Program Overview

Overview

The Practitioner Enquiry MEd is for educators who want to engage in enquiry and research. Practitioner enquiry works with school improvement, teachers' professional development and educational innovation. There is a general pathway and a leadership pathway. The leadership pathway requires you to focus on modules and a dissertation. Course participants come from across educational phases, early years to HE. They also come from educational sectors such as:

• schools
• museums
• colleges
• universities
• educational consultancies This diversity helps create a supportive learning environment. You'll learn from each other as well as from the course leaders.

Course Details

You'll take a practical and informed approach to the 'plan, do, review' cycle. This helps you to become more reflective to develop approaches rooted in evidence. You can take any combination of modules. This allows you to create a course to suit your professional needs and interests. You'll create a dissertation from the skills and knowledge gained. Course tutors are active researchers. They all teach and supervise across a range of courses. This provides them with a wide knowledge base of the challenges of education. This is both in the UK and abroad.
