但公共管理专业的研究生并没有广泛使用这种方法。本文描述了一项研究,其中定性和定量方法讲师合作,以综合的方式设计和教授两种方法论课程,以鼓励公共管理硕士生将这两种方法视为互补,从而可能更开放地考虑在研究中使用混合方法。本研究采用多方法研究设计。学生先前对定性和定量研究方法的研究并没有发现分别在定性和定量成分上显著预测他们的总结性课程成绩,但统计学研究中的初始认知能力与定量成分的总结性表现相关。定性和定量终结性得分密切相关,那些定性和定量总结性得分较高的学生在反思这两种方法对他们自己提出的研究的价值的任务中往往得分较高。然而,得分较低的学生(占样本的大部分)无法对将这两种方法应用于自己的研究的可能性或地位表示赞赏。当他们将基本概念应用于研究设计时,他们往往会误解,和/或表现出有限的能力,无法将他们的理解准确或可行地设计自己的作品。这项研究表明,在研究生之前接触研究方法有限的情况下,提高学生研究的质量和他们对混合方法的参与可能需要比教授的硕士课程通常允许的范围和节奏更多地掌握方法和方法。

Introduction: Special issue on curriculum design in public administration education: Challenges and perspectives 引言:公共行政教育课程设计特刊:挑战与展望
IF 1.7 Q3 EDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH Pub Date : 2022-06-02 DOI: 10.1177/01447394221103954

The idea for this special issue emerged out of conversations that occurred on the margins of the International Research Society for Public Management’s panels on education and training. These discussions were wide-ranging, but their common point was a shared interest in the content of public administration and public policy programmes, particularly post-graduate programmes like the Masters of Public Administration (MPA). In other words, these were discussions about curriculum. Though there are several definitions of curriculum in the literature about higher education (Dillion, 2009; Hurlimann et al., 2013; O’Neill, 2015; Petkuté, 2016; Whelahan, 2015), most agree that it consists of the organization and structuring of disciplinary knowledge to enable learning. Curriculum is also about pedagogy and how best to adapt the methods of teaching and learning to convey disciplinary knowledge. Finally, curriculum is also about enabling students to acquire skills, competencies, and behaviours that are relevant to their disciplinary practice. The element of practice is particularly important as most MPA andMPP programmes have a professional orientation toward careers in government and the public sector. At the same time, international student mobility and availability of distance learning programmes -(with or without a residential component), curriculum perceived to be innovative or job-ready is one way by which public administration programmes differentiate themselves in a competitive market for students.
这个特刊的想法来自于国际公共管理研究学会关于教育和培训的小组讨论。这些讨论范围广泛,但它们的共同点是对公共行政和公共政策方案,特别是像公共行政硕士这样的研究生方案的内容有共同的兴趣。换句话说,这些是关于课程的讨论。虽然在高等教育文献中有几种课程的定义(Dillion, 2009;Hurlimann et al., 2013;奥尼尔,2015;Petkute, 2016;Whelahan, 2015),大多数人认为它包括学科知识的组织和结构,以实现学习。课程也是关于教学法,以及如何最好地调整教学方法来传达学科知识。最后,课程也是为了让学生获得与他们的学科实践相关的技能、能力和行为。实践的元素是特别重要的,因为大多数MPA和mpp方案有一个专业的方向,在政府和公共部门的职业生涯。与此同时,国际学生的流动性和远程学习课程的可用性-(有或没有住宿部分),被认为是创新或就业准备的课程是公共行政课程在竞争激烈的学生市场中脱颖而出的一种方式。

