SERA/WERA Conference – Edinburgh 2014

Leave a comment

As part of my MSc I have recently presented findings from my research at the SERA/WERA (Scottish Educational Research Association/World Educational Research Association) conference held in Edinburgh this November. It was a rather nerve-wracking build up creating an academic poster to present to academics from across the world (USA, Taiwan, Norway, Iceland, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and over 40 other countries) and with a few glitches along the way I eventually managed to get everything brought together in the poster below.

MSc in Educational Research: Use of iPads to Develop Higher Order Thinking Skills

Leave a comment

Over the last three years I have been undertaking an MSc in Educational Leadership at the University of Stirling. This culminated recently with my final submitted piece of work on how iPads can be used effectively within Social Subjects to support pupils’ development of higher order thinking skills (taken from Anderson et al’s 2001 reworking of Bloom’s Taxonomy). This project was run within the Social Subjects faculty and from the intervention, which was incorporated in to the S3 curriculum, there were several interesting findings. Firstly, pupils were less confident in their use of iPads and associated software than we as teachers perhaps assume and it was interesting to note that the majority of pupils reported increasingly levels of confidence with the use of mobile technology to enhance learning. Secondly, pupils were more capable of discussing and identifying how they can apply knowledge and skills across the discrete subject areas and this aided us in moving past the “but this is Maths/English/insert random subject” type of response to a more holistic view of learning.

MSc Leadership in Professional Context

Leave a comment

MSc Leadership in Professional Context

We are now in the process of recruitment and preparing for January registration for entry to the MSc Leadership in Professional Contexts Programme in the School of Education at the University of Aberdeen. This MSc programme is designed for aspiring leaders interested in developing their leadership and management skills.

Please take a look at the information provided for the programme and the individual modules on offer in January – all our modules can be taken as ‘stand-alone’ or as part of a Certificate, Diploma or the full Masters programme. However, in order to take advantage of the opportunity to gain the Scottish Qualification for Headship at the same time as completing the master’s programme – the full 180 credit programme must be completed. The SQH is incorporated into the Master’s programme at the University of Aberdeen, no separate registration is necessary.
