Overview
Despite the growing interest in this area, few opportunities exist in Ireland for students to study for a Master's degree where most of the credits are awarded for study and research in inquiry-based learning. The Master in Education Studies (Inquiry-Based Learning) at the Marino Institute of Education aims to rectify this.
Key Facts
The course is framed to provide clear interaction between theory and practice. A key feature of the course is to build a community of inquiry among participants, with a focus on collaborative tasks both online and face-to-face.
On successful completion of this course participants will be able to:
- Critically discuss key issues in education theory and practice, with particular but not exclusive reference to inquiry-based learning
- Explore the ideas of various thinkers in education and critically evaluate them
- Pursue study and scholarship in inquiry-based learning
- Undertake a substantial piece of academic research and present findings in written format in an appropriate scholarly manner, to a specialist or non-specialist audience as appropriate
- Identify areas of focus for future professional development as required by The Teaching Council and other bodies, acknowledging that learning is a life-long process
- Develop the skills required to become an effective researcher in education studies, with particular reference to inquiry-based learning
- Critically reflect on their experiences in education and document how this reflection informs their practice
