LOCATION AND FACILITIES<br />

LOCATION AND<br />

FACILITIES<br />

The Institute for Education (<strong>IfE</strong>) is located in the limits of Pembroke, overlooking the<br />

sea and the Madliena Tower. The entire building enjoys notable nature views and is at a<br />

considerable distance from any other buildings, creating a calm and quiet environment<br />

for your learning experience. There is parking around the building as well as further up,<br />

and there is a bus stop (Luther) located exactly outside the main doors.<br />

The <strong>IfE</strong> premises offer numerous facilities to its course participants, including:<br />

Classrooms with different setups and equipment for whatever a session<br />

might require<br />

Wheelchair access to the building<br />

Various restrooms throughout the building<br />

A cafeteria with food and beverage vending machines<br />

A breakroom with sofas and chairs<br />

A multi-faith room<br />

A counselling room<br />

Ample outside seating and space<br />

The entire premises are also strictly non-smoking.<br />

12


<strong>IfE</strong> PROSPECTUS <strong>2023</strong>-<strong>2024</strong><br />

LOCATION AND FACILITIES<br />

The premises make it possible for our lecturers to<br />

be creative in how they deliver their sessions, such<br />

as the case of applying outdoor learning. Certain<br />

sessions are, however, also delivered in other<br />

venues and schools which we are in partnership<br />

with. These include St Clare College Secondary<br />

School (Pembroke), St Ignatius College Secondary<br />

School (Qormi), St Nicholas College Middle<br />

School (Rabat), St Theresa College Middle School<br />

(Birkirkara), St Benedict College Secondary School<br />

(Kirkop), San Gorg Preca College Secondary School<br />

(Hamrun), the Marsa Sports Complex (Marsa),<br />

National Sport School (Pembroke), Digital Literacy<br />

Centre (Hamrun), the Malta Council for Science and<br />

Technology, and the Institute for Tourism Studies.<br />

Considering their size and location, the <strong>IfE</strong> premises<br />

are an ideal space for events and are, in fact, the<br />

venue for a number of activities which the <strong>IfE</strong><br />

organises throughout the year.<br />

We look forward to seeing you there!<br />

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO<br />

MESSAGE<br />

FROM<br />

THE CEO<br />

Since 2018, the Institute for Education offers the right opportunity<br />

for those who want to pursue a career in education. One can<br />

seek to become a teacher by choosing a suitable qualification<br />

pathway through either a Bachelor of Education degree or a<br />

Postgraduate Diploma. Qualified teachers can opt to progress in<br />

their career by pursing a Master Degree in Applied Educational<br />

Leadership. Furthermore, the professional educator that selfreflects<br />

will value the different stand-alone courses offered that<br />

can bridge the gaps one may have. Each year the <strong>IfE</strong> offers<br />

more streams as part of the initial teacher training qualifications<br />

and more Awards for continuous professional development in<br />

various areas. The <strong>IfE</strong> is committed to deliver courses that are<br />

relevant, practical and accessible. Furthermore, the assessment<br />

of all courses is continuous, without the use of examinations, so<br />

that evidence of learning is collected for all learning outcomes<br />

and not just for a limited sample.<br />

As from this year, the Institute for Education will be offering a<br />

Master of Education in Teaching Students with Disabilities. This<br />

innovative qualification offers a new teaching career pathway<br />

to Learning Support Educators who hold a Bachelor Degree in<br />

Inclusive Education. These prospective teachers will be able<br />

to teach in Resource Centres and settings where learners have<br />

particular needs and would benefit from such expertise.<br />

Choosing to enrol on a course with the Institute for Education is<br />

a decision to study for a high standard qualification or award that<br />

is delivered part-time using a blended learning modality. The<br />

quality and expectations remain as high as for any qualification<br />

that is delivered full-time. Resiliency and a growth mindset<br />

are therefore a prerequisite, since studying while having other<br />

commitments can offer a challenge which can be overcome if<br />

there is a clear vision and passion.<br />

<strong>IfE</strong> PROSPECTUS <strong>2023</strong>-<strong>2024</strong><br />

