This Doctorate in Education/Professional Studies is
significantly different from the traditional doctorate and more
attuned to the professional seeking to develop their career through
enhanced research capacity. Promotes understanding of the nature,
development and evaluation of professional knowledge, develops
critical awareness and high level research skills.
KEY BENEFITS
- Comprehensive research training.
- Specialist supervision of thesis.
- A leading education and professional studies research
department in the UK.
PURPOSEDesigned to allow experienced professionals (particularly
those in full-time practice) to pursue a Doctoral level programme
relevant to their professional interests. The programme consists of
two integrated parts: a substantial taught element provides a
coherent structure and prepares students for engagement with
manageable independent research concerning issues arising from
professional practice. Suitable for professionals working in a wide
variety of contexts: school teachers, lecturers in higher or
further education, and educators in a variety of professional
settings.
DESCRIPTIONThis programme has been created to share the
department's internationally recognised and wide-ranging expertise
with senior professionals working in education. While providing
opportunities for you to pursue personal interests, it has a common
core of theory, research training and research designed
specifically for professionals at work. It is therefore
significantly different from the traditional doctorate and more
attuned to the needs of the career professional seeking to develop
their career through enhanced research capacity.
The programme aims to promote understanding of the nature,
development and evaluation of professional knowledge, to develop
critical awareness of implications of policies for practice and to
develop high level research skills. Four components are studied
sequentially as each leads on to and informs the subsequent
part.
In the taught component you will explore issues of professional
knowledge common to all participants, acquire relevant research
skills and link theoretical issues to your specialist interests.
These should also reflect the academic expertise in the department.
The institution-focused study looks at professionalism in practice:
you will examine problems and issues relating to being a
professional in an institutional setting, normally your own. You
will be supervised by a member of the department with input, where
appropriate, from a staff member in your institution. The
research-based thesis usually involves an empirically based study
in your specialist area. It may, where appropriate, follow on from
the institution-focused study. You will be supervised by a
specialist from King's academic staff.
