The Master's programme in Science Education was opened in the graduate school of Universitas Syiah Kuala following a national mandate and a grant from the directorate general of higher education. It was developed through a partnership programme among universities, with a teacher-training university acting as mentor. The programme provides advanced study for those who teach science and wish to strengthen their teaching and research skills. Its profile describes a commitment to improving the quality of science education through study that is both academic and grounded in classroom practice. Students deepen their understanding of science teaching methods, classroom research and curriculum design during their study. The programme develops the research skills needed to study classroom practice, and graduates may continue to doctoral study in education.