Student difficulty in public administration has witnessed some writings within the African context. Although these studies are emerging, there seems to be minimal research on the influence of school libraries on students’ understanding of public administration. This gap in the public administration literature precludes educational managers from determining whether or not the variable influences students understanding of the course/programme. Not establishing this places educational managers in a situation that inhibits them from placing measures to enhance the understanding of the course from the lenses of school libraries. This study responds to the gap in the public administration literature by employing a mixed-method approach to investigate the influence of the variable in the study of public administration by Ghanaian and Nigerian university students using a sample of N = 650. Anchored on the Culturo-Techno- Contextual Approach, the study results suggest significant differences in corruption, governance, and defining public administration ( p < .001) when there are poor school libraries. Both theoretical and practical implications have been proferred for the use of school libraries to enhance students’ understanding of difficult concepts in the study of public administration in Ghanaian and Nigerian universities.
学生在公共管理方面的困难见证了一些非洲背景下的写作。虽然这些研究正在兴起,但关于学校图书馆对学生理解公共行政的影响的研究似乎很少。公共行政文献中的这一空白使教育管理人员无法确定变量是否影响学生对课程/方案的理解。如果没有建立这一点,教育管理者就无法采取措施,从学校图书馆的角度来加强对课程的理解。本研究针对公共管理文献的空白,采用混合方法,以N = 650为样本,调查加纳和尼日利亚大学生在公共管理研究中变量的影响。在文化-技术-语境方法的基础上,研究结果表明,当学校图书馆条件差时,腐败、治理和公共管理的定义存在显著差异(p < 0.001)。在加纳和尼日利亚大学的公共行政研究中,利用学校图书馆来提高学生对困难概念的理解,提供了理论和实践意义。

Public administration educators in the United States have renewed their interest in incorporating an international perspective into their teaching. Why is this perspective important for students and how can educators integrate it meaningfully? In this article, I provide an argument for the internationalization of public administration curricula, generate nine “principles of practice” to help guide internationalization efforts, and specify two broad strategies through which an international dimension can be integrated into public administration curricula—one for leveraging comparative material in domestically-focused curricula and another for developing a distinct and standalone internationally-focused specialization.
美国的公共行政教育工作者重新燃起了将国际视野纳入教学的兴趣。为什么这种观点对学生很重要,教育工作者如何将其有意义地整合?在这篇文章中,我为公共行政课程的国际化提供了一个论据,提出了九条“实践原则”来帮助指导国际化努力,并具体规定了两个广泛的战略,通过这两个战略可以将国际层面纳入公共行政课程——一个是在以国内为重点的课程中利用比较材料,另一个是发展一个独特和独立的以国际为重点的专业。

Mass adoption of advanced information technologies is fueling a need for public servants with the skills to manage data-driven public agencies. Public employees typically acquire data skills through graduate research methods courses, which focus primarily on research design and statistical analysis. What data skills are currently taught, and what content should Master of Public Administration (MPA) programs include in their research method courses? We categorized research method course content in 52 syllabi from 31 MPA programs to understand how data skills are taught in public administration. We find that most graduate programs rely on research methods more suited for academic and policy research while lacking the data skills needed to modernize public agencies. Informed by these results, this work presents the Data Science Literacy Framework as a guide for assessing and planning curriculum within MPA programs.
大量采用先进的信息技术,增加了对具备管理数据驱动型公共机构技能的公务员的需求。公务员通常通过研究生研究方法课程获得数据技能,这些课程主要侧重于研究设计和统计分析。目前教授哪些数据技能,公共管理硕士(MPA)项目的研究方法课程应该包括哪些内容?我们对31个MPA项目的52个教学大纲中的研究方法课程内容进行了分类,以了解如何在公共管理中教授数据技能。我们发现,大多数研究生课程依赖于更适合学术和政策研究的研究方法,而缺乏使公共机构现代化所需的数据技能。根据这些结果,本工作提出了数据科学素养框架,作为MPA项目中评估和规划课程的指南。

