📚 Cambridge PDQ and UCL Institute of Education (IOE) Partnership | 剑桥PDQ课程与伦敦大学学院教育研究院（IOE）携手合作
The Cambridge Professional Development Qualifications (PDQ) are now accredited by the UCL Institute of Education (IOE), one of the world's leading centres for education research. This accreditation lifts the value of the PDQ considerably and opens a much wider progression pathway for teachers and school leaders who study for it.
剑桥教师专业发展资格证书（Cambridge Professional Development Qualifications，简称剑桥PDQ）现已通过伦敦大学学院（UCL）教育研究院（IOE）的认证，含金量大幅提升，为学习者开辟了更广阔的进阶路径。UCL教育研究院是全球顶尖的教育研究机构之一，这项认证让剑桥PDQ在高等教育体系中的位置更加清晰。
1. What the Partnership Means | 这一合作意味着什么
In practical terms, the partnership means that the Cambridge PDQ Certificate and Diploma are no longer simply in-service training awards. They are quality-assured professional qualifications that sit inside a recognised higher education framework, with defined credit values and defined levels.
从实际意义上说，这一合作意味着剑桥PDQ证书课程与文凭课程不再只是校内在职培训的证明。它们成为经过质量把关的专业资格，被纳入受认可的高等教育框架之中，拥有明确的学分价值和明确的级别定位。
For a teacher or a school leader, that changes three things: the qualification travels better across borders, it is easier to explain to employers and ministries, and it connects directly to further study at postgraduate level.
对教师或学校领导而言，这带来三点改变：资格证书的跨境认可度更高；向雇主和教育主管部门解释时更清晰；并且可以直接对接研究生阶段的进一步学习。
- Accredited | 获得认证： Cambridge PDQ courses and assessment processes are quality-assured by UCL IOE. 剑桥PDQ课程与评估流程由UCL教育研究院进行质量把关。
- Benchmarked | 拥有基准： The qualifications are mapped to the FHEQ in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. 课程以英格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰高等教育资格框架（FHEQ）为基准。
- Progressive | 形成进阶： Successful learners can move on to level 6 and level 7 programmes. 学习者可继续修读第6级和第7级课程。
2. Why UCL IOE Accreditation Matters | UCL教育研究院认证为何重要
The UCL Institute of Education is one of the most respected education research centres in the world. In the QS World University Rankings by Subject, its education discipline was ranked first in the world in both 2014 and 2015, and it has remained among the very top ever since. Its research programmes, teacher training and leadership development work are widely praised.
UCL教育研究院是全球最受尊敬的教育研究中心之一。在QS世界大学学科排名中，其教育学在2014年和2015年均位居世界第一，此后也一直稳居全球最顶尖行列。旗下的教育研究、教师培训和领导力发展项目备受赞誉。
Working with the UCL IOE therefore allows us to offer an excellent Cambridge PDQ programme, so that teachers, school leaders and school institutions get the maximum value from their professional development certification. The accreditation is not a marketing label - it is a guarantee that an external, expert body has examined what learners study and how they are assessed.
正因如此，与UCL教育研究院的合作使我们能够提供卓越的剑桥PDQ课程，让教师、学校领导以及学校机构在专业发展认证中收获最大价值。这项认证不是一句宣传口号，而是由外部专业机构对"学习者学什么"与"如何被评价"进行审查后给出的保证。
3. What the Accreditation Covers | 认证涵盖哪些维度
The UCL Institute of Education quality-assures the Cambridge PDQ courses and the assessment processes attached to them, ensuring that they meet the requirements of the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA). The QAA is an independent body responsible for monitoring, guiding and setting standards in UK higher education, and for handling quality issues when they arise.
UCL教育研究院对剑桥PDQ课程及评估流程进行质量把关，确保其符合英国高等教育质量保障署（QAA）的要求。QAA是一个独立机构，专门负责英国高等教育质量的监督、指导、标准制定以及问题处理。
In other words, the accreditation covers both the design of the programme and the way achievement is judged. Course content, learning outcomes, assessment tasks and the evidence learners produce are all considered against an external benchmark rather than an internal one.