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO<br />

Apart from expanding your potential and broadening your<br />

horizons, you will become a professional that has influence<br />

on a child’s future self, their knowledge, their attitude, their<br />

wellbeing and ultimately their happiness.<br />

Your self-belief will be enhanced as you will have the opportunity<br />

to recognise your achievements and understand what gaps<br />

you might have in your learning. You will be empowered to<br />

take the necessary steps to bridge that gap, leading to your<br />

development as a professional.<br />

Support will be provided throughout your learning path. The<br />

lecturers, course coordinators, supervisors and the student<br />

affairs manager will be there to assist you every time you reach<br />

out. You will be given various opportunities to provide your<br />

feedback. Our intention is to enhance our processes, procedures<br />

and, above all, our courses in order to remain relevant and<br />

forward-looking.<br />

This will not only be a journey of the mind but of your whole<br />

self if you allow it to be so. At the Institute for Education you<br />

can be critical, present your ideas and be innovative. Schools<br />

and society in general need educators who can face challenges<br />

even when they get tough. Our focus is the child, and you will<br />

be an invaluable bridge to the development of that child.<br />

The Student Affairs Office within the Admissions Department<br />

is the primary focal point between the course participants<br />

and the Institute for Education. This office strives to enhance<br />

the whole-person development. Through an outreach<br />

approach, we want to create a sense of community that<br />

supports our course participants in their professional<br />

and personal growth by acting as the go-to<br />

reference point for academic and emotional<br />

support. Our guiding principle is to place<br />

the course participant at the core of our<br />

operations by fostering an accessible,<br />

inclusive environment that supports<br />

work-life-study commitments.<br />

Mental wellbeing, self-awareness<br />

and personal growth are the<br />

key guiding principles<br />

on which this office<br />

operates. In line<br />

with this, this<br />

One of the missions of the Student Affairs<br />

gives the space and opportunity for course<br />

development. The Committee supports the<br />

Admissions Department in organising events<br />

CAREER PROSPECTS<br />

CAREER PROSPECTS<br />

Career prospects, upskilling, professional<br />

development, and progression are key<br />

considerations when deciding to follow an award<br />

or a qualification programme. Starting from our<br />

accredited awards, these provide educators<br />

with the opportunity to enhance their skills and<br />

competences to deliver a more comprehensive<br />

learning experience to students. Some of the<br />

awards may also be a prerequisite to apply for<br />

certain positions of employment and may contribute<br />

towards the accelerated progression scheme.<br />

Our Bachelor of Education (Hons) and Master of<br />

Education degrees are both initial teacher training<br />

programmes that provide an excellent opportunity<br />

for supply teachers and those aspiring to join the<br />

teaching profession to acquire the necessary<br />

pedagogical knowledge in primary, secondary or<br />

vocational areas. The Bachelor of Education (Hons)<br />

programmes are ideal for anyone who is interested<br />

in teaching a subject/area but is not in possession<br />

of a first degree. Whilst the Master of Education<br />

programmes target those that already have<br />

obtained a first degree in the subject/area and now<br />

would like to extend this experience into teaching.<br />

One will also have the possibility to exit the Master<br />

of Education programme with a Postgraduate<br />

Diploma in Education. Under the current Education<br />

Act, upon successfully obtaining the Bachelor of<br />

Education (MQF Level 6) or a Postgraduate Diploma<br />

in Education (MQF Level 7), one will have the<br />

necessary pedagogical qualification to apply for<br />

a regular teaching position. Moreover, the newly<br />

launched Master of Education in Teaching Students<br />

with Disabilities offers the chance to specialise in<br />

teaching students with disabilities.<br />

One may consider taking their career a step further<br />

and invest in our signature Master in Applied<br />

Educational Leadership, which is the perfect<br />

platform for anyone wishing to explore a career in<br />

educational leadership, particularly within school<br />

management.<br />

Based on the Digital Competence Framework for<br />

Educators (DigCompEdu), the <strong>IfE</strong> is offering the<br />

Postgraduate Certificate in Digital Competences<br />

