Educational psychology (how children, young people, and adults learn)
How education systems evolve and how they function
The role of education in the lives of families, whanau and communities
The historical influences that have shaped institutions of childhood and education systems nationally and internationally
The cultural, social, and political influences on the school curriculum
Gender, disability, Maori education, ICT and research methods also feature in the undergraduate programme
The study of Education is diverse and interdisciplinary. It will give you a range of sought-after skills including critical thinking, problem solving, strong interpersonal skills, and both written and verbal communication skills.
