Successfully finishing a doctoral program requires the integration of a substantial and groundbreaking contribution that advances both professional practice and academic research. Moreover, doctoral candidates must attain recognition for their research within the academic community, achieved through international publications in esteemed journal systems such as ISI/SCOPUS.
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) in Education and Innovation Pedagogy is the highest academic degree in the educational and pedagogical science system, and this program is particularly complete as it combines the capabilities of the highest Doctor of Education (Ed.D) program in practical education and the capabilities of the Ph.D in Education program.
With a research model, doctoral candidates engage in research from the beginning. They are trained and guided to focus on research skills applied in the field of education and educational management in two stages: (1) the learning stage of research subjects to orient research and understand scientific research methods in education, and (2) the research and thesis formation stage of the Ph.D in Education under the guidance of faculty.
