ABSTRACT

This paper aims to explore the potential role of Master’s of Education dissertation/thesis work in developing twenty-first century skills. A total of 600 education professionals studying Master’s of Education programmes in five countries – Poland, Portugal, England, Latvia, and Romania – were surveyed. The findings have revealed that participants recognise the usefulness of twenty-first century skills for their (future) professional practice, and perceive dissertation/thesis work as a valuable foundation for developing these skills. This study offers practical implications for designers of Master’s of Education programmes and contributes to our understanding that this assignment is not only a formal requirement for obtaining a degree, but that it also serves as a pathway towards deepening students’ professional learning.

通过教育硕士论文/论文工作赋予教育专业人员二十一世纪的技能

摘要

本文旨在探讨教育硕士论文/论文工作在培养二十一世纪技能方面的潜在作用。共有 600 名在五个国家(波兰、葡萄牙、英国、拉脱维亚和罗马尼亚)学习教育硕士课程的教育专业人士接受了调查。调查结果表明,参与者认识到二十一世纪的技能对他们(未来)的专业实践的有用性,并将论文/论文工作视为发展这些技能的宝贵基础。这项研究为教育硕士课程的设计者提供了实际意义,并有助于我们理解这项作业不仅是获得学位的正式要求,而且还是加深学生专业学习的途径。
