英国教育硕士论文指导专业学位教育:现状、特色与经验
摘要:从学位设置、培养目标、入学标准与考核方式、专业方向、培养方式、课程设置、毕业论文、指导教师等方面,介绍了英国的
教育硕士专业学位教育的现状并分析了其特色与经验,对改善我国的教育硕士专业学位教育具有一定的启示意义。
关键词:专业学位教育;教育硕士:英国
一、英国教育硕士专业学位教育的现状
(一)教育硕士学位在英国学位体系中的地位
英国的学位体系分为学士、硕士和博士三个层次。教育硕士是硕士教育中的一个特殊部分。
根据培养目标和培养过程等方面的差异。英国的硕士分为研究硕士(Master by Research)和课程硕士(Master by Taught)两大类。前
者通过科学研究获得学位,目的是培养高级科研人才;后者主要通过课程学习完成学业,重视实践能力的培养。在英国,各高校内部的学
位分类体系、学位授予类型和研究生培养方式不尽相同。但一般而言。哲学硕士(M.Phil.和社会/教育研究硕士(M.Res.)属于研究硕
士;理学硕士(M.Sc.)和文学硕士(M.A.)介于研究硕士和课程硕士之间,但偏向于研究硕士;教育硕士(M.Ed.)属于课程硕士.以修
习课程学分为主。很多高等院校的教育学院都颁发教育硕士学位.同时也颁发哲学硕士或理学硕十学位。
根据修业年限、学分要求和难易程度等方面的区别,英国的硕士研究生教育分为三个递进的级别:研究生证书(Postgraduate
Certificate。PgCert)、研究生文凭(Postgraduate Diploma,PgDip)和硕士学位。在学分要求上,研究生证书相当于硕士学位的l/3,研
究生文凭相当于硕士学位的213。在英国的高校中,培养教育硕士的院系和专业一般都设有研究生证书和研究生文凭。或者属于独立的培养
项目。或者作为阶段性学习的证明发给中断学习的学生。
从层次上说,英国的教育硕士高于研究生证书和研究生文凭,低于哲学博士(Ph.D.)和教育博士(Ed.D.),获得教育硕士学位后可以
攻读博士学位(Ph.D.)或(Ed.D.)。从类别上说,教育硕士是针对在职的从教人员设置的学位,在入学条件、培养方式、培养目标等方
面的特殊性又使其区别于教育领域的理学硕士和哲学硕士。
(二)培养目标
在英国。教育硕士属于教师(以及其他教育人员)专业发展的一部分,其招生对象主要是在职的教育工作者。如,纽卡斯尔大学就明确
地将其教育硕士项目的服务对象定位于教师、学校的领导者、学校的中层管理人员、教育顾问、教育行政官员等。因而。
为教师或其他教育人员提供专业发展的机会就成为教育硕士专业学位教育的基本追求。然而,由于培养教育硕士的各高校既要立足于
当地需求。又要结合其实力与特点追求自身的特色.因而在培养目标上存在着一定的区别。例如,剑桥大学在教育硕士培养中明显侧重于
对教育科研意识和能力的培养,通过学习使学习者:①获得教学、学习、管理等方面的相关知识,并能够深入地理解。②能够运用学术研
究的方法分析教育实践和教育问题。③掌握常用的教育研究方法.能够辨别教育研究成果的价值。④能够批判性地阅读教育研究文献。⑤
具备阐述教育科研成果所需的实践能力、组织能力和演讲能力。⑥能够理解学习对其专业发展、工作实践和个人目标的意义闭。纽卡斯尔
大学的教育硕士培养以促进学生的专业发展为核心.重视提高学生的专业素质以及与此相关的多方面素质,其培养目标所涉及的内容尤其
广泛。具体包括:①通过具有激发性和挑战性的学习经历,促进学生个人、专业和学术方面的发展。②通过提高学生的专业素质。使学生
能够从教育理论与观念演变的视角、时代的视角和国际的视角解释、分析教育以及相关领域中的问题。③使学生能将教育理论应用于教育
实践和教育研究之中,通过研究提高其专业水平。④使学生能选择最恰当的方法和框架分析教育问题。开展研究。找出解决问题的办
法。⑤提高学生在个人发展以及专业发展中所需的学习能力、专业能力和人际沟通能力。
显而易见,虽然各高校的教育硕士培养目标有所差别,但更存在着许多一般性的追求。因而。从整体上说,可以将英国教育硕士的培
养目标概括为:通过学位攻读过程的学习与训练.拓展学生的视野.提高学生的教育理论水平,引导他们将教育理论与工作实践相结合,
