Educational Sciences
The Department of Educational Sciences consists of pre-service and in-service graduate programs in the area of curriculum and instruction. The in-service M.A. and Ph.D. programs offered in the Graduate School of Education are aimed at both new graduates and practising teachers. In these programs, we are able to include educators and teachers from all subject areas at all levels of educational institutions, from primary school to university level.
Curriculum and Instruction is regarded as one of the major areas of education. It embraces all aspects of the teaching and learning which occurs in schools, both in the formal curriculum and the wider aspects of extra-curricular activities. Curriculum and Instruction is concerned with the foundations of school practice and improvement. It includes curriculum planning and development, implementation and evaluation, methods of instruction and learning, instructional leadership, international perspectives on curricula, managing the learning environment, and assessing student learning and progress. Curriculum issues raised during the study lend themselves to critical enquiry, discussion, interpretation, and reflection.