for Education (MQF Level 7). This qualification<br />

programme is the perfect path for those working<br />

within the education profession who wish to<br />

upgrade their digital skills and competencies in<br />

the area of digital literacies, specifically digital<br />

Our first programme in Early Years is a jointdegree<br />

programme that enables Early<br />

national diploma in the area to top up their<br />

qualification and acquire a bachelor’s degree.<br />

This Bachelor of Arts (Hons) Early Years,<br />

MCAST, is the perfect stepping stone for Early<br />

The Student Affairs Office welcomes any<br />

queries and invites all interested and<br />

prospective applicants to get in touch to<br />

discuss their prospects and opportunities.<br />

Whilst most of the programmes that we<br />

offer will open a window of opportunities<br />

to become a qualified regular educator, we<br />

also recommend that you take a look at the<br />

employment requirements published by<br />

your prospective employers, as well as the<br />

requirements published by the Council for<br />

the Teaching Profession with regards to<br />

the awarding of teaching warrants.<br />

<strong>IfE</strong> PROSPECTUS <strong>2023</strong>-<strong>2024</strong><br />

WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING<br />

WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING<br />

The <strong>IfE</strong>’s aspiration is that Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) is embedded as a formal<br />

component into its undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Therefore, degree<br />

programmes addressed towards educators’ development and initial teacher training<br />

have embedded within them a WIL component; this is reflected primarily through the<br />

teaching practice and the micro-placement Modules. The WIL Department offers course<br />

participants the opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge gained from their<br />

academic settings to a work-based scenario.<br />

Teaching Practice and Practicum<br />

Teaching Practice is a vital component of initial teacher-training programmes as it<br />

provides an opportunity for the learners to put theory into practice and to self-reflect on<br />

teaching and assessment methods employed in the classroom. Furthermore, this module<br />

is an integral part of the programme, which will also contribute towards partially fulfilling<br />

the requirements outlined by the Council for the Teaching Profession with respect to<br />

applications for a teacher’s warrant.<br />

The <strong>IfE</strong> offers Teaching Practice placements within the following degree programmes:<br />

Bachelor of Education (Hons)<br />

Master of Education<br />

Master of Education Teaching Students with Disabilities<br />

Practicums are also featured in short programmes for education, namely the:<br />

Award in Supporting Learners with Individual Educational Needs<br />

Introductory Course for Supply Teachers (Award)<br />

Award in Assisting the Childcare Educator<br />

Duration of the Teaching Practice and Practicum<br />

DEGREE PROGRAMMES:<br />

BACHELOR OF EDUCATION (HONS)<br />

The Bachelor of Education (Hons) includes three teaching practices throughout the fouryear<br />

programme duration that are normally structured as follows:<br />

YEAR OF STUDIES TP PERIOD DURATION OF TP PERIOD*<br />

First Year February – March 6 weeks<br />

Second Year November – December 6 weeks<br />

Third Year Not Applicable Not Applicable<br />

Fourth Year November – December 6 weeks<br />

*Throughout the duration of the teaching practice placement, participants<br />

are expected to have a minimum weekly load of 15 lessons – applicable for<br />

a secondary school placement or for peripatetic teachers placed in a<br />

primary school setting; or a full load for participants placed within<br />

a primary classroom, teaching all the subjects normally taught<br />

in a primary school setting.<br />

The micro-placement experience<br />

has enriched my insight into the<br />

teacher’s role as I could look at it from<br />

another perspective. There is a lot of work<br />

and preparation that has to be done in order<br />

for the students to have a quality education and<br />

for the centres to run smoothly. This experience<br />

has helped me broaden my knowledge and face new<br />

challenges, thus developing problem-solving skills.<br />

Having other experiences gives you the chance to explore<br />

your skills and sharpen them to master your current job.<br />

Assessment of the Teaching Practice/Practicum<br />

This component is assessed by practice visitors who conduct classroom observations and<br />

support the course participants’ development through feedback and recommendations<br />

on practice. Course participants will also be assessed on a Teaching Practice file/<br />

