This brief video introduction from Fran Hunt (Development Education Research Centre) gives an outline of the 'Global Citizenship Education: Research, Policy and Practice' module of the Global Learning MA. This online module will aim to introduce learners to the key debates and discussions surrounding global citizenship education (GCE) within existing research and policy, as well as to explore examples of practice from around the world. It will provide students with an opportunity to explore and critique the relevant academic literature, and to consider how their learning might inform their own professional practice. This will include a focus on specific areas of GCE research, such as learning in the classroom, learning through personal experience (e.g. volunteering), and engagement in social action.

This brief video introduction from Clare Bentall (Development Education Research Centre) gives an outline of the 'Global Learning: Principles and Theoretical Perspectives' module of the Global Learning MA. Global learning is a pedagogical approach that encourages active engagement with a diverse, interdependent and fragile world, which encompasses approaches such as education for sustainable development and global citizenship education. This online module encourages critical engagement with current and diverse theoretical perspectives underpinning these approaches, and reflection by students on the links between these perspectives and their educational practice.

Practitioner researchers Jane Yates, Jen Simpson and Anne Roots present new research studies produced through the Connecting Classrooms through Global Learning (CCGL) Practitioner Research Fund. The CCGL Practitioner Research Fund was an initiative to support research by educators on a global learning and/ or school partnerships theme running 2019-2022. Its purpose was to encourage small-scale research to promote innovation in global learning and school partnerships, to inform best practice and to build capacity at school level. The studies provide valuable insights into global learning and school partnerships at a school level, with practitioners offering fresh perspectives on under-researched topics.
