Abstract

Research has documented that applied projects that are experiential and grounded in the course contents offer effective hands-on experience to students to understand the course materials and apply their learnings in a meaningful way. Experiential learning is particularly relevant to Master of Public Administration Programs (MPA) , which are usually applied and many of these programs' mission is to serve in-career students. This paper discusses the effective use of a major assignment (creating a nonprofit organization, on paper) for a MPA course in Managing Nonprofit Organizations. It also requires students to critically think about applying the six practices of high- impact nonprofits discussed in Forces for Good. The paper will explain the assignment and discuss how this assignment addresses multiple learning outcomes of this course. It will also provide students’ feedback on the assignment and some long-term outcomes of students’ experiences with this course and the assignment.

期刊介绍： Teaching Public Administration (TPA) is a peer-reviewed journal, published three times a year, which focuses on teaching and learning in public sector management and organisations. TPA is committed to publishing papers which promote critical thinking about the practice and process of teaching and learning as well as those which examine more theoretical and conceptual models of teaching and learning. It offers an international forum for the debate of a wide range of issues relating to how skills and knowledge are transmitted and acquired within public sector/not for profit organisations. The Editors welcome papers which draw upon multi-disciplinary ways of thinking and working and, in particular, we are interested in the following themes/issues: Learning from international practice and experience; Curriculum design and development across all levels from pre-degree to post graduate including professional development; Professional and Taught Doctoral Programmes; Reflective Practice and the role of the Reflective Practitioner; Co-production and co-construction of the curriculum; Developments within the ‘Public Administration’ discipline; Reviews of literature and policy statements.
