Pursue advanced expertise in teaching and learning methodologies.
For educators eager to embrace innovation and experiment with novel approaches, few pursuits rival the intellectual thrill and personal satisfaction of investigating, refining, and enhancing educational techniques. The University of Missouri-St. Louis offers a Doctor of Philosophy in Education with an Emphasis in Teaching-Learning Processes, enabling you to investigate and master various subjects that foster groundbreaking instructional methods.
PhD candidates in the Teaching-Learning Processes program collaborate closely with
their doctoral advisor and faculty members, receiving comprehensive support to achieve their academic objectives. This program mandates at least 60 credit hours beyond a master's degree, incorporating six dissertation research credits. Applicants without a master's degree must complete 90 postbaccalaureate hours, including six dissertation research credits.
Throughout the program, students will develop and execute sophisticated research initiatives as autonomous scholars, employing qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-method approaches. They'll cultivate skills to communicate clearly and collaborate productively across diverse settings, languages, and platforms. Additionally, they'll analyze, evaluate, and apply theoretical literature regarding human development, learning science, and sociocultural influences to understand variations in learning trajectories and developmental processes.
