Comparison of Two Sets of Learning Objectives for an Introductory Course to Homeland Security and Emergency Management Paula D. Gordon, Ph.D. Instructor: Auburn University Center for Governmental Services A Presentation Given at the FEMA Higher Education Conference, Emmitsburg, Maryland, June 6, 2012

Two Sets of Learning Objectives One set of learning objectives are taken from the introduction to Foundations of Homeland Security, Law and Policy (Alperen, 2011). The other set of learning objectives are taken from courses being offered as a part of Auburn University’s Center of Governmental Services’ Certificate Program in Emergency Management (Gordon, 2012).

The Nature of the Differences Each set of learning objectives reflects somewhat differing underlying assumptions, values, and definitions of the fields of homeland security and emergency management. These differences will be noted and their implications for the content of an introductory course will be discussed.

M. Alperen Set of Learning Objectives Know the threat terrorism presents Put terrorism in perspective Develop a conceptual understanding of homeland security law and policy Selected from the introduction to Foundations of Homeland Security, Law and Policy (Alperen, 2011)

M. Alperen Set of Learning Objectives (Continued) Recognize that resiliency, our ability to return to normal after a disaster, catastrophic accident, or terrorist attack, depends both on us as individuals and on our infrastructure. Recognize that a significant portion of our Nation’s infrastructure is in need of repair. Selected from the introduction to Foundations of Homeland Security, Law and Policy (Alperen, 2011)

P. D. Gordon Learning Objectives Recognize the threat that terrorism poses for the nation and the future of civilization. Develop a conceptual understanding of the need for an integrated all-hazards approach to homeland security and emergency management

P. D. Gordon Learning Objectives (Continued) Recognize the need to be proactive in creating disaster resilient communities and regions, and a disaster resilient nation.

Alperen and Gordon Learning Objectives Compared Know the threat terrorism presents and Put terrorism in perspective [Alperen] Recognize the threat that terrorism poses for the future of the nation and the future of civilization [Gordon]

Alperen and Gordon Learning Objectives Compared (Continued) Develop a conceptual understanding of homeland security law and policy. [Alperen] Develop a conceptual understanding of the need for an integrated all-hazards approach to homeland security and emergency management [Gordon]

Alperen and Gordon Learning Objectives Compared (Continued) Recognize that resiliency, our ability to return to normal after a disaster, catastrophic accident, or terrorist attack, depends both on us as individuals and on our infrastructure and Recognize that a significant portion of our Nation’s infrastructure is in need of repair. [Alperen] Recognize the need to be proactive in creating disaster resilient communities and regions and a disaster resilient nation. [Gordon]

A Typology of Emergencies of Differing Levels of Severity A typology that is pertinent to an all-hazards approach to emergency management as well as to a natural hazards approach to emergency management A typology that helps clarify the differences in impacts of emergencies of differing levels of severity and the implications of those differences for the emergency management cycle
