Why M level? Benefit to the teaching profession? Benefit to the individual teacher? Benefit to the child? The idea of the research project
Proposal
A joint project between ESCalate, the University of Cumbria, UCET and other interested HEIs.
The aim of the research is to track the progress and effect of Masters level PGCE provision in England from September 2007 until at least June 2009 with the intention of investigating the value-added it brings to the teaching profession.
Value-added
Value-added is the enhancement that students achieve (to knowledge, skills abilities and other attributes) as a result of their Higher Education experience. http://www.qualityresearchinternational.com/glossary/valueadded.htm In this context, value-added can be extended to embrace the perceived value added to the teaching profession of Masters level credits in the PGCE.