Practicum documentation, which needs to be kept up-to-date throughout the placement<br />

period.<br />

Please review the TEACHING PRACTICE FACT SHEET for further information on teaching<br />

practice placements.<br />

Micro-Placements in Industry<br />

The <strong>IfE</strong> is offering micro-placements within the industry. The uniqueness of this concept is<br />

that the micro-placement modules are integrated within qualifications that are targeted<br />

towards initial teachers’ training and specialisation in education. We seek to build<br />

a stronger bridge between the education sector and the world of work through this<br />

initiative.<br />

The micro-placement modules are found in two qualifications offered by the Institute:<br />

Within the Bachelor of Education (Hons), the micro-Placement module carries<br />

six (6) ECTS, with 90 hours of hands-on training<br />

Within the Postgraduate Certificate in Education (Conversion), the module<br />

carries ten (10) ECTS, having 180 hours of hands-on training<br />

This module is also offered as an award at MQF Level 7 (10 ECTS), targeting educators<br />

already working in the field who are primarily seeking to further their continuous<br />

professional development by making their teaching practices more relevant in an evergrowing<br />

knowledge-based economy, through a work experience of 180 hours in an<br />

industry of their choice.<br />

<strong>IfE</strong> PROSPECTUS <strong>2023</strong>-<strong>2024</strong><br />

DURATION OF TP PERIOD<br />

June – August<br />

(90 hours of placement)<br />

June – August<br />

(180 hours of placement)<br />

Through these modules, our course participants will gain additional skills through<br />

collaboration, networking, and critical thinking. This experience will provide an<br />

opportunity for our course participants to be engaged within the community in which<br />

they are learning, and therefore, they will eventually be able to incorporate practical<br />

examples within the classroom.<br />

These modules will allow course participants to experience the transition from a classroombased<br />

scenario to working within an industry of their choice, an experience which they<br />

will refer to when preparing their students holistically for the future.<br />

With the micro-placement modules and contributors on board, we shall equip our course<br />

participants with soft skills such as adaptability, communication, work ethic, teamwork,<br />

flexibility, time management, and problem-solving skills. Therefore, we will be creating a<br />

spillover effect in transmitting 21 st century skills into the classrooms.<br />

When delivering these modules, the <strong>IfE</strong> encourages course participants to seek their<br />

placements to ensure that the experience meets their expectations and makes the<br />

learning processes more valuable.<br />

In supporting the micro-placement modules, the <strong>IfE</strong> has sought contributors who have<br />

committed to hosting our course participants on placements within their workplace. Our<br />

contributors include:<br />

RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING<br />

RECOGNITION OF<br />

PRIOR LEARNING<br />

Do you think you have covered similar content to that included in our programmes?<br />

