Program Outline

The Master of Education (Science and Technology) and related Graduate Certificate Program are professionally oriented programs, intended for people currently employed in education who have an interest in extending their knowledge and practice in the area of Science and Technology in Education.

These programs are unique and innovative as they provide a trans-disciplinary approach to education, in addition to infusing technology into the science curricula. The programs focus on scholarly investigation, including strengthening the teaching-learning-research nexus, mentoring, and supervised practical experiences. Course activities and learning experiences seek to enhance critical and innovative thinking and facilitate the communication of ideas.
Program Structure

Courses in the programs are built on academic study in Science/Mathematics and Technology in Education, to form a basis for critical evaluation of research and developments in these fields. The courses also provide opportunities to learn about underlying theories and practical strategies to enhance learning, teaching and management through the use and infusion of technology in science/mathematics education.

This coursework is followed by research consisting of either two supervised self-directed projects, or a research thesis. Not all elective courses will be offered each year.
