This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study addresses a growing concern of academic dishonesty in higher education based on the theory that an increase in moral development may lead to an increase in moral behavior. Students' moral development and its relationship with student characteristics, co-curricular college experiences, and students' level of involvement (degree of commitment) in those experiences were examined. Three research questions were posited: (1) What is the relationship between student background characteristics (sex, academic level, and age) and students moral development? (2) What is the nature of the relationship between undergraduate involvement in co-curricular experiences (student government association, Greek life, Greek life leadership, structured internship, and faculty mentored research) and moral development? (3) What is the nature of the relationship between the level of involvement in co-curricular college experiences and moral development? Data were analyzed from a convenience sample of college students gathered through an on-line electronic survey. Moral development was measured by the moral judgment score (N2 index) obtained through participant responses to the Defining Issues Test-2 (DIT-2) (Rest, Narvaez, Bebeau, & Thoma, 1999). The relationship between the independent variables and moral development was measured using independent samples t-tests, between-subject Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and general linear modeling. Two statistically significant findings were uncovered. Students who reported participation on a faculty mentored research project had higher levels of moral development (N2 index) than students who did not participate in this experience (p = .03); and sex showed statistically significant differences between males and females and moral development (N2 index) (p = .04). The findings suggest the need for more support of faculty members and their research projects to encourage student researchers. Evidence from this study shows college involvement through faculty member engagement plays a critical role in students' moral development and lays the groundwork for further investigation of factors that may influence this relationship.

Book excerpt: Most leadership literature stems from and focuses on the private sector, emphasizing personal qualities that bind leaders and followers to a shared purpose. As the authors of New Public Leadership argue, if these shared purposes do not build trust and legitimacy in public institutions, such traditional leadership tropes fall short of the standard demanded by contemporary public servants. For twenty years the authors have been developing a leadership education and training framework specifically designed to encourage public service professionals to ‘lead from where they sit.’ This book presents that comprehensive, integrated, and practical leadership framework, grounded in the uniqueness of public legal missions, culture, history and values. The authors explore three key elements of leadership success: 1) an understanding of our public service context, including the history, the values and the institutions that comprise our leadership setting, 2) a set of tools designed to help leaders initiate collective action in wicked challenge settings, and 3) tools to support sound judgment, enabling leaders to do the right thing in the right circumstances for the right reasons. The authors further provide readers with a basic understanding of democratic institutions, encouraging them to work within and across multiple vertical and horizontal systems of authority. The book is organized into four sections, each of which is accompanied by a Master Case that provides the reader with an opportunity to apply the principles and leadership tools discussed in the text to practice. To further reinforce the practice-centered approach to leadership knowledge and skills, the authors have developed an accompanying EMERGE Leadership Handbook, complete with exercises, available online. Written specifically with the practicing public manager in mind, this book arms public servants with a large repertoire of leadership skills, designed to accommodate changing public values and conflicting priorities at all levels of our public organizations.

Download or read book Foundations of Public Service written by Douglas F. Morgan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed to serve as a basic text for introductory courses in public administration, this pioneering work provides students with a clear-eyed understanding of the vital management functions covered in most standard textbooks with two important differences. First, it is written to address the needs of both the experienced practitioner and the entry-level public servant. Case examples bridge the content-rich environment of practitioners with the principles of public administration sought by pre-service students. Second, the discussion of management practices is grounded in the political and ethical tensions inherent in the American constitutional form of governance. This innovative approach reflects the authors' belief that public administration operates as an integral part of the country's political traditions, and thereby helps define the political culture. Key themes in this third edition include: • an emphasis on the ways in which public administration and their agents play a critical role in ensuring legal and political accountability of the political system; • an exploration of local public administration as the backstop of American democracy, requiring a close working partnership between part-time elected officials and career administrators; • careful examination of the ways in which the American political economy requires administrators who are skilled at co-producing the common good with voluntary associations, businesses, nonprofit organizations and other governmental entities; • an understanding that public administration plays a critical role with its prudential judgments in balancing the competing values necessary to secure a regime of ordered liberty. Every chapter has been thoroughly updated, with particular attention paid to chapters on budgeting and revenue, e-government and the digital divide, shared power and the rise of "wicked problems," and the future of public administration in the United States amidst deep polarization. Foundations of Public Service, 3rd Edition provides a framework for understanding American political traditions and how they inform public administration as a political practice. It is required reading for all introductory Public Administration courses with an emphasis on practice and real-world applications.

This book was released on 2007-04-29 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to address moral reasoning and socioscientific discourse. It provides a theoretical framework to reconsider what a "functional view" of scientific literacy entails, by examining how nature of science issues, classroom discourse issues, cultural issues, and science-technology-society-environment case-based issues contribute to habits of mind about socioscientific content. The text covers philosophical, psychological and pedagogical considerations underpinning moral reasoning, as well as the status of socioscientific issues in science education.

Download or read book Moral Reasoning Gender and Student Participation While in College written by Julie Anne Nettleton and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation aims to understand the motivations and influences that drive male and female students' participation in experiences that research demonstrates to have a positive impact on students' moral reasoning development while in college. Moral reasoning is an important aspect of student development that contextualizes how students make decisions and view themselves as part of a larger whole. Research has demonstrated that several factors may positively impact one's moral reasoning development while in college, including certain academic, cultural and social experiences. However, existing literature suggests that gender may be a factor in moral reasoning development, often suggesting that college women achieve higher levels of moral reasoning while in college. Through semi-structured interviews of male and female college juniors and seniors, this study explores the motivations and influences that impact participation choices while in college. The findings suggest both similarities and differences across gender, which may shed light on possible gender differences in moral reasoning outcomes in college. Better understanding the role that gender plays in student choices could inform college administrators around issues that impact student participation and, therefore, meaningful development while in college.

Download or read book An Exploration of Moral Reasoning Development in College Freshmen and Its Relationship with Epistemological Beliefs and Need for Cognition written by Meghan M. Saculla and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The moral reasoning development of college freshmen was investigated over the course of a semester. Participants were tested at the beginning of the semester and at the end of the semester and were either in a course that required active engagement in critical thinking (e.g. perspective-taking, reflection) about social and political issues or in a course that did not provide such opportunities. Past literature supports a link between the aforementioned experiences and the promotion of moral judgment development (Rest, 1986; King & Mayhew, 2005; Schlaefli, Rest, & Thoma, 1985). In addition to moral reasoning development, the individual characteristics of epistemological beliefs and need for cognition were measured because an interaction between the environment and the individual may relate to the development of moral judgment (Rest & Narvaez, 1991; Pascarella & Terenzini, 1991). Change in moral reasoning was not observed for either course type; it is possible that changes occurred outside of the confines of the semester, but the study was not designed to account for this possibility. Additionally, results indicated relationships between moral reasoning development and epistemological beliefs, as well as need for cognition. Implications of the present study relate to promoting moral judgment development in educational settings, including consideration of individual characteristics related to thinking dispositions and views about the nature of knowledge.
