In the curriculum of the Public Administration there are several very interesting subjetcs. I prefer all political science subjects, but they have a deficiency. The subjects of political science are very theoric and lack the practice. This is important because, for example, we all know what historical institucionalism but we dont know how its done.
In this way, I think that teaching should be accompained by practice, that is, developing skills. But, teachers dont have the time or methodology, because they just evaluate and dont feed. Feedback is what allows for effective skills development and long-term learning. However, this requires time and personalization of teaching, something that all teachers lack (and is understood).
On the other hand, in my opinion, Its mistake that Public Administration carrer tries to cover all areas of State administration. The mportant thing is to know how to derive, according to the knowledge of political reality. But well, for a reason it will be.
Finally, as to the duration of the studies: every pregraduate career should last 4 years, but with the obligation to do a master. Thus, let the practice be distributed during pregraduate trainin and allows the development of skills from the first year.
However, all of this is not going to change until the whole system of education changes because there must be a shift in the paradigm of education. This paradigm shift should stop instructing and developing skills, for this, knowledge is confronted by reality and generates a contribution to professional areas.