培养他们分析教育问题的能力和独立从事科研的能力。最终提升他们的专业素质以及教育、教学与管理的水平。英国教育硕士的培养目标
兼顾理论、实践、科研等多个方面,但与研究硕士和教育博士的培养目标相比较.教育硕士更偏重于学习者教育实践能力的提高,具有明
显的实践性、应用性和职业性。
(三)入学标准与考核方式
在英国,教育硕士入学资格考核时不采取统一考试的方式。为了确定申请者是否具有攻读教育硕士学位的兴趣与潜力.招生单位要求
申请者提交报名与审核材料,一般包括工作经历证明、受教育经历证明和推荐信。部分院校会在材料审核后组织面试。英国教育硕士的入
学标准主要集中于以下两个方面。
1.对申请者受教育经历的要求
尽管各大学的具体要求不同.但总体而言,具有荣誉学士学位是申请攻读教育硕士学位的必要条件。格拉斯哥大学等部分高校甚至要
求申请者提供一级荣誉学位,这就为教育硕士设置了相当高的入学门槛;也有个别学校规定,如果申请者的作经历达到所要求的标准。即
使没有荣誉学位也可以破格入学。此外,某些专业也对申请者的受教育经历有着特殊的要求。如,在伯明翰大学,虽然具有普通学士学位就
可以申请攻读教育硕士学位。但双语教育专业则要求一级荣誉学位。而自闭症治疗专业更需要申请者具有至少两年的相关专业的研究生学
习经历。
2.对申请者工作经历的要求
英国的教育硕士主要是针对在职的教师和教育管理人员设置的学位。因而职业资格和工作经历就成为教育硕士入学资格考核的重要内
容。多数学校规定,申请者必须具备2年以上的工作经历,也有学校规定为1年。不具备职业资格的申请者只能攻读教育领域的其他硕士学
位,而不能攻读教育硕士学位。例如,格拉斯哥大学的教育学院同时颁发理学硕士(M.Sc.)和教育硕士(M.Ed.)两种硕士学位。只有具
有教师资格和从教经历的学生可以攻读教育硕士学位,而理学硕士学位对教师资格并无要求。
(四)专业方向
由于英国的教育硕士培养由高校的教育学院负责,因而在专业方向设置上都以各教育学院原有的专业为基础。总体而言,各院校的教
育硕士专业设置灵活多样,没有统一的标准,但基本可以概括为以下几类:教育研究、教育管理、教学与学习、特殊教育、心理学等。例
如,格拉斯哥大学教育学院的教育硕士分为3个专业:教育研究、全纳教育、英语教学。埃克塞特大学也开设了3个专业:创造性艺术、特
殊教育需要、对外英语教育。纽卡斯尔大学设置了教育领导与管理、全纳教育、教育与信息技术、国际发展与教育、心理学与学习等5个专
业。布里斯托尔大学除了设置教育与咨询、教育管理-政策发展、全纳教育特殊教育、数学教育、教育心理学等6个方向之外,还设有个人
设计方案(Individually Constructed Programme)。学生可以不按照既有的6个方向及其安排的课程方案攻读学位,允许学生根据自己的需
要和相关的规定选择所要学习的课程。
(五)培养方式
在培养方式上。英国的教育硕士具有全日制、部分时间制和远程教育三种。在教育硕士的基本学制上,大部分院校规定,全日制为1
年,部分时间制为3年。其中。格拉斯哥大学的教育硕士基本为部分时间制,学习12年,最长不得超过5年,个别专业要求全日制脱产学
习,学制1年。相比之下,伯明翰大学和阿伯丁大学等高校的教育硕士培养方式则比较灵活,分为全日制、部分时间制。部分专业可以通过
远稃网络进行学习。在剑桥大学,教育硕士全部为部分时间制。这是教育硕十区别于哲学硕士的一个根本特征。剑桥大学教育学院培养哲
学硕十和教育硕士两种硕士研究生,二者在学习内容、考核标准等方面是一致的。其中,全日制学习者学习1年,获哲学硕士学位:部分时
间制学习2年。每周集中授课一次一般为14:00~19:00),毕业时被授予教育硕士学位。然而,在纽卡斯尔大学等英国大多数高校中,教
育硕士与其他硕士在学制上并没有明显的差别。
(六)课程设置
英国的教育硕士属于课程硕士。以课程学习为主,必须完成规定的学分才能获得学位。根据学分标准。英国教育硕士的课程级别为11
级。获得教育硕士学位需要180学分,修习一门课程可获得15学分。#p#分页标题#e#
1.课程的阶段性
在英国。大部分学校都在开展研究生证书、研究生文凭教育的基础上培养教育硕士。因而,教育硕士的课程具有明显的阶段性。学生
