Challenges In My Discipline

Hello classmates and bloggers, today I am going to talk about challenges in my career, I am studying Public Management, and in my career we use frequently the TICs, in english is called Information and Communication technologies, but in our education (course structure) we have to learn to use some computer programs and some subjects that we should use, for example statistics. And this class doesn’t teach it, so it is very difficult that we work with programs such as: SPSS, E-View, among other things. In this class we learn to use other programs like Excel, but this isn’t very modern nor very efficient.

So, I believe that the challenge of this career is to incorporate more technology in our professional training. We used the technologies in other class, for example English, Methodology, and no more subjects, but in subjects from the math area even they need to add more technologies.

In our future as public managers the technology can help to resolve the social problem, and for example, the studies about the population need that the investigators, public managers and other professionals work efficiently and the technology as tools can give it agility in the process.

The politics about public management in Chile have covered this matter, for example in the last decades, the public services have experimented the called ‘modernization of the state’. It is the incorporation of technology, technocrats to better the services, the process, the timeout and no only this, also in the last years, the greater investment in technology to public schools and hospitals to better the quality of public education and health, so the technology isn’t only important for my career but for all jobs.

More technologies entail training[1], but this also teach when you are professional should be taught in the school and the university, for example this are people in the university that don’t know all things that you can do with computer program very popular such as: Word, Power Point, etc. And it success because in the school, and the university don’t have got a subject specialty dedicated for it.

Good bye!!
