Education with Technology MA

The MA Education with Technology is one of the current MA Education pathways in the School of Education. Whatever educational setting you work in, or aspire to work in, our MA Education framework offers the opportunity to apply educational theory to practice and enhance your research skills.<br/><br/>Whatever educational setting you work, or aspire to work in, our MA Education with Technology will help you engage with current theoretical and research literature to develop a deep and systematic critique of key concepts, issues, developments and theories that underpin the study of the application of Education Technology within different aspects of Education.<br/><br/>There will be a particular focus throughout the course upon relating theory to research and to practice in order to understand how knowledge and understandings of education can be applied for the benefits of children, families and wider society.<br/><br/>Teaching approaches such as invited impromptu and prepared contributions from students linking the module topics to their own experience will support students in transferring the skills that they already have into the MA classroom and applying insights from the MA to their current and future work in education.<br/><br/>You’ll also develop as a specialist in your area of interest, with opportunities to build on the skills you need, alongside understanding. Your role will be to intervene, so we’ll concentrate on maximising your impact, including adopting the right strategies. We’ll help enhance your communication and inter-personal skills too.<br/><br/>Rather than sit exams, every assessment will advance the knowledge and skills you need in the field, from report writing to critical reflection and delivering presentations. This assessment work is well-supported; many of the professionals on this course returning to education find this extra help invaluable. Besides specialist tutors, you’ll benefit from guest lecturers and working alongside other MA Education students.