完成某阶段课程的学习.就可以获得相应的证书或文凭。例如,在阿伯丁大学的教育硕士培养中。修习4个课程模块可以获得研究生证书,
修习8个课程模块可以获得研究生文凭,修习12个课程模块可以获得教育硕士学位。
格拉斯哥大学规定。修习60个学分后停止攻读,可以获得研究生证书:修习120个学分后中断学习,可以得到研究生文凭。
2.课程的结构
在英国,教育硕士的课程一般分为必修和选修两个部分。有些学校又将必修课分为共同核心课(所有专业方向共同的必修课)和专业核
心课(为本专业学生开设的必修课)。除毕业论文外,课程学习需要获得120学分,其中选修课约占15~30学分。虽然选修课和专业核心课由
于专业的差异而区别甚大,但多数学校都把教育科研能力的培养作为共同核心课的重要部分。如,纽卡斯尔大学要求所有攻读教育硕士学
位的学生都要修习研究设计与方法课;格拉斯哥大学把教育研究理论和当代教育问题论坛作为教育学院所有硕士研究生的共同核心课;阿
伯丁大学将教育科研方法课和毕业论文联系起来,作为教育硕士的必修环节。
格拉斯哥大学的教育硕士专业学位教育在苏格兰和英格兰久负盛名,其课程结构较为清晰,具有一定代表性。格拉斯哥大学教育硕士
的各专业需学习8门课程,分为专业核心课、专业选修课、共同核心课3个部分。根据规定,要获得教育硕士学位,所修课程的平均成绩不
得低于C,成绩为E的课程不得超过总数的25%,每个学生可以获得一次重修机会。
(七)毕业论文
英国的教育硕士研究生需要撰写、提交论文或毕业设计,否则无法获得学位。毕业论文的选题要联系攻读者本人的工作实践。并着力
解决实践问题。毕业论文一般要求15000~20000字,完成后可获得60学分。相当于修习4门课程。在多数学校中.课程学习和毕业论文是相
对独立的两个环节。然而。也有部分学校开始尝试着将二者结合起来。因而.当前英国教育硕士的毕业论文环节具有两种形式。
1.沦文同课程分离
在纽卡斯尔大学、格拉斯哥大学等院校,学生在课程学习结束后进入论文环节。在论文写作期间,学校不再开设任何课程。学生展开
独立的研究,并与指导教师定期进行一对一的交流。指导教师要对学生的论文选题、研究方法的选择和写作过程进行指导。
2.论文与课程结合
在另一些学校.学生的教育科研方法训练过程、毕业论文写作过程被整合到课程学习之中。学校将毕业论文写作设置为一门课程。如
阿伯丁大学,在必修与选修的5门课程外,学校开设课程六:毕业论文或毕业项目。该课紧紧围绕着学生毕业论文写作的需求和程序组织课
程内容,其内容包括文献的检索与综述、研究问题与研究目标的提出、研究方案的设计、方法的选择、数据收集与整理、写作与发表等。
在课程结束后.学生提交该课的课程作业,同时也完成了学位论文或毕业项目。
(八)指导教师
在英国,教育硕士的指导教师一般由所攻读院系的学术研究人员担任。根据指导教师的责任与分工情况,学生的指导方式可以概括为
两种形式:
1.单一导师形式
例如,在剑桥大学,学生入学后,该校教育学院的管理人员就指定教育学院的一名科研人员担任该学生的指导教师。指导教师要监
督、指导学生的课程学习过程。也负责学生毕业论文的指导,并教授某些课程。
2.双导师形式例如,在格拉斯哥大学。每个教育硕士配备两个指导教师:①课程指导教师。学生入学后,教育学院为每个学生指派一
名指导教师,负责在选课、上课、作业等方面提供指导。②论文指导教师。课程结束后。教育学院根据学生提交的论文选题和研究设计情
况为学生指派论文指导教师。
二、英国教育硕士学位教育的特色与经验
英国的教育硕士专业学位教育的体系比较完整,其特色与发展经验具有一定的启示意义和参考价值。
(一)着眼于需求和质量,避免盲目发展
教育硕士学位是20世纪90年代前后出现的一种新学位。在设置之初,人们对于这种学位是否会导致学位的泛滥和贬值不无担忧。而
且。在一些国家,由于在教育硕士学位教育体系尚未健全和完善之前就急于扩大教育硕士的规模。的确出现了数量与质量严重脱节的问
题。比较而言。在发展规模与速度上,英国教育硕士专业学位教育以社会需求为导向。
同时力求保证教育质量。因而其发展显得尤为谨慎。
以剑桥大学为例,剑桥大学在教育硕士培养中。
