６５３：BUにあった！

今回、水省の組織全体のプログラム管理、特にプロジェクト設計とそれに対するM&EをOJTによって進め、最終的にマニュアルに纏めたが、こういうことをもし大学で学びたいとすればどこに行けばいいのだろうと思って調べて見た。

Program Planning, Management, Monitoring & Evaluation

という専攻がボストン大学教育学部大学院にあった。なるほどね。これは教育学なんだね。下記にプログラムの要旨を抜粋。アメリカはなんでも専門化するね。

The Program Planning, Management, Monitoring & Evaluation (P-PMME) graduate certificate program prepares individuals to engage in interrelated skills and competencies that anchor the design, delivery, oversight, and evaluation of a wide array of educational programs. Settings can be very diverse, including but not limited to:

Public and private elementary and secondary education
Higher education
Non-formal education in community agencies
Informal education in museums, parks, camps, and other recreational settings
Training in business and industry
Distance learning
Educational and entertainment media and technology
Advertising campaigns
Public health agencies
Community mental health agencies
Health and fitness centers
The criminal justice system

The certificate equips individuals with conceptual frameworks, technical skills, and supervised, project-based learning. Students are expected to come to the certificate program with one or more candidates for program evaluation in mind. Class members will consider objectives of their programs, the stake holders in each context, management and leadership skills needed to optimize program delivery, and the kinds of information and evidence that can be marshalled to monitor program delivery.

In addition, students will address conceptual models and research designs for determining program effectiveness, and systems of data collection and analysis that can be applied to gather information and inform decision making on a regular basis. Case studies and project-based learning will be employed in each course. Students will develop project plans, management designs, instruments of data collection, and evaluation proposals, as appropriate. These will be critiqued in course seminars.

面白いね。僕は土木屋だけど、随分面白い領域に入ってきたんだね。人材育成とか組織強化はもう土木屋さんではないね。そんなことを実際やっているわけだからコンサルって面白いね。

人材育成はやはり教育学の領域ですかね。新入社員のころからずっと海外からの研修生への研修講師をしていて、非常に面白かったけど、それで飯が食えるって思ってもみなかった。昔から教えることには興味あったけど、こうして教育学の一分野までに係るとは思ってもみなかった。

ですか。日本には流石にないよね。