Do you have experience through which you accumulated relevant knowledge<br />

applicable to the programme? Then this might be applicable to you.<br />

What is RPL?<br />

Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is a<br />

formalised process through which credit may<br />

be awarded for learning undertaken prior to the<br />

commencement of a course offered by the <strong>IfE</strong><br />

or learning completed together with, but not<br />

as part of the <strong>IfE</strong> course for which a prospective<br />

course participant has applied or is registered.<br />

What are the pros of RPL?<br />

RPL avoids duplication of previous learning,<br />

whilst ensuring that credit is only awarded<br />

when strong evidence is presented of successful<br />

achievement of the learning outcomes applicable<br />

to the level and content of the award for which<br />

the learner has applied or is registered.<br />

When do you need to claim RPL?<br />

An RPL application for exemption can be made<br />

once a potential course participant has been<br />

accepted onto the programme. RPL claims<br />

should be made at least one month prior to<br />

the start of the course. This clause does not<br />

apply to RPL (formal) claims related to standalone<br />

modules completed with the Institute for<br />

Education.<br />

For further information on <strong>IfE</strong>’s RPL policy visit<br />

ife.gov.mt<br />

When is RPL considered?<br />

Usually, only qualifications and experience<br />

acquired within ten years of the date of an RPL<br />

claim will be admissible as evidence to support<br />

a claim. Certain courses may apply a different<br />

time period to reflect professional and other<br />

regulatory requirements.<br />

<strong>IfE</strong> PROSPECTUS <strong>2023</strong>-<strong>2024</strong><br />

QUALIFICATIONS<br />

Physical education was the subject that helped<br />

me connect the proverbial dots when I was a student.<br />

I decided to take a long-overdue decision to quit my<br />

finance career and start teaching P.E. as a supply teacher.<br />

Thanks to <strong>IfE</strong>, this Bachelor of Education programme has given<br />

me the opportunity to eventually become a regular teacher. I am<br />

now in my third year of studies and feel that this experience has<br />

given me the tools, skills, and knowledge to become a better<br />

teacher and offer my students a more “quality” P.E. experience.<br />

<strong>IfE</strong>’s blended learning modules allow me to study in my free<br />

time. whilst learning in small groups helps me feel valued as an<br />

individual. Tutors are very experienced and well prepared, and<br />

modules are well organised. Two major benefits this programme<br />

offers are being able to study while working in the teaching<br />

sector, and being assessed through both practical means and<br />

home-based assignments.<br />

When I learnt that the Master in<br />

Applied Educational Leadership course<br />

offered by <strong>IfE</strong> is mainly asynchronous, I decided<br />

I could manage to balance out my time between work,<br />

family and the course.<br />

The MAEL course provides an applied approach to leadership,<br />

with most lecturers still practicing what they are discussing<br />

with us. They are aware of the realities in today’s schools, and<br />

understand the difficulties encountered. The course can be<br />

challenging at times, but the help and assistance provided by<br />

the lecturers, the course co-ordinator and the Institute’s staff is<br />

incredible.<br />

The Master in Applied Educational Leadership is giving me a<br />

better insight of what a good school leader should consider<br />

when setting out on such an important role.<br />

continuously striving to improve and achieve academic excellence<br />

whilst always bringing the student’s voice to the forefront. The sense<br />

The <strong>IfE</strong> has added enormous value both to my career and to my<br />

CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT<br />

The <strong>IfE</strong> is dedicated to providing all educators with possibilities<br />

to engage in their Continuing Professional Development (CPD).<br />

The journey of an educator does not end upon receiving an<br />

undergraduate or postgraduate degree in education. On the<br />

contrary, it is an educator’s professional duty to keep abreast<br />

of the latest developments in the educational sphere.<br />

Choose from a vast selection of accredited stand-alone<br />

modules and non-accredited educator sessions to engage with<br />

your CPD. Qualified teachers can benefit from the Accelerated<br />

Progression Scheme by attending these courses. Visit the <strong>IfE</strong>’s<br />

