ABOUT
Introduction
The UWE EdD has been running since 2000 and has recently undergone a re-validation in order to ensure it continues to provide the most up to date teaching methods and content.
It is aimed at professionals from many areas of action – teachers from all sectors, educational administrators, policy officers, professionals involved in education in their specialist field such as nurses, paramedics, social workers, occupational therapists, community workers and others. Our goal is to better understand and improve programmes of training and education and, through this, to improve professional services and their role in a democracy.
The teaching on the EdD programme is highly interactive. It is seminar and workshop-based, and has a supportive supervision framework. The taught element (Years 1 and 2) is driven by practical research tasks. Assessment throughout is designed to put professional learning to the forefront, and to derive from this the academic standards which will allow us, eventually, to confer the award of a Doctor of Education.
Structure
Content
The programme is organised into 2 parts.
Part 1
Four taught modules of 30 credits each, giving a total of 120 credits:
- Action Research and Evaluation in Education – This module explores the methods and challenges involved when professionals engage in researching their own practice and/or context. Issues of reflexivity and ethics are particularly focused upon.
- Theoretical Perspectives on Teaching and Learning – A range of theoretical perspectives available to researchers in educational settings are discussed in this module including, as an example sociocultural theory.
- Researching Educational Policies and Professional Identities – Methodologies and methods for studying education policies and professional identities are the focus for this module.
- Advanced Preparation for Research – This module allows students to develop their skills and understanding in developing their own research proposal
Part 2
Supervised study with a Director of Studies and one or more supervisors supporting you as you engage in a piece of research resulting in a written thesis of 60,000 words.
The University continually enhances our offer by responding to feedback from our students and other stakeholders, ensuring the curriculum is kept up to date and our graduates are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need for the real world. This may result in changes to the course. If changes to your course are approved we will inform you.
