POLITICAL EDUCATION FOR PUBLIC SERVANTS

Hank Edmondson

Review of Policy Research, 1989, vol. 8, issue 4, 834-839

Abstract: Incorporating democratic values into public administration education is not an easy task. To ignore democratic values completely, however, would be to tacitly condone the violation of these principles by an administrator thus making democracy training all the more essential. In this article, the ideas of the American Founders and the ideas of John Dewey regarding democracy in education are compared. It is the opinion of the author that the Founders and Dewey had such divergent views of teaching democracy precisely because they had very different definitions of democracy.
