New research in science education from the IOE

New research in your subject area from the Institute of Education, University of London

The IOE was ranked first in the world for education in the 2014 QS World University Rankings. We undertake around a quarter of the funded education research carried out in UK. It is our mission to promote excellence in education through advancing knowledge and understanding, and as part of this, we aim to make our research available to those to whom it is relevant.

We have recently published a research report in your subject area. If you would like to receive a PDF copy of this report by email, please follow the link below and complete your details in the form provided.

‘The Place of Fieldwork in Geography and Science Qualifications’ by Professor David Lambert and Professor Michael Reiss

In addition to receiving this report, you can also choose to find out more about our subject-specific masters degrees. Gaining a masters degree in your specialist area is an excellent way to extend your skills and expertise as a subject leader. Masters degrees provide a formal academic framework for thinking more broadly and deeply about teaching and learning in your subject area. You will draw upon research findings in education and related social science disciplines, as well as subject-specific research.

Taught by world-leading academics and providing the opportunity to exchange experiences with your peers, these programmes offer flexible learning to fit in with the demands of your job. Previous graduates have progressed into leadership positions within their existing careers, have moved into policy-making, educational consultancy or teacher training, or have used what they have learned to enhance their work in their existing roles.

“The course was clearly designed to encourage us to question our preconceptions of the subject and how it is represented in education”

Former student, MA Geography Education