Professional Development page for more information on how<br />

our team can support you.<br />

Educational Neuroscience<br />

Course Description<br />

Through this programme, participants will be given<br />

the opportunity to develop their understanding of<br />

ways in which cognitive neuroscience can inform<br />

their decisions to further improve the educational<br />

and learning experience.<br />

The programme will introduce participants to<br />

concepts of genetics and brain science. Participants<br />

will explore various processes in the brain including<br />

executive functioning, attention, working memory,<br />

and the retrieval and transfer of knowledge. In<br />

doing so, they will analyse and interpret several<br />

studies related to cognition and learning to infer<br />

changes to better support learners. Following this,<br />

participants will observe cognitive and language<br />

development from the early stages of life up to<br />

adolescence and adulthood including typical and<br />

atypical development. In turn, this will lead to<br />

further research on the application of neuroscience<br />

to classroom practice and how various studies have<br />

shown how to harness this development and direct<br />

it to improve learning.<br />

This module aims at helping educators to<br />

introduce students to digital citizenship values<br />

whilst enhancing their digital skills through web<br />

2.0 tools that can be easily integrated in their<br />

schemes of work for the taught subjects. This<br />

module is intended to describe the role of Digital<br />

Citizenship and Digital Skills in today’s educational<br />

practices and illustrate particular digital tools that<br />

can be used as a valuable resource within the<br />

teaching practice. The module will discuss, plan<br />

and implement a cross-curricular approach to<br />

integrate Digital Citizenship and Digital Skills within<br />

the current educational framework and one’s own<br />

current practice.<br />

Entry Requirements<br />

Applicants interested in following this programme are to have a basic<br />

level of computer knowledge and use of Internet.<br />

I followed<br />

the course Award<br />

in Digital Citizenship<br />

and Digital Tools. As an<br />

experienced teacher, I use a lot<br />

of digital tools in class, and I wanted<br />

to expand my expertise in them. It is very<br />

convenient for me as a parent to follow courses<br />

at <strong>IfE</strong> because they are offered online. I felt that<br />

the courses I attended were very engaging, and I learnt<br />

new insights on teaching and parenting. The materials I was<br />

provided with were very useful and helped me to delve deeper into<br />

different topics. The course helped me to restructure my lessons based<br />

on what I learnt during the course. I learnt to use the digital tools not only<br />

to engage the students, but as an alternative teaching tool. Moreover, I had the<br />

opportunity to explore new ways of how to use technology to help students become<br />

more independent and digitally literate. I also discovered new digital tools such as Flipgrid,<br />

