2009年夏天，在英国引进了教学和学习硕士（MTL）。由学校培训和发展署全额资助的MTL旨在提高教学质量和学校标准。在本文中，我们讨论了MTL可能意味着在职教师教育和初始教师培训。我们探讨了与MTL的结构和交付有关的问题，包括其内容的标准化和个性化之间的紧张关系，以及缺乏对研究的关注以及其声誉和资格上诉的成本。此外，我们质疑新获得资格的教师在多大程度上愿意从参加MTL中受益，并考虑可用性标准如何可能引起公平问题。考虑到这些担忧，我们讨论了MTL的未来，以及工党的这项倡议是否有机会在保守党领导的联合政府的严厉紧缩时期证明自己。
Summer 2009 saw the introduction in England of the Masters in Teaching and Learning (MTL). Funded in full by the Training and Development Agency for Schools, the MTL aims to improve the quality of teaching and to raise standards in schools. In this paper we discuss what the MTL might mean both for in‐service teacher education and initial teacher training. We explore issues relating to the structure and delivery of MTL including the tension between standardisation and personalisation of its content as well as the lack of focus on research and the costs of this to its reputation and appeal of the qualification. Furthermore, we question the extent to which newly qualified teachers are ready to benefit from undertaking the MTL and consider how availability criteria may give rise to equity issues. With these concerns in mind we discuss the future of the MTL and whether this Labour initiative will have a chance to prove itself under a Conservative‐led coalition government at a time of severe austerity.
