Masters in Education with the Open University

claire h

Has anyone any experience of this masters, especially the 'Educational enquiry' module that's now recommended as the introduction (if you're starting now)? The student feedback seems to be quite critical of the structure of that particular module.

I know teachers who've done or are doing this masters, and I know it's one of the more popular OU masters degrees, but I don't have a sense of whether it's particularly well-regarded (beyond it being "a masters degree" full stop).

Hi claire h, I completed the education enquiry module with the OU last year. This module is very theory based, but does give you a good grounding before you work on any other modules. That being said, the material was heavy going. Last year I studied the Child development module and found this much more interesting.

Hi,

I signed up for this module last May and the course material arrived today, looking at it I am a bit overwhelmed, as sunflower says it looks fairly heavy going.

How did ye find the course, any tips or suggestions for me?
Any help would be appreciated!
