About the course

What can I expect out of this qualification?

The aim of this qualification is to: 1. Induct emerging researchers into the role of educational research for inquiry-based teaching and learning, who can demonstrate evidence of advanced knowledge in a specialist field of inquiry
2. Prepare the next generation of researchers to undertake systematic and independent planning, execution, and completion of empirical research through culturally responsible and ethical research practice; this is achieved by partnering our students with knowledgeable supervisors and by establishing clear, effective research processes.
3. Grow a diverse community of scholars through research engagement that enables depth and breadth of research and researchers; this includes opportunities to study courses and conduct research in Early Childhood Leadership, Infants and Toddlers, Mātauranga Māori and the Montessori philosophy.
4. Develop and support the generation and dissemination of new, high quality, credible and meaningful research knowledge related to education in the Aotearoa New Zealand context and beyond. Co-publishing with supervisors is a fundamental practice for achieving this aim.
