The easy access to information using the Internet has transformed industrial societies to knowledge societies and facilitated globalization. Information Communication Technology (ICT) is becoming a powerful tool to empower learning, teaching, research and adminstration in the 21st century. The education reform and the importance of ICT open new opportunities for educators, administrators and practitioners to adopt ICT as a change agent to meet the changing needs. The aim of the ICT in education programme is for experienced professionals who aspire to try out innovations to improve their own practices or their workplaces. It aims to develop participants’ capacity for inquiry and to expand their theoretical bases for practice, to consider global issues and to address problems of practical implementation of using ICT in education. Upon completion of the programme, the participants are expected to be the leaders in education or non-education settings.

Specialised Courses

• Critical Literature Review on ICT in Education
• Research on ICT in Education and Related Ethical Issues
• Technology, Pedagogy and Education
• Leadership and ICT in Education

It is well-known that various crisis, conflict, and knowledge gap, coupled with the tension created by the recent educational reform have led to many great and prevalent challenges and opportunities in the science teaching community. Examples include the pioneering use of information technology in science teaching through computer-mediated experiments, Science-Technology-and-Society and constructivist’s approach towards science teaching, inquiry-based learning, problem-based learning, life-wide learning, metacognition in science learning, and school-based assessment etc. Therefore, Science Education is offered as an area of study via Directed Study mode in the EdD programme to prepare future leaders in Science Education with both theoretical and practical competence for initiating and implementing educational reform at the school and community level, and to provide concrete research findings to inform and improve professional practice of the local and regional science teaching communities.

Specialised Courses

• Technology for Effective Learning and Teaching of Science
• The Social and Psychological Dynamics of Science Learning
• Environmental Health Perspectives and Education
• Field-based Education and Environmental Literacy
• Education for Environmental Sustainability
