Overview |

The Department of Curriculum Studies at the University of
Hawai'i at Mānoa (UHM) offers graduate studies leading
to the MEd in curriculum studies. It is designed to serve
licensed teachers who wish to learn about and inquire into
the areas of preschool/primary, elementary, middle level or
secondary education. The program prepares teachers to fill
a variety of teaching and resource roles at an advanced level.
However, it does not lead to licensure to teach.
The program is designed to help teachers with the following:
- to become better informed about the developmental and
educational needs of children and adolescents from various
types of communities;
- to gain skills in diagnostic and evaluation procedures
and in developing curriculum to meet individual and group
needs;
- to become more versatile in their employment of teaching
strategies;
- to become capable of providing leadership in a classroom,
school, or school system;
- to become more knowledgeable about issues, trends, and
research in their fields;
- to become better informed about new technology and its
applications; and
- to become more reflective in their professional practice.
Students may choose from the following areas of concentration:
- Pre-School / Primary
- Elementary, specializations in:
- art education
- health education
- language arts / literacy
- mathematics education
- multicultural education
- physical education
- science education
