Best Master's in Education
Reviews and rankings of the best master's in education programs, 5 topics for a master’s in education thesis.
Choosing to pursue a Master’s degree in education is a noble and rewarding undertaking. Your experience as an educator has cultivated your keen awareness to and understanding of issues impacting today’s students. To truly demonstrate your knowledge on these crucial issues, selecting a stellar thesis topic is of utmost importance.
Resource: Top 10 Best Online Master’s in Education Degree Programs (M.Ed.) 2016
Listed below are 5 topics that may inspire you when selecting a theme for your Master’s dissertation research:
1: Autism awareness in the classroom
Accommodating students with special needs and developing a learner-friendly classroom environment is undoubtedly one of the key elements of teaching. However, despite research conducted by the CDC suggesting that approximately 1 out of 68 children is on the autism spectrum, little progress has been made to ensure that public schools and accompanying curriculum adequately accommodate different needs. Furthermore, the stigma surrounding autism stems from a lack of understanding about the condition. Perhaps research into how to appropriately inform educators and students alike about autism would make for a more equitable, hospital learning environment. This would make a worthwhile Master’s thesis topic to undertake.
2: Nutrition and its effects on education
It is widely known that ‘you are what you eat.’ Unfortunately, many students in the United States do not have the opportunity to enjoy nutritious meals on a daily basis. It would be pertinent to gain a better understanding of nutrition’s role in students’ academic performance and overall wellbeing. Furthermore, examining meal programs provided in schools could showcase if students truly have access to foods which meet dietary and nutritional needs.
3: Utilizing technology in the classroom
Technological advances are becoming ever prevalent in our modern lives. Rather than ignore this reality, it would be beneficial for educators to embrace technology into the learning environment. For a Master’s thesis, one could examine various technological teaching tools and evaluate efficacy in the teaching environment. As children become exposed to technology at younger ages, learning to adapt to the changes in attention span and learning styles are highly critical to maintaining an engaging classroom.
4: After-school programs
Due to financial strains and governmental cutbacks in public school budgets, the future of after-school programs is becoming increasingly uncertain. The significance of providing a safe after-school environment as well as fostering a student’s interest or hobby cannot be overlooked. As an educator, you can demonstrate your understanding of after-school programs and the role they play in developing healthier, happier students (research further supported by the U.S. Federal Government ).
5: Incorporating meditation in the classroom
New age mindfulness practices are becoming all the rage these days. Many proponents attest to the magnificent calming and therapeutic benefits of a few minutes of silent meditation each day. Mindfulness training programs for teachers, such as Mindful Schools , boast that including meditation practices in the daily curriculum will ‘build attention, self-regulation, and empathy’. A research study would be highly valuable if it could accurately support or refute these claims.
These are just a few ideas to guide you on your path to obtaining your prestigious Master’s degree in Education. By selecting a thesis topic that is ideal for you, you will fully demonstrate your knowledge and proficiency as a skilled educator.

Master's Thesis Guide
A master’s thesis must show that the student truly applies a scientific approach to research and understands the main questions and doctrine related to the chosen topic.
The thesis must also put forth an original contribution, which, as an article, could be published without major corrections. The final text should range in length between 20,000 and 25,000 words but may not exceed 35,000 words (between 100 and 130 pages). The thesis is comprised of the following steps:
- Preparation of a research proposal
- Theoretical framework
- Methodology
- Data collection
- Data analysis
- Thesis preparation
- Thesis defence before a committee of professors
The thesis supervisor, or co-supervisor, will form a thesis committee to help guide the thesis, and may discuss the selection of thesis committee members with the student. The committee will comprise the following members:
- the thesis supervisor or co-supervisor;
- two other professors who have expertise in fields related to the thesis project. One member may be from another faculty.
The student is responsible for submitting through service request the Master's Thesis Committee Member List . This form will state the research topic along with the names of the thesis committee members.
The thesis proposal
The student drafts a thesis proposal, whose length should not exceed 20 pages (excluding tables and list of references) using the following conventions: 1.5 line spacing; Times New Roman, 12-point font; 2.5cm margins, numbered pages and single-side printing.
This document will include the following elements:
- statement of problem;
- theoretical or conceptual framework;
- literature review;
- one or more research questions;
- a methodological framework (e.g. a research plan, participants, tools, procedure);
- the contribution of the research to the field of education;
- a relevant and exhaustive list of references.
