Doctor of Philosophy (Education)

• Programme Synopsis

(R3/142/8/0004 (A6267) 08/27)

The multifaceted challenges facing 21st-century education require researchers who can collect and analyse information from a number of academic disciplines — history, psychology, engineering, education, science, and more — and translate these findings into transformative ideas for education policy reform and practice.

The PhD in Education at OUM is an interdisciplinary doctoral program designed to meet the needs of educators in various positions. The requirements for the PhD programme include completing coursework for two modules; Educational Research Methodology and Doctoral Seminar. Both these modules focus on developing knowledge and expertise in conducting high quality research using quantitative and qualitative methods. Candidates are also required to prepare a research proposal for the Proposal Defence, where both oral and written work will be assessed.

As a Ph.D. candidate, you will enjoy unrestricted access to OUM Digital Library where we have a collection of close to 100,000 e-books and an extensive collection of academic journals.

Our core mission in the PhD programme is to produce scholars who can and will use research to contribute to understanding and improving education. The programme prepares you to become a researcher in the area you are passionate about, guided by the goal of having a transformative impact on education research, policy, and practice. Graduates of the programme will be given opportunities to discover exemplary educational practices through research that may contribute to future advancement in education.

Assessment will be based on performance in the two modules and successful completion of the dissertation proposal and final thesis.

Tobias Edwards and Colleagues on the Link Between Intelligence and Political Beliefs

An article on  PsyPost titled “Genetic variations help explain the link between cognitive ability and liberalism,” quotes  Tobias Edwards on his research into political orientation and intelligence. Edwards and colleagues recently published an article titled “ Predicting Political Beliefs with Polygenic Scores for Cognitive Performance and Educational Attainment ” in the journal  Intelligence . They found that IQ and genetic markers of intelligence (polygenic scores) can help predict which of two siblings, raised under the same roof,  tends to hold more liberal beliefs.. 

The findings shed light on the relationship between political attitudes and intelligence, however, the authors caution that intelligence can only be one of many influences on political beliefs and that extraordinarily intelligent people have supported all sorts of beliefs. Edwards states that “from our study we cannot say that the beliefs of high IQ people tell us what is right to believe, but rather only what smart people choose to believe.”

Tobias Edwards is a graduate student in the Personality, Individual Differences, and Behavior Genetics (PIB) program in the Department of Psychology at the University of Minnesota. His adviser is Dr. James Lee.

GSEP Mourns the Loss of Professor Emeritus Barbara Ingram

It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of Barbara Ingram, professor emeritus at the Graduate School of Education and Psychology. 

Dr. Ingram served as a full-time faculty member at GSEP for 44 years, tracing her start back to the School of Professional Studies in 1978. A licensed psychologist and tenured professor of psychology, she earned a BA from Cornell University, two master’s degrees (an MEd from Boston College and an MA from the University of Southern California), and a PhD from the University of Southern California. An expert in clinical case formulation skills, she was the author of Clinical Case Formulations: Matching the Integrative Treatment Plan to the Client, as well as the chapter on “Case Formulation and Treatment Planning” in the APA Handbook of Clinical Psychology. She was a member of the Society for the Exploration of Psychotherapy Integration (SEPI) and a founding member of the Unified Psychotherapy Movement—clinicians, researchers, and theoreticians who seek to enhance practitioners’ capacity to draw from diverse approaches, processes, techniques, and research findings. She was also honored as a recipient of the Howard A. White Award for Teaching Excellence, Pepperdine University’s highest award for teaching. 

Dr. Barbara Ingram served with excellence within Pepperdine University and with distinction in the field of psychology, as evidenced by her scholarship, pedagogy, and service to the community. She was a beloved wife, stepmother, grandmother, aunt, and friend. 

Remembering Dr. Ingram, GSEP associate dean of psychology Robert deMayo shares, "Barbara was an outstanding teacher and mentor to generations of students in Psychology. She loved her students and brought passion and brilliance to her teaching. She advocated for the essential role of faculty in creating shared governance at our university and used her voice to speak for those who felt silenced. She was a cherished friend and made a lasting imprint on so many lives at Pepperdine University. May her memory be a blessing to our community.”

Her colleague and close friend, clinical professor Dr. Anat Cohen, shares, “Barbara was the first person who welcomed me to Pepperdine’s Encino campus. Over the years, we developed a friendship that I have always cherished. Barbara was generous with her time, and she was funny and full of energy. You could always count on her uncompromising honesty and brilliant mind. Barbara was a friend and mentor to me, and I know she will be missed by many people in our community whose lives she touched."

We are planning an online memorial for our community. Details to follow. For those who wish to send condolences to Dr. Ingram’s family and her beloved husband Paul, please send cards, notes, or letters to: Robert deMayo, Associate Dean of Psychology, Pepperdine GSEP, 6100 Center Drive, Los Angeles CA 90045; [email protected] . The office of the GSEP associate dean of psychology will forward all correspondence to Dr. Ingram’s family

We offer our deepest condolences to Dr. Ingram’s family, friends, and loved ones and keep them in our hearts. Please join us in praying for comfort for her family and remembering Dr. Ingram as a beloved and valued member of our Pepperdine community.
