课程特征Course Overview：
The MA Adult Literacy, Lifelong Learning and Development: International Perspectives is intended for those working in adult education and basic literacy, particularly in international and community development programmes. The Masters programme consists of two taught courses and a dissertation.
We welcome people working in policy, planning and evaluation roles, as well as teachers from colleges, schools and literacy progammes. Whilst we envisage that many of our students will be working in developing countries, the course is also appropriate for those working in the UK in the field of adult education and lifelong learning who are interested in developing an international perspective on their work.
Programme Structure
Students will follow a core programme around the changing concepts and approaches in the areas of adult literacy, non-formal education and lifelong learning. In parallel, students will choose specialist topics relevant to their own needs and interests which they are encouraged to explore through supervised qualitative enquiry.
Students will gain an understanding of how adult education policy and programmes relate to international development policy objectives, through policy-focused analysis of the impact of literacy on development indicators such as health, income and political participation.
This MA course will also offer the opportunity to explore the relationship between adult literacy, lifelong learning and social change, including gender relations.
Students will also be provided with an overview of contemporary understandings of adult learning, as well as approaches to adult literacy/numeracy programming (including REFLECT, functional literacy, and family literacy).
The specialist option enables students to design and report on their own professionalised learning programme of action, reflection and study.
Guidance materials, tutorials and workshops will support the creation of individual programmes of learning in an area of their own choice. Students will construct a portfolio of evidence of that learning.
Research methodology forms the core of this part of the MA programme and provides an introduction to the tools and theoretical frameworks for conducting the student's own literacy research study. The area is negotiated with programme staff to reflect students' professional needs and interests.
