课程特征 Course Features
This is an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) recognised programme designed for education professionals who want to develop their research knowledge and skills. It aims to provide students with the analytical and practical expertise required for educational research. The programme will appeal to applicants from a diversity of backgrounds who are interested in developing a career in educational research and professionals working in Education institutions and organisations requiring expertise in research.
The programme covers a wide variety of introductory and advanced level courses on both quantitative and qualitative research methods as well as courses that address philosophical issues in relation to social science research, with specific reference to education.
Educational research is a highly contested and varied field and students must be able to situate themselves in relation to important methodological debates. The programme, therefore, offers a wide variety of perspectives and approaches that students can engage with and utilise in their own research projects.
The programme aims to provide:
•an understanding of the philosophical underpinnings of educational research
•a broad grounding in the development of skills and knowledge of the wide variety of both quantitative and qualitative approaches and methods within educational research
•a practical understanding of how established techniques of research and enquiry are used to create and interpret knowledge within education in order to develop skills to critically evaluate research within education
