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 />

<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 />

STUDENT AFFAIRS<br />
YOUR WELLBEING IS<br />
OUR PRIORITY<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 />
office promotes<br />

policies and procedures such as leave of<br />

One of the missions of the Student Affairs<br />
Office is to engage course participants in<br />
their academic journey by giving them a<br />
voice to come forward with new ideas<br />
and suggestions that would strengthen<br />
the overall academic experience<br />
whilst helping the <strong>IfE</strong> develop<br />

several representatives from the<br />
undergraduate and postgraduate<br />
cohorts who are selected through a selfnomination/election<br />
process. This channel<br />
gives the space and opportunity for course<br />
participants to highlight issues of concern<br />
and provide constructive feedback for further<br />
development. The Committee supports the<br />
Admissions Department in organising events<br />
and activities with the aim of creating an<br />
interesting and fun campus experience.<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 />
Years educators who already hold a higher<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 />
Learning and Care, offered jointly with<br />
MCAST, is the perfect stepping stone for Early<br />

professional career.<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 />

to understand what students will<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

Course Description<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 />

Inquiry-Based Learning in STEM Subjects<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 />
traditional learning environment, since inquirybased<br />
learning can be adapted for all age groups<br />
and validates the knowledge and experiences of<br />
students, including those from disadvantaged<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 />

Course Description<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 />

Engaging Families and the Community within Schools<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 />

Creative Approaches towards Addressing<br />
Controversial issues in STEM<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 />
holes, the concept of climate change or other<br />
controversial topics, learners and employees<br />
should be comfortable challenging the received<br />
knowledge. If learners, citizens or employees can<br />
be made to feel comfortable with uncertainty<br />
and they are proactive in challenging facts, then<br />
they are more likely to be curious, creative and<br />
innovative in their thinking and doing. This module<br />
will use current STEM-related international news as<br />
the basis for discussion.<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 />

I chose to do this course<br />
and other courses with <strong>IfE</strong> because<br />
the staff is very professional and well-prepared.<br />
It is very convenient for me as a parent to follow the<br />
courses online. The first time I accessed the online<br />
platform, I was very surprised to find a variety of courses<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 />
into teaching and parenting. The materials I was provided<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 />