对质量的要求相当严格。在剑桥大学的教育学院.教育硕士的考核标准、论文要求与哲学硕士(M.Phil.)基本相同。此外,剑桥大学
一方面同英国的其他高校一样把教育硕士作为课程硕士培养。另一方面却尝试着以培养研究硕士的方式培养教育硕士。显而易见,剑桥大
学并没有因为教育硕士教育属于专业学位教育而在质量要求上有所放松。相比之下,剑桥大学对教育硕士的数量与规模并不强调。
1995年,剑桥大学首次授予教育硕士学位35人。在1995~2005年间,每年授予教育硕士学位的数量最高为57人(1996年),最低为25
人(2001年),平均每年授予44.6人,增长不快,人数不多。同一时期,剑桥大学的哲学硕士学位的发展比较稳定,1995~2005年增长了
1.6倍。然而,同样是专业学位教育的MBA教育在这一时期内的发展则显得尤其迅速,从1995年的18人增长到2005年的105人。
增长了近4倍。同哲学硕士教育和MBA教育的发展相比。剑桥大学的教育硕士专业学位教育的发展稍显迟缓。这与很多国家教育硕士规
模迅速扩大的情况形成了鲜明的对比。但这正说明,英国教育硕士专业学位教育的发展并不以追求数量规模和增长速度为目标,质量和社
会需求才是剑桥大学教育硕士发展的尺度。
(二)具有完整的学位体系和培养机制
英国的教育硕士专业学位教育起步较早,形成了比较完善的学位体系和培养机制,具体体现在以下两个方面:
1.教育硕士学位在英国学位系统中的定位
明确从横向上说。在英国,教育硕士专业学位教育主要是培养教育领域的应用型人才。提高在职教育工作者的实践能力。这种明确的
定位使它与研究硕士区分开来,也与教育领域中的M.A Msc.等偏重研究的学位区分开来。从纵向上说,教育硕士学位下有研究生证书和研
究生文凭两个层级。上通博士学位。这种上下衔接的体系。一方面为那些不能直接攻读教育硕士学位的教育从业人员提供了过渡阶段,另
一方面也为部分教师提供了进一步深造与学习的机会。
2.在教育硕士培养过程的各个环节形成了完整的机制
英国教育硕士的招生对象是在职的教育作者。在入学资格审核时,工作经历和学习经历是重点的审核内容并具有严格的要求。从而保
证了攻读教育硕士研究生所需的基本素质和发展潜力。英国教育硕士的专业设置不一而足。为攻读者提供了广泛的选择空间。课程设置以
培养实践能力、科研能力为指向。由必修课和选修课构成的课程结构有利于为学生保留必要的自主性。教育硕士的毕业论文在选题上要求
联系攻读者的丁作实践,力求解决实践问题。个别学校还将毕业论文与课程结合起来,既保证了教育硕士毕业论文的质量,也有利于学生
科研能力的培养。
(三)在培养中追求多样性,避免趋同
多样性是教育硕士培养的一个基本要求,也是英国教育硕士专业学位教育的一个重要特征。在英国.尽管不是所有的高校都具有教育
硕士学位的授予权。但教育硕士培养机构的数量仍然可观。加之英国分权制的教育行政体制赋予高校相当大的自主权,这就使教育硕士培
养走向多样具备了前提条件。
不但设有教育硕士培养项目的学校多,而教育硕士培养项目的种类也多。英国教育硕士的专业方向多种多样,没有统一的模式。既有
教学、管理方面的专业方向以满足一般需求.也有针对特殊需求而没置的艺术、教育咨询、教育技术、特殊教育等相关专业。在教育硕士
的培养目标上。各高校从当地的需求和自身的优势出发,各具特色。剑桥大学重视提高教育硕士研究生的科研能力;格拉斯哥大学明确提
出要培养在职教师的反思能力,具有明显的实践性:纽卡斯尔大学强调提高学生以专业素质为核心的综合素质,如专业能力、学习能力甚
至人际沟通的能力。
尽管英国的教育硕士专业学位教育具有明显的特色和可供借鉴的经验。但也存在着一些不可忽视的问题。在教育硕士培养中,理想的#p#分页标题#e#
师资配置应该是理论研究者与教育实践领域的专家相结合。在英国,无论是课程环节还是沦文环节。教育硕士学位攻读者的培养完全由高
等院校教育学院的教师负责,忽视实践领域专家的参与。在这种情况下,即便教育硕士的培养强调提高学习者的实践能力,其效果必然受
到影响。其次,学生在指导教师的选择上缺少自主性。在剑桥大学、格拉斯哥大学等高校中,教育硕士的指导教师由学院的管理人员负责
指派,忽视了学生与导师之间的双向选择。这对于学生获得有效的指导是不利的。

