A survey was administered to 1,256 nonprofit organizations to determine a. their capacity to plan and b. what strategic planning processes they used. Using regression analysis, it was found that the presence of a strategic plan acted as a statistically significant indicator of higher organizational capacity. Next, strategic methods were evaluated to determine which ones were associated with higher capacity scores. This research makes two main contributions. First, it enhances, using a large national sample the academic debate as to the usefulness of strategic planning. Second, for practitioners, this research demonstrates which strategic methods were found to be associated with the highest performing organizations, using our capacity indicator. Based on these findings we believe that nonprofit managers can optimize their resources and focus on those methods that provide them with the highest return on their strategic efforts. Additionally, nonprofit faculty now have data to suggest what strategic planning methods should be taught in our classrooms.","PeriodicalId":43170,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nonprofit Education and Leadership","volume":"43 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139446379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It examined whether the Design Thinking method could enhance college students’ creative confidence and creative efficacy and sought to identify additional benefits of mastering this approach. Thirty-eight students from various departments, schools, and colleges at a Southeastern University who took a semester-long class in Design Thinking participated in this study. After taking this course, students showed increased creative confidence and creative efficacy. Qualitative analysis of students’ reflection journals revealed additional benefits of the Design Thinking process: transferability of Design Thinking knowledge and skills to other classes and areas of work and life; teamwork; personal transformation and challenging assumptions; newly developed appreciation of human-centeredness in program design; and openness to risk-taking and failure. This study highlights numerous benefits of using the Design Thinking method in a classroom setting and provides practice implications for educators.","PeriodicalId":43170,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nonprofit Education and Leadership","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139446951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A post-baccalaureate Capstone Certificate program was then approved and offered, based on the set of courses that the Center has developed. Courses to meet the needs of these programs were developed with a focus on critical pedagogies and an expanded notion of subject matter, relying on community-based learning, praxis applications, and course structures which accommodate a diverse community of learners and contributors. This paper will examine how these course models and some of their key features and approaches advance best practices for applied learning in the field of nonprofit and community studies. Promising pedagogical features and strategies of the courses which the authors recommend for course design in this field include: decentering academic knowledge in favor of practitioner and community wisdom and engagement; emphasizing the value of the learning community as a source of diverse perspective and expertise; and critical consciousness development and practical skills building through reflection, action, and praxis—all taking into account the skills, experiences, and needs of adult learners.","PeriodicalId":43170,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nonprofit Education and Leadership","volume":"60 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139447657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Service-learning instructors faced a quandary: discontinuing activities could compromise course integrity, but requiring service was impossible, impractical, or inappropriate. Creative solutions were needed. This study explored the learning outcomes from a replacement activity, the philanthropic informational interview, in a philanthropy general education class and asked whether it could generate outcomes similar to service-learning. Data were drawn from student reflections (n = 145) from nine online course sections between spring 2020 and summer 2021. Thematic analysis identified eight learning outcomes: engaging with social issues, nonprofit solutions to social issues, insights into nonprofits’ innerworkings, philanthropy as everyone’s responsibility, enhanced empathetic understanding, value-driven career inspiration, developing interview skills, and building career capacities. These outcomes align with research about service-learning and suggest that the philanthropic informational interview can be a meaningful alternative to service-learning in some situations.","PeriodicalId":43170,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nonprofit Education and Leadership","volume":"45 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136159364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two Perspectives on Nonprofit Management Education: Public Administration and Social Work 非营利组织管理教育的两个视角:公共行政与社会工作

{"title":"Two Perspectives on Nonprofit Management Education: Public Administration and Social Work","authors":"Roseanne Mirabella, Richard Hoefer","doi":"10.18666/jnel-12208","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18666/jnel-12208","url":null,"abstract":"This special issue of the Journal of Nonprofit Education and Leadership seeks to help define the distinctiveness of particular disciplines to their understanding of nonprofit organizations and nonprofit education. While the invitation leans toward individual entries, discipline by discipline, this manuscript proposes to develop an explicit “compare and contrast” approach between the disciplines of public administration and social work. Nonprofit management is unequivocally an interdisciplinary field with our understandings drawn from numerous disciplines, among which are public administration and social work. Our compare and contrast approach will enable us and others to begin to understand how our intellectual trajectories, the frames we employ, the very questions we ask, have an impact on the curriculum we develop and teach. This is the premise on which we base the comparative approach embraced in this piece. Knowing that myriads variables could be the foci of our work, we use four parameters in our discussion: the disciplines’ historical roots; key values; challenges in management education within the discipline; and the disciplines’ approach and response to critical perspectives in nonprofit management education (NME). It is through an understanding of how public administration and social work developed along with the key values embraced by each that we can better understand the challenges we face today. We also feel it is important to provide alternative perspectives to traditional approaches, which is why we chose to include a discussion of recent approaches to NME embracing critical understandings.","PeriodicalId":43170,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nonprofit Education and Leadership","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135482282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
