Masters level study in education: a guide to success for PGCE students

Using detailed - and real - exemplars, the authors cover the conventions that need to be followed and consider the different elements of Master's level work. Each chapter is supported by appropriate reference to, and extracts from, the three most common types of work undertaken - traditional essay, curriculum package, and portfolio.

Now that the DCFS plans to make teaching a Master's level profession, it is vital that you can develop the confidence in making the transition from H level to M level. The book will enable you to:

Understand how to prepare, carry out and write a literature review
Consider the different methodologies and approaches that are inherent in Master's level work
Understand the nature of Master's level work within education as a research/evidence based profession
Appreciate the importance of ethical underpinning when working at this level