British education for the master degree education: the status quo, characteristics and experience

Abstract: from the degree, the training goal, set admission standards and evaluation methods, professional direction, training method, curriculum setting, graduate thesis, teachers, etc., this paper introduces the British

Education for the master degree of education present situation and analyzes its characteristics and experience, and to improve our education of master degree of education has the certain enlightenment significance.

Keywords: professional degree education; Education master: Britain

A UK education, master degree of education of the status quo

(a) a master's degree in education in Britain degree system in the position

Britain's degree system is divided into a bachelor's, master's and doctoral 3 administrative levels. Education is a master of the master of education a special parts.

According to the students' training objectives and the difference of process, etc. British Master is divided into Research the Master (Master by Research) and course ma (Master by Taught) two kinds big. before

Through the scientific research get a degree, purpose is to develop advanced scientific research personnel; The latter is mainly through the course to finish school, put emphasis on practical ability of the students. In Britain, the colleges and universities study

A classification system, degree awarding of graduate student training types and different ways. But in general. Master of philosophy (M.P hil. And social/education research the master (M.R es.) belong to the collection of the study

Then the; The MSC (M.S c.) and master of literature (M.A.) between master and course study between the master, but prefer to study master; Education master (M.E d.) belong to master of course. To fix

Courses mainly credits. Many institutions of higher learning education college were from a master's degree in education. At the same time also offers master of philosophy or collection of the neo-confucianism ten degrees.

According to the length of schooling, credit requirements and ease the difference in such aspects, the master graduate student of English education is divided into three levels of progression of graduate students (Postgraduate certificate

Certificate. PgCert), graduate Diploma (Postgraduate Diploma, PgDip) and a master's degree. In the credit requirements, graduate certificate is equivalent to a master's degree in l / 3, study

Graduate students equivalent of 213 master's degree diploma. In Britain the colleges and universities, the master of education training schools and departments and professional is set commonly graduate certificate and graduate student degree. Or to the cultivation of the independent

Project. Or as a stage of learning to stop learning students proof.

From level, the British education master's graduate students and graduate diploma certificate above, below the doctor of philosophy (Ph. D.) and education Ph.D. (Ed. D.), get a master's degree in education can be

The Ph.D. Degree (Ph. D.) or (Ed. D.). From the category, the education is the master for educators set of on-the-job degree, in the admission requirements, cultivating mode, the training goal of party

The particularity and make it different from education field MSC and master of philosophy.

(2) the training goal

In Britain. Education master belong to teachers and other education personnel) part of the professional development, the recruit students object basically is the education of on-the-job worker. Such as, Newcastle university is clear

The education of the master's programs the service target location to the teachers, the school leader, and the school middle managers, education adviser, education administration officials. Thus.

For teachers and other education personnel to provide professional development opportunities will become education for the master degree of basic education pursuit. However, due to the master of education training various universities not only stand up in

Local needs. And in combination with the characteristics of the strength and pursuing his own characteristics. So the training goal there was some differences. For example, Cambridge university in education master program focuses on the obvious

Education of scientific research consciousness and ability training and learning through make learners: (1) get teaching, learning, management, the relevant knowledge, and to further understanding. (2) able to apply academic research

Investigate method to analyze the education practice and education problem. (3) the education research methods used to. Can distinguish the value of education research results. (4) to critically read education research literature. (5)

Have the education scientific research achievements of paper needed to practice ability, and ability of organization and speaking skills. 6 can understand their professional development, to study the work practice and personal goal meaning shut. Newcastle

University education master program to promote the students' professional development is the core. Pay attention to improve the students' professional quality and the related aspects of quality, the training goal involved the content especially

Extensive. Specific include: (1) through has the motivational and challenging learning experiences, promote the students' personal, professional and academic aspects of development. (2) improve the students' professional quality through. Make students

From education theories and ideas to the perspective of evolution, from the point of view of the perspective of age and education and related explain, analysis the problems of field. (3) make the student to be able to education theory is applied in education

Practice and education research in, through the research to improve their professional level. (4) so that the students can select the most appropriate method and the frame analysis education problem. Research. Find out the solution to the problem of do

Method. (5) in personal development and to improve the students' professional development of the learning ability, professional ability and interpersonal communication ability.