换言之，认证既覆盖课程设计，也覆盖成绩评定的方式。课程内容、学习成果、评估任务以及学习者提交的证据，都是对照外部基准而非内部标准来衡量的。
| Dimension | 维度 | What is checked | 审查内容 |
| Course design | 课程设计 | Content, structure and learning outcomes | 内容、结构与学习成果 |
| Assessment | 评估 | Tasks, criteria and evidence of achievement | 任务、标准与成果证据 |
| Standards | 标准 | Alignment with QAA requirements | 与QAA要求的一致性 |
| Level | 级别 | Mapping to FHEQ level and credit value | 与FHEQ级别及学分的对应 |
4. What Learners Must Demonstrate | 学习者需要证明什么能力
To be awarded the Cambridge PDQ Certificate or Diploma, you must demonstrate that you have reached the required level in your understanding, in your thinking and in your practice development. Knowledge alone is not enough.
想要获得剑桥PDQ证书或文凭，你必须证明自己在理解、思维和实践发展上达到了相应水平。仅仅掌握知识是不够的。
You must also show the analytical, discussion, communication and presentation skills needed to enter the next stage of professional study. These are the same academic skills that a master's-level programme will expect, which is precisely why the pathway works.
你还必须具备进入下一阶段专业学习所需的分析、讨论、沟通和演示能力。这些正是硕士阶段课程所要求的学术能力，也正因如此，这条进阶路径才能顺畅衔接。
- Understanding | 理解： Grasping the principles behind professional practice. 把握专业实践背后的原理。
- Thinking | 思维： Reflecting critically on your own and others' practice. 对自己与他人的实践进行批判性反思。
- Practice | 实践： Evidencing change and impact in the classroom or school. 用课堂或学校中的改变与影响提供证据。
- Communication | 沟通： Analysing, discussing and presenting to an academic standard. 以学术标准进行分析、讨论与演示。
5. The Benchmark: FHEQ | 参照基准：FHEQ
Cambridge PDQ courses are benchmarked against the Framework for Higher Education Qualifications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (FHEQ). This framework provides the basis for setting and assessing academic standards in higher education.
剑桥PDQ课程以英格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰高等教育资格框架（FHEQ）为基准。该框架为高等教育学术标准的制定与评估提供了依据。
The mapping is straightforward and easy to state. Completing the Cambridge PDQ Certificate is equivalent to 60 credits at FHEQ Level 4. Completing the Cambridge PDQ Diploma is equivalent to 60 credits at FHEQ Level 5.
对应关系非常清晰，也便于表述。完成剑桥PDQ证书课程，即等同于获得英格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰高等教育资格框架（FHEQ）第4级60个学分；完成剑桥PDQ文凭课程，则相当于达到该框架第5级60个学分的水平。
Cambridge PDQ Certificate = FHEQ Level 4, 60 credits | 剑桥PDQ证书 = FHEQ第4级，60学分
Cambridge PDQ Diploma = FHEQ Level 5, 60 credits | 剑桥PDQ文凭 = FHEQ第5级，60学分
Because the credit values are stated openly, schools and authorities can compare the PDQ with local qualifications using a common language rather than a description of hours attended.
由于学分值是公开说明的，学校和主管部门可以使用共同的"语言"把PDQ与本地资格进行比较，而不必依赖"上了多少课时"的描述。
6. Aligned with EQF and the Bologna Framework | 与EQF及博洛尼亚框架保持一致
The FHEQ is consistent with the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) and with the Framework for Qualifications of the European Higher Education Area (FQ-EHEA), also known as the Bologna framework.
英格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰高等教育资格框架（FHEQ）与欧洲资格框架（EQF）以及欧洲高等教育区资格框架（FQ-EHEA，亦称为"博洛尼亚认证框架"）保持一致。
This alignment matters for international schools. It means a qualification earned in Shanghai, Dubai or Nairobi can be read against the same reference points as one earned in London, so ministries, inspectorates and university admissions teams can make sense of it quickly.
这种一致性对国际学校尤为重要。这意味着在上海、迪拜或内罗毕取得的资格，可以与在伦敦取得的资格对照同一套参照点来解读，教育主管部门、督学机构和大学招生团队都能迅速理解其水平。
Further guidance on comparing qualifications across borders is published by the QAA in its guide on qualifications that can cross boundaries, available at qaa.ac.uk. A fuller picture of the UCL Institute of Education's programmes is available at ucl.ac.uk/ioe.