which is very useful in teaching and assessment.<br />

Course Description<br />

Inquiry-Based Learning has its roots in<br />

constructivism, where the main ideology is that<br />

individuals must actively construct their own<br />

knowledge, ideally using a collaborative approach.<br />

Echoing constructivist theories, the National<br />

Minimum Curriculum considers learning as an active<br />

process and proposes student-centred inquirybased<br />

approaches. This course aims to encourage<br />

teachers to use inquiry-based learning to help<br />

students become better learners by developing<br />

their critical thinking skills and preparing them to<br />

become lifelong learners.<br />

It also aims to illustrate ways how teachers can<br />

engage students who do not function well in a more<br />

learning can be adapted for all age groups<br />

Assessment for Learning and Continuous Assessment<br />

Course Description<br />

Assessment is fundamental in the educational<br />

process and it drives teaching and learning. AfL is<br />

integral to learning and it focuses on the process of<br />

learning. It is done when teachers gather evidence<br />

of learning during classroom practice. Successively,<br />

this evidence of learning is continuously used to<br />

adapt the teaching and gives suitable information as<br />

to where the learner stands in the learning process.<br />

Together with effective scaffolding, learners will<br />

realise the next step in this journey. Consequently,<br />

AfL strategies and continuous assessment will help<br />

students become self-reflective and independent<br />

learners.<br />

This module critically investigates the underpinning<br />

pedagogical approaches to help educators make<br />

the shift to a flipped classroom. The flipped<br />

classroom approach, which is a type of blended<br />

learning, empowers learners to think critically<br />

about a particular area of study and engage in selfdirected<br />

learning. This gives them the opportunity<br />

to engage with the content and further research to<br />

increase their knowledge before in-class activities.<br />

Course participants will systematically familiarise<br />

themselves with the strategies entailed to flip their<br />

classroom by availing themselves of different digital<br />

technologies and to help learners take ownership<br />

of their own learning, all whilst being actively<br />

involved in the learning process.<br />

Effective Educational Leadership in Multicultural Schools​<br />

Course Description<br />

One of the greatest modern challenges in<br />

educational management is the need to combine<br />

multicultural education with leadership. For an<br />

educational system to be truly inclusive, it has to be<br />

rooted in values of equity and social justice, rather<br />

than a series of attempts at assimilative practices.<br />

Course participants will be given the opportunity<br />

to criticise subjective leadership practices when<br />

dealing with issues of multicultural diversity, race,<br />

ethnicity, religion and national origin. The course<br />

will affirm the need to effect positive change in<br />

schools by addressing the needs of all students<br />

irrespective of cultural origin.<br />

Entry Requirements<br />

Applicants interested in following this programme are to be in<br />

possession of a Bachelor’s degree (MQF Level 6 with a minimum of 180<br />

ECTS) in addition to five years teaching experience.<br />

Course Description<br />

This module equips learners with knowledge,<br />

skills and competences to create effective schoolfamily-community<br />

links. Educators and school<br />

management teams have to respect the social and<br />

emotional needs of students when engaging with<br />

communities and families within the educational<br />

structure. These three components (school, family,<br />

community) are critical in the shaping and influence<br />

of the students’ education journey. As professionals,<br />

educators need to acknowledge that parents, as<br />

well as other members of the community, have<br />

knowledge and experiences that help equip the<br />

child with further resources.<br />

Visualising Ethics through Hypertext<br />

Course Description<br />

Many a time, people feel that their authenticity<br />

in discursive expression is limited, in large part<br />

by the rules and conventions of formal writing.<br />

The unilinear form of writing is quintessentially<br />

hierarchical, recycling and regenerating the<br />

mentality of meritocracy.<br />

This programme studies the effects of an innovative<br />

software developed specifically to augment<br />

discursive expressive capacities. Digitalising<br />

discursive expression in this manner encourages<br />

users to rethink and describe current events<br />

without the hindrance, rather than help, of the<br />

chronological format of unilinear writing.<br />

Thus, the programme will cover both the theoretical<br />

part as well as the practical part. The software<br />

is based on the philosophical hermeneutics as<br />

developed from the Heideggerian and Gadamerian<br />

understanding of interpretation. After presenting<br />

these theoretical underpinnings, the programme<br />

will shift to practical sessions whereby course<br />

participants will be introduced to the software.<br />

Entry Requirements<br />

Applicants interested in following this programme are to be in<br />

possession of an MQF Level 6 qualification.<br />

I followed<br />

the standalone<br />

module called<br />

“Visualising Ethics through<br />

Hypertext”. The programmer<br />

was present and helpful to help<br />

the group to familiarise with this new<br />

software, to work with and even he gave us<br />

the opportunity to express ourselves and adapt<br />

the software according to the needs. Personally,<br />

I found this software as a good tool, and it can be a<br />

resource for many professionals and departments. It was<br />

my first course at Ife and the course was well structured, as<br />

well as organised. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I am<br />

