About the School
The School of Education, in the Faculty of the Professions, has a history of
over 120 years of educational research and teacher education in South Australia.
The School currently offers three research degrees:
- The Master of Education requires a one-semester involvement in a research
methodology course and one other preparatory course as part of a structured program.
The last three semesters are spent completing a research thesis.
- The PhD requires one semester of a structured program in which to complete
necessary background study and prepare a formal research proposal. The thesis
must then be completed within a stipulated time frame.
- The first part of the Doctor of Education degree involves a structured program
focused on research methodology. Students then complete three research projects,
which are written up and presented for external examination as a research portfolio.
Research Areas
- Curriculum, Teaching and Learning
- Social and Cultural Context of Education
