The Master of Arts in Child Study and Education (MA-CSE) is well-suited to those interested in child-centred, research-informed practice and an inquiry approach to teaching. Our graduates are qualified to teach from JK to Grade 6. You don’t need to have a psychology or research background to apply. Our aim is to prepare students for careers as thoughtful, compassionate and equitable educators who can apply research and theory in child study to their teaching to meet the needs of diverse learners and schools. Our students consider the “why” behind everything they do in classrooms.Each child needs to feel safe and secure to follow their natural curiosities and develop a love of learning. Fostering a “community of care” is important.We believe student teachers learn to be teachers through a combination of coursework, extensive practice teaching, studying children, and seeing good practice modelled – both in their academic courses and in practice teaching.
