教育研究硕士 - 学习科学和技术

专业介绍

The Master of Research in Education Learning Sciences and Technologies is an innovative and research-led postgraduate degree in education with taught elements, uniquely designed to equip students with the expertise to investigate how people learn and how digital tools and emerging technologies can transform educational practice. It is grounded in research methodology, with particular focus on innovations in learning design, artificial intelligence, and data-driven education.

Students explore how learning theories, data-driven approaches, and educational technologies interact to shape learner experiences across schools, universities, workplaces, and informal settings. This pathway enables them to develop advanced research skills in the learning sciences, alongside transferable abilities that are highly valued by employers, such as data analysis, critical problem-solving, ethical research practice, reflective learning, and the ability to communicate complex ideas effectively across disciplines.

Students work with academics who are leading authorities in their areas of research, many of whom have extensive educational experience. The academic staff support students in their learning and in applying research techniques to real-world educational issues, preparing them to make meaningful contributions to research, digital learning, and educational practice.

At the University of Hertfordshire, students become part of a vibrant research community in education, with opportunities to attend seminars, conferences, and interest groups, and to contribute to conversations shaping the future of education. They also have access to the University’s Researcher Development Programme, which provides additional training in advanced skills that support both their studies and future careers.

The modules are taught by experts in learning sciences, research methods, and educational technology design, with a strong emphasis on applying research methods to real institutional contexts. In the first year, students take modules on key concepts in learning sciences, critical literature review, and research design, which equip them with the tools to investigate how people learn and how technology supports learning.

Students also begin developing their research proposal, which forms the foundation for their independent major research project in the second year. This project, supported by a dedicated supervisory team, provides an opportunity to explore a chosen topic in depth and develop specialist expertise in technology-enhanced learning environments.

Teaching is delivered through a combination of study days, online activities, research seminars, and one-to-one supervision. Assessment methods are varied and designed to reflect real research practice, including literature reviews, research proposals, viva-style discussions, and the final dissertation.