The order in which these elements are presented may vary.
Although there is no evaluation grid for the thesis proposal, the committee members will submit written comments to the thesis supervisor before the approval meeting between the thesis supervisor, the committee members and the student.
Thesis approval meeting
The thesis supervisor and the committee members will meet to discuss their evaluation of the thesis proposal with the student, who will be advised on how to improve the quality of his/her research.
In light of this discussion, the thesis committee will take one of the following decisions:
- Option 1: Satisfactory – The student may continue to conduct the research as proposed.
- Option 2: Unsatisfactory – The student may not continue to conduct the research as proposed. In such cases, the reasons for this decision are stated and the student must submit a revised version of the research proposal to the committee and another meeting of the committee must take place. A grade of NS will be entered in the students file.
The supervisor submits a duly completed Approval of the Thesis Proposal form to the academic secretariat at [email protected] , and a copy of the form is added to the student’s file.
Ethics approval
Once the research proposal has been approved, the student will submit a request for ethics approval for any research involving human subjects to the Office of Research Ethics and Integrity . Students who fail to comply with this requirement may be subject to academic sanctions.
When requesting ethics approval, the student will need to submit a duly signed copy of the Approval of the Thesis Proposal as proof that the thesis proposal has been approved.
Thesis format
1. monograph thesis.
The monograph thesis is the most usual form in the humanities and social sciences and it resembles a non-fiction book in that it deals in depth with a particular topic.
In a monograph thesis, a student presents a proposition or a “thesis” and the research findings to support it. The student reads existing research on the topics and may accept or reject it partially or totally.
The thesis usually follows a simple overall format: it begins with an introduction, which is followed by a main section or several sections, and ends with a conclusion. The students should keep these in mind but also remember that not all of these components will be required or even recommended for the particular field of study, so it is always best if they check with their own academic unit and supervisor.
For more information please consult the following link: Monograph components .
2. Article-format thesis
Students who wish to write a thesis in an article format must first notify the thesis supervisor, co-supervisor and thesis committee members, and obtain their approval. The student must submit a request at [email protected] for approval from the Faculty’s graduate studies director by checking of the appropriate box on the Approval of the Thesis Proposal form.
A thesis submitted in article format must meet the following requirements:
- The article must be substantial and equivalent to a monograph. The student must be the sole, or first and principle, author. If the student is not the sole author, the student must have contributed at least two-thirds of the original content and writing of the article. The student must formally specify his/her contribution. The article must be considered equivalent to a master’s thesis.
- The article may have been published during the student’s time as an active student. Alternatively, it may have been submitted for publication, or may be in the form of a manuscript ready for submission for publication, in a peer-reviewed academic journal. If the article has already been published, a copy of the article as published must be included in the thesis, with the permission of the journal. If the committee members require changes or additions, these must be added as an appendix, since a published article cannot be modified.
- The manuscript must be typed, with 1.5 line spacing in 12-point, Times New Roman font with 2.5cm margins. The manuscript must be page numbered, single-paged (printed on one side only) and unbound.
For more information please consult the following link: Components of a thesis in a series of articles.
Submission of the thesis for evaluation
Master’s students must submit a service request through uoZone four weeks before submitting their thesis for evaluation, failing to do so will delay the evaluation process. This request must include the following document:
- The List of examiners for the evaluation of the thesis form that includes at least two eligible internal examiners.
The service request will be sent to the program director for approval.
Review how to submit a service request.
Check the Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies website for information on thesis submission, evaluation and defence.

- Yahoo! Calendar
Shattuck Hall 1914 SW Park Ave, Portland, OR
In the School of Architecture, students pursuing the Master of Architecture degree engage in a yearlong investigation in which they select a topical issue, develop a body of research both within and outside the discipline of architecture, and create a complete and detailed architectural design response to the topic. Master of Architecture thesis projects at Portland State range from community-focused public interest design concepts to explorations of architectural materiality and sustainability, from the poetic to the concrete and everything in between. The thesis program culminates in oral presentations to a panel of invited jurors, followed by the production of a commemorative book detailing the students' research, design process, and inspiring results.
*Thesis Reviews have been pushed back one week and will now take place May 13-16.
