Course description
This course is aimed at teachers working in further education or higher education (post-16).
This new and exciting programme aims to develop participants’ informed and critical awareness of the impact on their educational practice of embedding the values of diversity, equality and local and global sustainability. Participants will be encouraged to develop their critical and reflective practice as educators.
The curriculum and overall approach will facilitate participants’ development of skills in accessing and critically reading research literature as well as the opportunity to acquire experience and up-to-date and in-depth knowledge of research and policy developments in the field as well as the research paradigms and methods used.
Participants will be encouraged to actively link their learning to their practice environments to develop the complex understanding and skills required for influencing change in policy and practice. Assessment will draw on work-based learning in order to effectively integrate theory with practice. Those progressing to the dissertation will demonstrate this via a focused research study of their own choice at Masters level.
As well as the opportunity to achieve a recognised transferable qualification contemporary with educational developments, you can take the units as ‘stand-alone’ for continuing professional development purposes.
It is envisaged that course participants would complete one or two units per semester which offers flexibility according to learners’ circumstances.
The MA would form an excellent route for those wishing to study on LSBU’s Doctorate in Education (EdD) programme which also has a particular focus on equality, diversity and sustainability.
Career opportunities
The PgDip/MA Learning and Teaching in Post-Compulsory Education offers the opportunity for people working in the post-compulsory education sector, who have already achieved the PgCert in Higher Education or FE equivalent, to progress within their professional roles and is designed to encourage potential for research and continuing professional development.
Typical background of applicant
