Programme Aims and Objectives

The EdD programme is aimed at experienced educators and professionals in education settings who aspire to extend their expertise in a particular Specialized Area, and their professional knowledge in a broad range of educational contexts through core courses.

Upon the completion of the Programme, students should be able to:

  • demonstrate an expert knowledge, understanding and competence in the Specialized Area and in the larger educational context;
  • generate appropriate theoretical frameworks to address, analyse and propose innovative approaches to a broad range of educational issues;
  • develop insights into research trends in the Specialized Area and demonstrate readiness to contribute to the professional literature in that field;
  • effectively communicate concepts and theories within the Specialized Area to an audience of peers both locally and internationally;
  • analyse educational policies, processes or practices from different perspectives critically; and
  • demonstrate a thorough understanding of ethical practices within the Specialized Area.

Educational Measurement and Assessment

Educational Measurement plays a central role in educational assessment, most obviously in high stakes testing and comparative studies of educational achievement and less obviously in locally developed assessment schemes. Sound evidence-based decisions in education, including the use of assessment for learning often rely on thorough understanding of and ability to use the most appropriate quantitative investigative and reporting techniques. Specifically, this Area of Study is designed to provide students with in-depth understanding of quality educational measurement techniques in order that these approaches to assessment can be used appropriately to support learning in Hong Kong schools as well as in educational systems in the region.
