The introductory module to the Doctorate in Education focuses on knowledge and policy in educational practice. The first section of the module will critically explore the nature and forms of knowledge and the ways in which different kinds of knowledge are developed and communicated. There will be a particular focus on knowledge-of and -for practice. The module then considers the development and implementation of educational policy. Participants will examine the different kinds of policy, the ways in which policy is developed and will use critical policy sociology to analyse how policies may advantage and disadvantage different groups within education.