Obviously, although each college education of the master training target has a difference, but there are many more general pursuit. Thus. On the whole British education can be the master of culture

A goal generalized: through the degree of the process of a learning and training. Develop student's field of vision. Improve the students' education theoretical level, they will guide education theory and practice, and the combination of

Cultivate their education problem analysis ability and the ability of independent work in scientific research. Finally enhance their professional quality and education, teaching and management level. British education master the goal of training

Both the theory and practice, scientific research, etc, but and research and education master the training goal of dr compared. Education master's more stress to the learners education practice of the ability, has the bright

The significant practicality, application and professional.

(3) admission standards and evaluation method

In Britain, the education master's qualification for entrance examination not take unified exam when the way. In order to determine whether the applicant has a master's degree in education of the interests and potential. Recruit students unit requirements

The applicant submit registration and examination materials, generally includes work experience proved by education experience demonstrates, and recommendation letter. Part of the colleges in material audit organization will after the interview. The master of education in Britain

Learn standard mainly focus on the following two aspects.

1. To the applicant by education experience requirements

Although the university to the specific requirements of different. But overall, with a bachelor's degree is an honor for study for a master's degree in education the necessary condition. The part such as Glasgow university college or even

For applicants to level 1 honorary degrees, and this is the education master's set up high the entrance requirements; Also have individual school rules, if the applicant's experience as the standard required. namely

Make no honorary degree also can abnormality entrance. In addition, some major also to the applicant by the education experience has the special requirements. Be like, in Birmingham university, albeit with a bachelor's degree in common

Can apply for to study for a master's degree in education. But bilingual education professional requires level 1 an honorary degree. And autism treatment need more applicants have professional at least two years of related professional postgraduate study

Learning experience.

2. Work experience requirements to the applicant

British education master is mainly for the teachers and education management on-the-job personnel set degree. So professional qualification and experience will become education master's admission examination within the important

Let. Most of the regulation of the school, the applicant must have 2 years working experience, also have the school rules for 1 year. Does not have the professional qualification for education in the field of candidates could only other master's#p#分页标题#e#

A, and can't study for a master's degree in education. For example, of the university of Glasgow education institute also awarded a master of science (M.S c.) and education master (M.E d.) two master's degree. Only a

The teacher qualification and experience of teaching students can pursue a master's degree in education, and a master of science degree in teachers' qualification and no requirement.

(4) professional direction

Because the British education of college education by the master training institute is responsible, thus in the professional direction on education in the setting of the original basis of professional college. Overall, the various institutions of teaching

Yukon master major setting agile diversity, does not have uniform standard, but the basic can be summarized as of the following categories: education research, education management, teaching and learning, and special education, psychology, etc. An example

Such as, Glasgow university education college education master is divided into three major: education inclusive education, research, English teaching. Exeter university offers three professional: creative art, special

Special education needs, foreign English education. Newcastle university set education leadership and management, education, education and inclusive information technology, the international development and education, psychology and study only five

Industry. Bristol university education and consultation, in addition to set education management-policy development inclusive education, special education, math education, education psychology six direction, but also be individual

Design scheme (Individually Constructed Programme). Students can not according to the existing six direction and arrangement of the curriculum plan assiduously study degree, allow students according to their own needs

And the provisions of the relevant to choose to study of the course.

(5) cultivation mode

In training on the way. British education master has full-time, part-time and distance education 3 kinds. In the education of the basic system master, most colleges and universities regulation, full-time to 1

Years, part-time for 3 years. Among them. Glasgow university education master basic for part of the time, system of learning for 12 years, the longest must not exceed 5 years, individual professional requirement full-time off-job learn

Xi, eductional systme 1 year. In contrast, Birmingham university and Aberdeen university education master program the way is more flexible, divided into full-time, part-time. Part of the professional can pass

Far palea network for learning. At Cambridge university, master of education for all part-time. This is a collection of the ten different from education master of philosophy of a fundamental characteristics. Cambridge university education college training philosophy

Learn ten and education master collection of the two kinds of master graduate student, both in the study contents, the assessment standards, etc are consistent. Among them, the full-time learners' learning 1 year, master's degree in philosophy: the part

The study between two years. Weekly centralism teaching a general for 2 ~ 7), graduation was awarded a master's degree in education. However, in Newcastle university in most universities UK, teaching

Master of education with other master in system and no obvious difference.

(6) courses

British education master belong to course for the master's degree. To learn the main course, must finish the stipulation the credits to get a degree. According to the credit standards. British education master courses for 11 level

Level. Get a master's degree in education need 180 credits, to practice a course can get 15 credits.

