Preparing public managers for the digital era: incorporating information management, use, and technology into public affairs graduate curricula
研究美国公共事务研究生课程如何应对数字时代需求,发现现有课程未能跟上行业变化,建议平衡技术与政府关注点,将信息管理、使用和技术融入主流课程。
This study examines how current public affairs graduate programmes prepare students for governing in the digital age and offer suggestions for how to better incorporate information management, use, and technology into public affairs curricula in the United States. Through surveys of graduate programme directors and content analysis of course syllabi, this study shows that current curricula have failed to keep pace with rapid changes in the industry. Courses on information management, use, and technology need to balance their focus on technology with their focus on government. It remains a challenge to integrate information management, use, and technology topics into mainstream management and policy foci.
