TEACHING METHODS IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION REVISITED

Timothy J. DeYoung and Bruce J. Perlman

Review of Policy Research, 1989, vol. 8, issue 4, 852-858

Abstract: Methodology courses in MPA programs tend to be unpopular with students and professors alike. These same courses, however, prove to be among the most valuable when the student is completing the degree program or when the student becomes a practitioner of public administration. In this article, many of the most widely used learning models for methodology are critiqued. In addition, the authors make a case for the use of inquiry training techniques, arguing that they are most appropriate for both students and professor because of their environmental sensitivity.
