You are in Education, are wanting to work on a Master's Degree, and don't know what issues in education could use some researching and synthesis? Brrr..... that's scary.

Well, I would write it on what you think should be done to better education for children/students. How could you not know what to write about? I'm going for my bachelor's, and I've already ahd to write at least 5. But I would write it on what you fell, but back it up with facts.

C'mon people, let's be constructive.......poor lolit is just trying to get some help! I would suggest going from a general topic and then getting more and more specific. So, maybe your general topic is: Academic Achievement Then you read a few articles on the topic and see some that have looked at the relationship between academic achievement and parental involvement--but with conflicting results! Then, you read a few articles on academic achievment and parental involvement, get an idea about what kind of research is being conducted, and maybe you see that nobody has compared the effects of parental involvement on student acheivement across races......so now we are getting more specific....race and the relationship between academic achievement parental involvement. Then, you remember that minority groups often have lower achievment than majority groups......hmmmm, now we are getting very specific......what about a study on the relationship between parental involvement and student achievement among African American or Hispanic students? Anyway, that is just an example, but the idea is to start with a general topic---a broad area you are interested in....then get more and more specific until you arrive at your specific study! Another good hint is to look at the end of published studies....they often have a paragraph or two on future research directions/unanswered questions (just as you will eventually have in your thesis)---these can be really good for generating ideas. Good luck!

You'd be able to teach K-12 school. I'd suggest that you focus your specialities/certifications in an area that works naturally with your undergraduate degree, and teach in that area. I'm thinking special ed, bilingual, etc.

You can be a better teacher and perhaps move into school administration./

Should I get a Masters in education or sociology

Should I get a Masters in education or sociology?
I am currently getting my BA in social science with a concentration in education and I am thinking about a minor in sociology. So I would like to know what I should master in; education or sociology. I do plan on getting my phd in one or the other, but I don't know what would be the best option. I want to be able to be a professor at a college/university teaching sociology. All help would be greatly appreciated.

sociology, especially with specifications with young or old. anything related to baby boomers will be a sure money maker. right now i am majoring in public realtions, but i plan to go to grad school for masters in public health administration so i can run a hospital. hollla!

In order to teach at a decent college or university, you will need a PhD in your field, which would be sociology. Don't bother with a degree in education, they are known for being pretty worthless because education graduate programs are notoriously easy to get into with very low requirements for admission. You might be able to teach community college or a very low-quality school with only a Master's, but if you want to teach at a good college/university just go get your PhD now.

Do you have to have a bachelor's in Education before you can get a Master's in that field

Do you have to have a bachelor's in Education before you can get a Master's in that field?
I have a Bachelor's in Criminal Justice and Social Work and I really would love to teach. Can I get a Master's in Education with this or would I have to start over and get a Bachelor's in Education first? Thanks Also, are there ANY online schools that are acceptable enough to get a job teaching high school or middle school?

no you do not have to have a bachelors in education to be a secondary education teacher, you just need the masters in that field (new york state anyway)

You can usually go straight for your MA. You may need to take a pre-req or two, but you do not need a BA in education to do an MA (this is true for most fields). You do need to make sure that you pick up a teaching credential for your state - each state is different - Now many traditional brick and mortar schools will have online or distance options for their education program (they design programs for current teachers). Be careful of the major online schools (e.g. phoenix) which may not prepare you for state license. Since you have a BSW you might also consider doing an MSW with a focus on school social work. DA

I had a BA in a biology field prior to earning my masters in curriculum. So no, another BA is not necessary. about online schools: You will have to check with your state. Each state must approve of any program. One of the problems is that all states require a student teaching portion. Online schools often do not have a presence in the state to place you and give individual feedback that is needed in student teaching.

Your Bachelors and Masters do not have to match. To teach, you don't need a Master's, but rather teaching certification. Some programs combine the certification and Master's. If you do not have a Bachelor's in an education field, you may need to go back and get one, unless you want to teach Criminal Justice and Social Work. There are many online schools. My coworker got her credential through University of Phoenix. We live in CA.
