Power and competence in professional education : a study of youth workers

Bradford, Simon January 1998 (has links)
This thesis explores shifting ideas of youth work, and the changing notions of professional competence that have shaped it since its emergence at the end of the last century. It begins by discussing Foucault's distinctive conception of power. This analysis is applied later in the thesis to youth work itself and to its forms of professional education and training. It is argued that modem professional practices illustrate the changing nature of disciplinary techniques in modem societies. These techniques are employed to discipline both professions themselves (by 'normalising' professional practices), and their client groups, and are also part of the contemporary problem of 'government'. Indeed, it is argued that models of professional education reflect the historically changing rationales on which British society has been organised and managed. The thesis identifies three phases of this: 'emergent welfarism', social government' or 'welfarism' and 'neo-liberalism. Drawing on a range of historical sources, a number of changing assumptions about young people in the context of youth work are identified, such as their characterisation as an inherently and naturally problematic social category. The 'discourse of adolescence' which draws on a range of knowledges about young people (from scientific to moral) is seen as providing a powerful justification for the expansion of youth work over the last hundred years or so. The youth worker's modem role in managing groups, offering counselling and acting as a 'broker' of social and moral knowledge is discussed. The progressive development of the professional education and training of youth workers since the 1930s is examined together with its curriculum content and the techniques and practices through which youth workers have been socialised into their occupational roles. After the initial tendency towards leadership training through apprenticeship, the professional model became organised on 'technical-rational' principles, with various 'techniques of the self' by which youth workers became disciplined into their professional identities (for example by 'surveillance' and 'confession'). Focus is given to the paradigmatic development and deployment of such techniques at the National College for the Training of Youth Leaders in the 1960s. The thesis concludes with an analysis of the intense criticism to which professional education and training in youth work has been subjected in the last decade, including the separation of theory and practice, unclear curricula, academic and professional elitism, and the marginalisation of learners' experience. The 'discourse of competency' is identified as being important in shaping current approaches to professional education and training in youth work. Finally, it is suggested that the emergent model of professional education is, ironically, characterised by an increasingly intense and invasive application of the techniques of disciplinary power identified earlier in the thesis. Competency practices we suggest facilitate the attempt to govern, professionals ahd professional practice. The thesis is broadly structured in four parts, and in the following way: Chapter 1 provides a broad introduction and context for the thesis. In Part One, Chapter 2 discusses Foucault's concept of power which informs the thesis. In Part Two, Chapter 3 discusses the managerial and disciplinary functions of the human service professions, providing a context for the subsequent analysis of youth work. Chapter 4 goes on to identify models of professional education in their political and social contexts and concludes with a discussion of the 'competency model'. In Part Three, Chapters 5 and 6 explore the distinctive contribution which youth work has made to the regulation and disciplining of young people. In these chapters links are made between broad political objectives and the evolving knowledge and practices of youth workers. In Part Four, Chapter 7 identifies the earliest attempts to identify and enhance competence through the training and education of youth workers. Chapter 8 explores youth work training in the 1960s and 1970s, identifying the essentially humanistic discourse which subsequently dominated youth work and the training of youth workers. In the context of political shifts beginning in the 1970s, Chapter 9 analyses the emergence of a 'discourse of competency' in youth work, and its challenge to the prevailing humanistic orthodoxy which characterised the professional education and training of youth workers. Finally, Chapter 11 draws general and particular conclusions to the thesis.

A Study on Managerial Competencies of Leaders in Multilevel Marketing Organizations

Su, I-Hua 21 June 2011 (has links)
According to the survey of Multilevel Marketing (MLM) organizations report in the year 2009 conducted by Fair Trade Commission Executive Yuan, there were 4,442,000 people participated in the MLMs in Taiwan. Based on the data published by the Ministry of Interior, the population of Taiwan in the year of 2009 was 23,119,000; therefore, on average the participation rate in Multilevel Marketing Organizations in Taiwan is about 19.21%. Due to current economic uncertainty, Multilevel Marketing Organizations are especially attractive to people of all backgrounds. This is mainly because MLMs have low start-up costs, and require only basic entry level know-how to start. Although the participation rate of MLMs in Taiwan is 19.21%, the actual active number of IBOs (independent business owners) who run direct selling business is far less than the number shown on the statistics. This research is a qualitative study using the Behavioral Events Interview method to explore the managerial competency model of leaders in Multilevel Marketing organizations which further defines and includes managerial competencies clusters, managerial competencies, and managerial competencies indicators. There are six major managerial competencies clusters and sixteen sub-competencies included in this managerial competency model. The six managerial competencies clusters are ¡§Goal and Action cluster,¡¨ ¡§Cognitive cluster,¡¨ ¡§Organization Development cluster,¡¨ ¡§Leadership cluster,¡¨ ¡§Knowledge & Skill cluster,¡¨ and ¡§Personal Traits cluster.¡¨ As for the sub-competencies, they are ¡§Achievement,¡¨ ¡§Initiative,¡¨ ¡§Action,¡¨ ¡§Analytical Thinking,¡¨ ¡§Conceptual Thinking,¡¨ ¡§Information Seeking,¡¨ ¡§Organization Awareness,¡¨ ¡§Organization Development,¡¨ ¡§Developing Others,¡¨ ¡§Team and Cooperation,¡¨ ¡§Team Leadership,¡¨ ¡§Confidence,¡¨ ¡§Communication,¡¨ ¡§ Knowledge and Skill,¡¨ ¡§Dissemination of Knowledge,¡¨ and ¡§Personal Traits.¡¨ Among these, what distinguishes the managerial competency model of the leaders in MLMs from the general managerial competency model is the ¡§Organization Development cluster.¡¨ This cluster includes four competencies, which are ¡§Organization Awareness,¡¨ ¡§Organization Development,¡¨ ¡§Developing Others,¡¨ and ¡§Team and Cooperation.¡¨ In addition ¡§Action¡¨ and ¡§Dissemination of Knowledge¡¨ are also the core competencies/characteristics that leaders in MLMs possess. This managerial competencies model for leaders in Multilevel Marketing organizations can benefit three types of people. For IBOs who just join the MLMs, this model can be an educational reference for developing their managerial competencies. For leaders in MLMs, this model can be a checklist for their work performance. For people who are from the Multilevel Marketing organizations, this model can be a source for annual training programs or a reference for publications in MLM organizations.
