About the program
Research, teachand lead
The program works on what you already do: it revisits the theoretical foundations and education policy, sets didactics and strategy design against your own teaching practice, and puts that practice under analysis.
An educational research seminar runs through the last three terms and ends in an intervention project of your own. That is the backbone of the degree: you take this master's by researching, not only by listening.
Graduate profile
The master in educationalsciences you will become
By the end of five terms you will be able to back an educational decision with evidence of your own, and not only with experience. These are the four capabilities you leave ICES with.
Educational research
You frame an educational problem, choose the method it calls for and develop an intervention project with results you can defend.
Didactics and teaching strategy
You design teaching and learning strategies for on-campus and technology-mediated settings, and analyse your own practice critically.
Curriculum design and innovation
You innovate the curriculum and lesson planning around the real educational needs of the setting you work in.
Management and school leadership
You lead institutions and staff development programs, and assess educational performance with instruments built for the purpose.