very looking forward to attend for another one.<br />

Encounters with Diversity in Education<br />

Course Description<br />

A society which is constantly changing requires<br />

educators to be conscious of the implications of<br />

these changes to the education system and to their<br />

practices. While diversity has always been present<br />

in schools, it has never been so pronounced and<br />

so challenging. One main reason is the increase<br />

of migrant students. Therefore, this course first<br />

explores what motivates or constrains people to<br />

migrate as well as the links between migration and<br />

sustainable development. This leads to the impact<br />

migration has on the host society, particularly<br />

on schools. This course then sequentially moves<br />

on to the exploration of a multicultural society<br />

and the theoretical and practical ways in which<br />

it can be addressed. Exclusion, assimilation,<br />

accommodation, integration, and politics of<br />

difference as multiculturalism are explored.<br />

Entry Requirements<br />

Applicants interested in following this programme are to satisfy one of<br />

the minimum eligibility criteria:<br />

1. An MQF Level 6 qualification; OR<br />

2. An MQF Level 5 qualification (minimum 60 ECTS) together with 3<br />

years relevant work experience.<br />

The normalised dominant values, social norms and<br />

practices tend to stigmatise and devalue those who<br />

do not fall within the boundaries of the hegemonic<br />

group. Thus, this course explores privilege, racism,<br />

stereotypes and prejudice, Islamophobia and hate<br />

speech both from a personal stance, which requires<br />

participants to reflect on their views and behaviour,<br />

as well as from an educational perspective.<br />

Course Description<br />

This module offers course participants the<br />

possibility to discuss how uncertainty can be used<br />

to spark curiosity and better prepare learners for<br />

the real world, where answers are seldom clearcut<br />

or permanent. Whether discovering black<br />

knowledge. If learners, citizens or employees can<br />

be made to feel comfortable with uncertainty<br />

they are more likely to be curious, creative and<br />

innovative in their thinking and doing. This module<br />

EDUCATOR SESSIONS<br />

In the<br />

last few<br />

years, I followed<br />

various educator<br />

sessions with the <strong>IfE</strong>. The<br />

flexibility and convenience<br />

brought by online learning enabled<br />

me, a full-time employee, to enrol in these<br />

courses. I chose the <strong>IfE</strong> because I wanted to<br />

gain more awareness and knowledge on several<br />

educational aspects and also gain useful, practical skills<br />

that I would be able to use in class. The sessions were all very<br />

interesting, practical, and interactive, including a lot of groupwork<br />

and discussions, which enabled engagement throughout. The lecturers<br />

were very professional, provided great insights on the discussed topics, and<br />

gave us useful tips that we can use in class. I believe that keeping abreast of<br />

the current literature is important in our work, and these educator sessions<br />

with the <strong>IfE</strong> helped me to stay up to date on numerous educational aspects.<br />

It is very convenient for me as a parent to follow the<br />

to choose from. These courses are beneficial not only for<br />

educators, but also for parents. I felt that the courses I<br />

attended were very engaging and I gained new insights<br />

with were very useful and helped me to delve deeper into<br />

different topics.<br />

SOCIAL CALENDAR OF EVENTS<br />

SOCIAL CALENDAR<br />

OF EVENTS<br />

With your best interest in mind, the <strong>IfE</strong> team has a stimulating calendar of<br />

events prepared to enhance your overall <strong>IfE</strong> experience. While we understand<br />

that juggling work, family, and studies can sometimes be stressful and<br />

overwhelming, there should always be time to unwind.<br />

Throughout your journey at the <strong>IfE</strong> you will<br />

have the opportunity to enjoy our teambuilding<br />

activities, and participate in the<br />

<strong>IfE</strong> Symposium and Education Research<br />

Week. You will also have the opportunity<br />

to attend our il-Klikka tal-Klassi events (a<br />

biannual social event whereby we will discuss<br />

some engaging topics together with a panel of<br />

expert guest speakers), and take part in events<br />

such as the World Philosophy Day (an<br />

opportunity for an open-floor discussion), and<br />

the Philosophy Movie Night (a fun social<br />

event where intelligent conversation is sparked<br />

through film over a glass of wine). Course<br />

participants will also have the chance to join the<br />

<strong>IfE</strong> Book club – regular meetups during which<br />

participants will discuss a major educational text<br />

and the relevance it has to educators today.<br />

The <strong>IfE</strong> believes that it is important that our<br />

country’s educators are not only educating our<br />

children in their fields, but are also exposed<br />

to unconventional topics that may indirectly<br />

affect the development of their students. It is for<br />

this reason that we have worked on creating a<br />

diverse calendar of events which incorporates<br />

both academic and social activities that seek to<br />

enhance your learning journey with the <strong>IfE</strong>.<br />
