Sifting through the past: a ten-year perspective on the Annual Conference on Teaching Public Administration 

<br/><br/> This paper reports the findings of a content analysis of papers published in the proceedings of the National Conference of Teaching Public Administration. The analysis examined 352 papers which were contributed over the ten-year period from 1978 to 1987. The findings are descriptive covering authorship, subject areas discussed, target audiences of the paper, and contributions to a cumulative knowledge base. One major finding was that very little has been done to build a commulative knowledge base about teaching public administration. The paper concludes with suggestions for improving the sharing of ideas in this area. Reproduced
