This explanatory study explored what graduate programs should embrace in educating public serving professionals to become able to respond to paramount challenges unknown at the time of studies. For conceptual frameworks, the study employed (a) principal-agent theory on how predominant philanthropic organizations pushed the creation of globalized higher education industry post-World War II (WWII) and (b) world-systems theory to delineate the spatial penetration of the hegemonic intellectual core. The study found that the post-WWII’s geopolitically driven overseas engagements by US higher education institutions (HEI) orchestrated by well-resourced philanthropic giants such as Ford Foundation made a ground for what we see today: a globalized HEI industry governed by the core with the hegemonic power, termed for the study as a global higher education ecosystem. The study noted that irrespective of if the concerned HEI occupies the position in the core or not, rootedness in the place and its people is the key for public focused programs precisely because of their nature of public-ness. The study then drew three programmatic constructs as referential for late comer HEI to assume meaningful roles for the society they serve through their public serving professionals focused graduate programs: (1) contextualization of globally standardized academic contents into classroom discussions by connecting with cases/situations surrounding given society; (2) positioning the program as a post-entry milestone for public sector professionals to become better prepared state-building force by focusing on the linkage of theories and practices; and (3) HEI specific, unique intellectual identify exploration that is anchored to the place and to its own constituency. The study concluded that today’s graduate programs designed for public serving professionals could frame its objective, as a renewed purpose, to educate academically informed state-builders with the capacity to craft and perform own actions as new realities arise in front of them.

公共服务专业人士在全球高等教育生态系统中以研究生课程为重点的新目标

这项解释性研究探讨了研究生课程在教育公共服务专业人士时应该接受哪些内容,以便能够应对学习时未知的最重要挑战。对于概念框架,该研究采用 (a) 委托代理理论来说明主要慈善组织如何推动二战后全球化高等教育产业的创建,以及 (b) 世界系统理论来描述霸权的知识内核。研究发现,由福特基金会等资源丰富的慈善巨头精心策划的二战后美国高等教育机构 (HEI) 的地缘政治驱动的海外活动为我们今天所看到的奠定了基础:由核心管理的全球化高等教育产业霸权,该研究被称为全球高等教育生态系统。研究指出,无论有关高等教育机构是否处于核心地位,植根于地方及其人民正是以公共性为中心的项目的关键所在。然后,该研究绘制了三个计划结构,作为后来者 HEI 的参考,以通过其以公共服务专业人士为重点的研究生课程为他们所服务的社会承担有意义的角色:(1) 通过与周围的案例/情况联系,将全球标准化的学术内容融入课堂讨论。给定的社会;(2) 将该计划定位为公共部门专业人士入职后的里程碑,通过注重理论与实践的联系,成为更好的国家建设力量;(3) HEI 特定的、独特的知识识别探索,锚定于该地点和其自身的选区。该研究得出的结论是,今天为公共服务专业人士设计的研究生课程可以将其目标作为一个新的目标,即教育具有学术知识的国家建设者,使他们能够在新的现实出现时制定和执行自己的行动。
