Course Overview

This course explores the principles of pedagogy within the particular context of Early Years provision. Starting by considering how the concept of childhood (in the UK) has been developed, it unpacks the values that we hold as early years educators and how these impact the choices that we make in our work with children.

The modules consider how we, as individuals, work in partnership with families and a wide range of professionals to produce the best outcomes for the child. The modules also consider how practice is influenced by policy. All learning is underpinned by principles of leading practice and how this can be done both effectively and ethically.

The course has a tradition of improving the career profiles of participants, as many case studies of former students demonstrate. This award is intended to prepare students to deepen their engagement with issues in the educational workspace, fostering transformative personal and organizational learning for those involved. The program additionally offers preparation to continue study for some participants wishing to go on the professional doctorate (EdD) award or to an MPhil/Ph.D.

The University maintains close links with education providers locally and regionally and meeting workforce need is the ethos of a number of modules and pathways in MA Education. In addition, the course is also designed to enable those with an intention of working in an educational context to deepen their understanding of education in a range of contexts and build the skills which will enhance their career opportunities. For example, the School of Education works with members of the Careers and Employability Service. Where appropriate, many modules have an applied focus intended to facilitate the development of learning, which will have a direct impact on the professional contexts from which participants are drawn.