1. The phases of course

In Britain. Most of the schools are in graduate certificate, diploma for graduate education training education on the basis of the master's degree. Thus, the master of education curriculum has the obvious stage. students

Complete a certain stage of course of study. Can obtain corresponding certificate or diploma. For example, in Aberdeen university education master program. To practice four course module can obtain a graduate certificate,

To practice eight course module can obtain a graduate degree, to practice 12 course module can obtain a master's degree in education.

Glasgow university regulations. To practice 60 credits stop studying, can obtain a graduate certificate: to practice 120 credits stop learning, can get graduate diploma.

2. The structure of the course

In Britain, the master of education courses required courses and generally fall into two parts. Some schools and the required course into common core courses (all professional direction common required courses) and professional nuclear

Heart class (for the professional courses in the obligatory course). In addition to the graduation thesis, course learning need to gain 120 credits, which accounts for about 15 to 30 elective credits. Although elective courses and professional core courses by

In professional differences and great difference, but most schools are the education scientific research ability training as an important part of the core class together. Such as, Newcastle university require all study for a master's education

A the students wanted to practice study design and methods lesson; The Glasgow university education research theory and contemporary education problem BBS as education college all common core of master graduate student class; o

Aberdeen university education scientific research method and class will graduation thesis is connected, as the master of education required link.

Glasgow university education for the master degree education in Scotland and England dishes, the course structure is clear, has the certain representation. Glasgow university education for the master's degree

Of each professional need to learn the course, divided into professional core courses, specialized elective course, common core class three parts. According to the regulation, to get a master's degree in education, the courses of the average grade is not

Lower than C, scores of course for E shall not exceed 25% of the total, every student can get an opportunity to rebuild.

(7) graduation thesis

British education graduate students need to write, submit papers or graduation design, or can't get a degree. Graduation thesis topic selection will contact the work practice of the reader I attack. And tries

Solve practical problem. Graduation thesis general requirement 15000 ~ 20000 words, can be obtained after the completion of the 60 credits. Equivalent to meditate 4 courses. In most schools. Course learning and graduation thesis is phase

To the independent two links. However. There are some schools began to try both together. So. The current English education master's graduation thesis link has two kinds of forms.

1. The twisted all course separation

At Newcastle university, Glasgow university and other institutions, students in the course after learning into paper link. In writing papers period, the school will no longer offer any course. Students on

Independent research, and with teachers regular one-to-one communication. Teachers want to student's thesis, choice of research method and writing process for guidance.

2. The papers and course combined

In some other schools. Students' education scientific research methods, training process of graduation thesis writing process be integrated into the course of study. School graduation thesis writing will be set to a subject. if

Aberdeen university, with optional required five course outside, the school offers a class 6: graduate thesis or graduation project. This class tightly around the students graduate thesis writing requirements and procedures organization class

Cheng content, its content including literature retrieval and review, and research the proposing of the goal of the research plan, design, the choice of methods, data collection and finishing, writing and publishing, etc.

In the end of the course. Students to submit this class the course assignments, and completing a degree thesis or graduation project.

(8) guidance teachers

In Britain, the guidance of teachers education master general by a faculty of academic research personnel as. According to the teacher's responsibility and the division of labor, students can be summarized as the guidance way

Two forms:

1. A single teacher form

For example, at Cambridge university, students after school, the school education college of management personnel specified education college is a scientific research personnel as the students the guidance of teachers. Teachers to prison

Zadok, guiding students learning process of the course. Is also responsible for students direction of the graduation thesis, and professor certain course.

2. Double teachers form for example, in Glasgow university. Each education master's equipped with two teachers: (1) course teachers. After the students, education institute for each student assigned a

Name teachers, responsible for the selection, and operation of class provide guidance. (2) the thesis guidance teachers. By the end of the course. Education college students according to submit papers selected topic and study design feeling

For students in teacher assigned papers.

Second, British education master's degree education features and experience

British education for the master degree education system is complete, the characteristics and development experience has the certain enlightenment meaning and reference value.

(a) focus on demand and quality, avoid blind development

Education is a master's degree in the 1990 s before and after a new degree there. Set in the beginning, people for this kind of degree will lead to the spread of whether degree and depreciation is worried. and#p#分页标题#e#

And. In some countries, because of a master's degree in education system in education has not been perfect and improve the eager to expand education before the master of scale. Indeed in the quantity and quality of the large gap between asked

Problem. By comparison. In the development scale and speed, the British education for the master degree education by the social demand orientation.

Also strive to ensure that education quality. So its development is particularly cautious.

To Cambridge university as the example, Cambridge university and a master's in education in training.