In the year 2021, the world was exposed to and is still facing a health pandemic, the Covid-19 pandemic. The modes of learning and teaching had to adapt to the unexpected challenges and multiple demands on education because of the turbulent waters of Covid-19. The situation remains fluid as there is an international and national escalation of the infection rates and as lockdown restrictions are lifted, institutions of higher education are having to re-shape and adapt the rigid learning and teaching approaches to be more flexible and provide solutions to these challenges. This article reports on the transformation of learning and teaching practices in higher education institutions in South Africa during the Covid-19 pandemic. The purpose of this article is to reflect on how the Covid-19 pandemic has changed the modes of learning and teaching, despite several challenges that are still prevalent in these spaces. The article employs a qualitative research methodology approach and uses desktop research as a data collection tool. The findings revealed that the learning and teaching spaces are evolving to adapt to the circumstances, irrespective of the challenges, as it is an ongoing transformative environment that should ensure that these challenges are not exacerbated.
2021年,世界面临并仍面临一场健康大流行,即新冠肺炎大流行。由于新冠肺炎的汹涌水流,学习和教学模式不得不适应对教育的意外挑战和多重需求。随着国际和国内感染率的上升,以及封锁限制的解除,情况仍然不稳定,高等教育机构不得不重塑和调整僵化的学习和教学方法,使其更加灵活,并为这些挑战提供解决方案。本文报道了新冠肺炎大流行期间南非高等教育机构学习和教学实践的转变。本文的目的是反思新冠肺炎大流行如何改变了学习和教学模式,尽管这些领域仍然存在一些挑战。本文采用了定性研究方法,并使用桌面研究作为数据收集工具。研究结果表明,无论面临什么挑战,学习和教学空间都在不断发展,以适应环境,因为这是一个持续的变革环境,应该确保这些挑战不会加剧。

Communication is a critical government function that has important implications for public administration and effective governance. This research study explores how communication competencies are taught in public affairs programs in the United States. Based on a general web content analysis of graduate programs, and specific analyses of course titles, course descriptions, and course syllabi, this study examines the extent to which communication competencies are integrated into public affairs curricula. This paper also discusses how communication skills map on to the five NASPAA core competencies. Compared to previous decades, communication courses are increasingly emphasized in public administration programs. But there is greater potential for such offerings in the age of digital government, social media, and Artificial Intelligence. This study’s findings have important implications for the teaching and practice of public affairs.
沟通是一项重要的政府职能,对公共行政和有效治理具有重要意义。这项研究探讨了在美国公共事务项目中如何教授沟通能力。基于对研究生课程的一般网络内容分析,以及对课程名称、课程描述和课程大纲的具体分析,本研究考察了沟通能力在多大程度上融入了公共事务课程。本文还讨论了沟通技能如何映射到NASPAA的五个核心能力。与前几十年相比,公共管理课程越来越重视沟通课程。但在数字政府、社交媒体和人工智能时代,此类产品有更大的潜力。这项研究的发现对公共事务的教学和实践具有重要意义。

This reflective contribution tells the story of a veteran public sector crisis management (CM) researcher’s 35-year journey with educating students and CM practitioners, It offers preliminary insights about how the pandemic experience might – and should – induce a significant rethink of how educators conceptualize the nature of crises and the challenges governments and public agencies face in coping with them.
这篇反思性的文章讲述了一位资深公共部门危机管理(CM)研究人员35年来教育学生和CM从业人员的故事,它提供了关于大流行的经验如何可能——也应该——促使教育者对危机的性质以及政府和公共机构在应对危机时面临的挑战进行重大反思的初步见解。

This study aims to explore whether an introductory undergraduate course in Public Administration might be an appropriate educational tool for enhancing public service motivation (PSM) among undergraduate students. A quasi-experimental design involves surveying participants both before and after the intervention (taking an Introduction to Public Administration course) to examine whether their levels of PSM increase as a result of the intervention. The hypotheses were tested by comparing 96 students exposed to an intervention (experimental group) with 166 students who were not exposed (control group). There was no significant change in the total score of PSM and its individual dimensions before and after the intervention in both groups, and so the Introduction to Public Administration course was not effective in enhancing the level of PSM. The implications and limitations of this quasi-experiment are also discussed.
本研究旨在探讨公共管理本科入门课程是否是提高本科生公共服务动机的合适教育工具。准实验设计包括在干预前后对参与者进行调查(参加公共管理导论课程),以检查他们的PSM水平是否因干预而增加。通过比较96名接受干预的学生(实验组)和166名未接受干预的同学(对照组)来检验这些假设。在干预前后,两组的PSM总分及其个人维度都没有显著变化,因此公共管理导论课程在提高PSM水平方面并不有效。还讨论了这种准实验的含义和局限性。
