Overview

This book offers a comprehensive selection of the latest work on teaching ethics in public administration. It presents in-depth original studies on contemporary innovations, strategies, and issues in ethics instruction and examines the most recent efforts to design ethicseducation curricula that make an important difference in the lives of professional men and women. The volume features an interesting variety of program innovations from across the nation, and offers an eclectic group of pedagogical strategies, with particular relevance to on-campus learning. The contributors provide examples of ethics training in the field, focusing on three different kinds of practitioners in three different parts of the country, and deal with often-overlooked issues in the teaching of ethics such as program management, faculty-student relations, research, and consulting.

In the spring of 1995, a total of 138 principal representatives in the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs/Administration were surveyed about their schools' ethics education programs in terms of goals, curriculum, conceptual approaches, instructional methods and technologies, and consequences. Seventeen contributions discuss the results of the survey, and offer in-depth studies on selected program innovations, teaching strategies, and ethics issues related to the public affairs and administration academy.
