Teacher's Note

if you were about to redefine development administration, how it would be? what rational of the definition?
from what we can understand, development administration is a field of study that include the element in development administration which are substantive, managerial, political and social as a tool in order to ensure our administration run smoothly and efficiently. also, it is a tool and action taken by the government to enforce the country development palns and programs or projects encompasess political, social, economy aspects exclusively to enhance the administration performance and reach national development objective. this is because, it can make our administration more systematic and stable because practices the entire elements and believe all the elements have their own benefits that will effect our administration system.

This isn’t a definition!
A definition should explain a concept or ideas, and where's your main idea of DA?

But, all I can get here is just a combination of MY EXPLANATION in class in your own words [and, there were so many spelling mistakes! Deduction for that].

Human and social dimension of development.
Human development can be viewed as the process of achieving an optimum level of health, and well-being. it includes physical, biological, mental, emotional, social, educational, economic, and other components as well. social development is a process which results in the transformation of social structures in a manner which improves the capacity of the society to fulfill its aspirations. for example, the policy of using english in the subjects of mathematic and science in Malaysia which has started few years ago has shown us that there is development in education in which the students are now more exposed to the english language and not only to malay language.

Oversimplified explanation. The dimension wasn’t operationalized. In fact, the examples also similar with what we had discussed in class. [Capitalizing use mistakes – deduction.]

economic development
it refers to a sustainable increase in quality of life. it implies increase per capital income, better education and health as well as environmental protection. the economic development process supposes that legal and institutional adjustment are made to give incentives for innovation and for investment so as to develop an efficient production and distribution system for goods and services. in this aspect, the economists help policymakers formulate their development programs in ways consistent with the economic goals of the people and with their social and political system.

Only the last 2 sentences reflecting the relationship between DA and economic development (and, yes there were very good point!).

The rest? I’m not sure.

political development
the expansion and centralization of governmental power, the differentiation and specialisation of functions, the identification of the populace with the political system, and their increased involvement in government.also, the larger numbers of people have been led into greater political awareness and have had more opportunity to participate. yet, there are those who maintain that this increase participation is more apparent than real

If the voting pattern becomes the only example, how you justify the whole explanation about the expansion and centralization of governmental power?

Plus, is this really your ideas? Sorry, but I doubted it. So, if this is a borrowed idea, please give due credit to the sources. But, if it yours, it is really good then.

public administration development
public administration plays role as a mediator for private groups and individual to deliver services to the society. it is also an organization and it is management of people and materials to achieve government objective.it is also to provide efficient, pro-active and capable of meeting and the demands of the time as well as adjusting and itself for changes and reforms of the future. to boost up the administrative skills
within the administrator, the government establish the INTAN (Institusi Pentadbiran Negara) and MAMPU(Malaysian Administrative Modernization Unit). MAMPU is for the modernize goverment administration system, meanwhile the INTAN is providing training for the government services.

We’re not talking about the role of PA and DA separately. Of course PA may serves as mediator between people and the government (but for private group and people?, what are you trying to say?), but in overall pictures, it doesn’t shows the real relationship between two.
I think, this is where you should include political element of DA in relation to all government’s institutions mentioned. You have a good point, but you failed to explain them clearly.

3-What is political administration dichotomy?
A politics-administration dichotomy is an administration that can be apolitical. No administration has ever been formed that has ever come close to being apolitical. Politics is what a government does and administration is how it does it. "What do I do?" and "How do I do it?" are related questions no matter what field your in. Politics-administration dichotomy not only cannot be sustained, it cannot be initiated.

Doesn’t sound yours …. And doesn’t reflect your understanding.




My end note:
Dear students,

As I repeatedly said, please don’t impress me with all bombastic words and out-the-world ideas since I think I’m all aware about your capability (don’t’ regards this as belittling yourself though). It is ok to come out with simple words but excellent explanation. The simple the explanation, the better.

I do appreciate your own ideas, no matter how bad you think it is more than you giving me all sophisticated concept whatsoever (which sometimes you don’t even know what does it means).

Remember, they way you present your ideas actually will become the major factors of the whole assessment. I’m not looking for a crap work which presented for the sake of assignment, but more than that. But, if you think that’s all the best you can give, then, be happy with what you’ll get.

Good luck and have a nice day.
