Overview
The MA Education degree is intended for experienced educational professionals who are practising teachers, teacher educators, or individuals in allied professions with a significant interest in education. Students follow a core programme and choose specialist topics relevant to their own needs and interests which they are encouraged to explore through supervised qualitative enquiry.
This one-year, full-time programme consists of two taught courses and a dissertation. In the first of the two taught modules, participants will consider the principles of teacher education, and will look at the implications of 'exporting' models of education to other international contexts. The second course will introduce research methods for the study of education and then go on to provide opportunities for individual work on specialist topics. The dissertation, which is research-based, is to be completed by the end of the programme.
It is likely that this MA degree course will appeal to practising teachers, teacher educators and other educational professions. Teaching experience is desirable but applications are also welcome from those just beginning their educational careers. The intention is to allow for the diversity of interest and experience to be reflected in the differing specialist topics and dissertation foci.
Aims
The MA Education course is intended:
•to be a capacity-building programme that offers exposure to a range of experiences and ideas about teacher training and educational systems.
•to develop knowledge and understanding of international literature and the research base relevant to: teacher development, teacher education, curriculum development, educational reform, issues of educational policy and implementation.
•to offer teacher trainers access to a range of alternative methods, ideas and experiences in aspects of teacher training and educational systems.
•to develop subject knowledge within a context of models of teaching, learning and pedagogical practices.
•to enable teachers to extract examples of best practice which they will be able to use to inform the development of local needs within their own particular contexts.
•to develop understanding and experience of a range of research methodologies, techniques and skills, so that research processes and products are seen as integral to notions of professional development.
•to develop analytical and critically reflective skills.
