From the Editor — Special 15th Anniversary Volume, Issue 2This volume, Volume 16, of the Journal of Public Affairs Education celebrates15 years of JPAE. As part of that celebration, each issue leads off with a reflectionfrom one of its past Editors.This second issue presents reflections by James Perry, JPAE’s secondEditor-in-Chief. He discusses the National Association of Schools of PublicAffairs and Administration’s (NASPAA’s) history with the Journal, JPAE’s role inhelping to legitimate the scholarship of teaching, and — in response to DannyBalfour’s (2010, p. 1) remembrance of initial concern about whether there wouldbe “enough submissions of acceptable quality to sustain” the Journal — hesalutes JPAE’s substance. This issue’s cover photo is of the School of Public andEnvironmental Affairs (SPEA) at Indiana University, in recognition of JPAE’shistory there with Professor Perry.Following Professor Perry’s recollections, the first four articles in this issuefit together so well that they could be a symposium, even though they weredeveloped and submitted separately. The articles by Mastracci, Newman andGuy; Barrett, Rubaii-Barrett and Pelowski; Kennedy and Malatesta; and Brudneyand Martinez are on the related topics of teaching emotional labor, teachingcivility, and teaching ethics. The second of these, by Barrett, Rubaii-Barrett,and Pelowski, is likely to be the most controversial because it argues for “swiftresponse to even minor incivilities … and a more cautious approach to admittingand embracing new students” (2010, p. 144). Whatever one’s reaction to theadvice in these four articles, certainly they all address issues of importance tothe many students who will become public and nonprofit administrators. Asa group, we should reflect on these topics and how they might fit into ourprogrammatic responsibilities and realities.The next two articles also dovetail amazingly well. Both the Broucker and theNewcomer and Allen articles are well-grounded in literature on the assessmentof program learning outcomes, as defined by knowledge transfer. Newcomer andAllen develop a logic-model-based theoretical framework for assessing programs,and Broucker both develops a model and uses interviews based in a validatedinstrument to assess two different public affairs master’s programs — onetraditional and one executive. Both articles come to the conclusion that it is theinteraction of three different elements — the student, the educational program,and the workplace organization — that determines the extent to which studentstransfer learning to the workplace. This consensus has important implications forour programs, for it means that even high-quality programs that admit unpreparedstudents or whose students work in inappropriately structured organizations willnot succeed at knowledge transfer.The article by Morçöl and Ivanova stands alone, but is no less interestingfor that. Using content analysis, it assesses the extent to which master’s andPh.D. programs in public policy favor teaching either quantitative methods oriiJournal of Public Affairs Education
From the Editor — Special 15th Anniversary Volume, Issue 2qualitative methods. Thus, it provides a revealing snapshot of the current state ofmethods education in public policy programs.Two more articles present an interesting contrast that illuminates some of thenature of the editorial task. Credit for the editorial decision to publish the articleby Ormsby and Williams, which uses an ethics course to analyze how informationliteracy skills may be integrated into existing classes, belongs to former editorsMario Rivera and Nicholas Giannatasio, who accepted the article before JPAEtransitioned to Arizona State University. The old and new shake hands here becausethis article abuts the first piece of a new section I am introducing to the Journal,called “Conversation Starters.” Ryan’s short piece on international immersionprograms launches this intermittent section with a bang, and argues passionatelyfor something that we as a field should think — and talk — about.Last, Mayo’s book review addresses a perennial topic in Public Affairseducation: How do we improve the teaching of statistics? The review ofRohrbaugh’s unconventional-textbook response to this question should proveuseful to all of us who tackle this area.As I write this at the end of March, southern Arizona’s temperatures arealready in the 80s. By the time this issue comes out, spring should be well onits way in most of the places where JPAE readers gather. May you enjoy the newseason and this new issue!— Heather E.