To the requirements of the quality of the are quite strict. At Cambridge university education institute. Education master's assessment standards, paper requirements and master of philosophy (M.P hil.) the same basic. In addition, university of Cambridge

On the one hand with Britain as the master of other universities education as a master's training course. On the other hand but try to master the way to develop the training education for the master's degree. Obviously, Cambridge

To learn and master of education belong to education because no professional degree in education and quality requirements to relax. In contrast, Cambridge university, master of education of the number and scale doesn't emphasize.

In 1995, for the first time at Cambridge university awarded a master's degree in education 35 people. In 1995 ~ 2005, awarded a master's degree in education each year of the highest number for 57 people (1996), the minimum for 25

People (2001) a year on average, awarded 44.6 people, fast growth, the number is not much. In the same period, of the university of Cambridge master's degree in philosophy of relatively stable development, 1995 ~ 2005 years of growth

1.6 times. However, the same professional degree education is the MBA education in the same period of development is very quickly, from 1995 years of 18 people increased to 2005 in 105.

Growth for nearly four times. Master of philosophy education and with the development of the MBA education than. Cambridge university education for the master degree education development slightly delayed. This and many national education master's rules

Mold the rapid expansion of conditions to form bright contrast. But it just shows, the British education for the master degree education development is not to pursue quantity size and growth as the goal, the quality and the club

Will demand is Cambridge university education master of the scale of the development.

(2) with complete degree system and cultivation mechanism

British education for the master degree education started more early, formed a comparatively perfect degree system and the training mechanism, and the specific reflect in the following two aspects:

1. A master's degree in education in Britain degree positioning of the system

Clear from horizontal said. In Britain, the education for the master degree education mainly in the field of education is to cultivate application-oriented talents. Improve on-the-job education workers ability of practice. This clear

Positioning make it and research master to distinguish, and also in the field of education M.A Msc. And the degree of lay particular stress on research to distinguish. Longitudinal said, master's degree in education under graduate certificate and has developed

Graduate students diploma two levels. On the doctor's degree. This kind of system and cohesion. On the one hand for those who cannot directly study for a master's degree in education of education practitioners provides a transitional phase, the other

On the one hand also for part of the teacher provide further study and the opportunity to learn.

2. In education master program each link of the process of forming a complete mechanism

The British education master recruit students object is the author of the incumbent education. In the admission review, work experience and learning experience is the focus of the audit content and has strict requirements. Thus the

Card for education graduate students with the necessary basic quality and development potential. British education master's professional Settings vary. For tapping the reader offers a wide range of choice. Curriculum is based on

Training practice ability, scientific research ability for pointing. By the obligatory course and course structure composed of elective course for students to keep the necessary autonomy. Education master's graduation thesis in the selected topic on request

Contact the fourth for readers to attack the practice, and strive to solve practical problems. Individual schools will also graduation thesis and course combined, not only ensure the education master the quality of the thesis, also be helpful for students

Scientific research ability of the students.

(3) in training to pursue diversity, avoid convergence

Diversity is a master of education training a basic demand, is also the British education for the master degree of education is an important feature. In Britain. Although not all universities have education

A master's degree in architecture. But education master program the number of agencies still considerable. And the British education administrative system of decentralized give to the college a high degree of autonomy, the education master culture

Have to have the premise for variety.

Not only has the school education master program project, and education master program the types of projects. British education master of professional direction varied, no unified mode. both

Teaching, the management of the professional direction to meet the general demand. Also there are for special needs and didn't buy art, education consultation, education technology, special education and related major. In education master's

The goal of training. Various universities from local needs and the advantage of oneself start, each has its own characteristics. Cambridge university takes to improve the education of the master's degree of scientific research ability; To put forward the university of Glasgow

Out to develop the in-service teacher's reflection ability, has the obvious practical: Newcastle university emphasizes to improve the students' professional quality as the core of the comprehensive quality, such as professional ability, learning what ability

To interpersonal communication ability.

Although the UK education for the master degree education has obvious characteristic and the experience for reference. But there is also some unavoidable issue. In education master program, the ideal

Teachers configuration should be the researchers and education practice the theory of experts in the field of combined. In Britain, whether course link or text link precincts. A master's degree in education to the cultivation of the readers by tapping completely high

The teacher education institute and other institutions responsible for, ignore the practice field the participation of experts. In this case, even if the master of education training to improve the students' emphasis on practical ability, the effect will be

To influence. Second, the students in teacher's choice a lack of autonomy. In the university of Cambridge, university of Glasgow, colleges and universities, education master to the guidance of teachers by the college management personnel in charge

Appointed, ignore the students and teachers of two-way choice between. This for the student to obtain effective guidance is unfavorable.
