MEd Concentration in Curriculum

Faculty: Faculty of Humanities and Education – FHE

Department: School of Education – SOE

Level: MED – MED

Description:

The curriculum concentration is offered for educators and administrators at all levels of the system who must deal with curriculum issues in the Caribbean in a time of rapid and widespread curriculum change. The programme is aimed at providing students with opportunities to develop critical competences in curriculum theorising, planning, implementation and enactment. Students will also learn how curriculum theories have shaped Caribbean curricula.

Issues to be considered relate to the status of curriculum theory, planning, and enactment from perspectives that are informed both by Caribbean experience and enquiry and also by the experience and expertise of the wider educational community. Students will be encouraged to use their diverse educational and other life experiences in responding to the demands of the programme.