关于跨境资格比较的更多指引，可参阅QAA发布的资格跨境对照指南，网址为 qaa.ac.uk。有关UCL教育研究院课程的更多信息，请访问 ucl.ac.uk/ioe。
7. Global Recognition and Progression Routes | 全球认可与进阶路径
Because the Cambridge PDQ is accredited by the UCL Institute of Education and sits within an established higher education framework, it carries clear value. This means that authorities and institutions around the world recognise the relevance of the Cambridge PDQ qualification to local needs.
剑桥PDQ课程已获得UCL教育研究院认证，在既定的高等教育框架内拥有明确的价值。这意味着世界各地的权威部门和机构都会认可剑桥PDQ资格与本地需求的关联性。
It also means that teachers and school leaders who hold the PDQ Diploma can go on to study level 6 and level 7 courses, such as the UCL International Postgraduate Certificate in Education (iPgCE) or master's degrees in advanced educational practice. The UCL Institute of Education offers a rich set of progression options for international educators.
同时，这也意味着获得剑桥PDQ文凭的教师和学校领导可以进一步修读第6级和第7级相关课程，比如伦敦大学学院国际专业教育研究生证书（iPgCE）或高级教育实践硕士等学位课程。UCL教育研究院为国际教育工作者提供了丰富的进阶课程。

8. Studying Flexibly, Anywhere | 灵活的全球学习方式
As long as there is an internet connection, learners can study online and at a distance from anywhere in the world. This model delivers a genuinely flexible learning experience: students can choose to study on campus, online, in China, or through a blended approach.
只要有网络，学习者就能在世界任何地方进行在线远程学习。这种模式带来了真正灵活的学习体验，学生可以自由选择在校、在线、在中国学习，或采用混合学习的方式。
Flexibility is not only about location. It also concerns pace and focus. Schools can shape the programme around the priorities they have identified, whether that is early years practice, subject-specific pedagogy, inclusion or leadership development.
灵活性不仅体现在地点上，也体现在节奏和重点上。学校可以围绕自身确定的优先事项来设计课程，无论重点是早期教育实践、学科教学法、全纳教育还是领导力发展。
9. From PDQ Diploma to Master's Degree | 从PDQ文凭到硕士学位
The collaboration between Cambridge and the UCL Institute of Education lays out a clear progression route for professional development in Cambridge schools. It guides teachers and school leaders from completing the Cambridge PDQ Certificate through to the UCL Institute of Education's master's programmes.
剑桥大学与UCL教育研究院的合作，为剑桥学校的专业发展铺设了一条清晰的进阶路径——引导教师和学校领导从完成剑桥PDQ证书课程开始，逐步迈向UCL教育研究院的教育硕士课程。
After successfully completing the Cambridge PDQ Diploma, teachers and school leaders meet the entry requirements for the following programmes: the Graduate Diploma in Higher Education Practice, and the International Postgraduate Certificate in Education (iPgCE).
成功完成剑桥PDQ文凭课程后，教师和学校领导即满足以下课程的入学要求：高等教育实践研究生文凭课程，以及国际专业教育研究生证书（iPgCE）。
Both of these programmes are at level 6 and support distance learning. Students can choose full-time, part-time or online study according to their circumstances, arranging their learning and research flexibly. Level 7 distance learning programmes offered by the UCL Institute of Education include the MA Advanced Educational Practice and the highly regarded MA Education.
以上两门课程均属6级，支持远程学习。学生可根据情况选择全日制、非全日制或在线学习，灵活安排学习与研究。UCL教育研究院提供的7级远程学习课程包括高级教育实践硕士和声誉卓著的教育学硕士。
PDQ Certificate (Level 4) → PDQ Diploma (Level 5) → Level 6 → Level 7 Master's | 证书（4级）→ 文凭（5级）→ 6级 → 7级硕士
10. Voices from Schools and Governments | 来自学校与政府部门的声音
School leaders who have adopted the programme point to its flexibility as the decisive factor. Rather than importing a fixed course, schools can adapt the PDQ to the development needs they have already identified.
采用该课程的学校领导都指出，灵活性是他们选择它的决定性因素。学校不必照搬一套固定课程，而可以针对自身已经识别出的发展需求来调整PDQ。
"Cambridge PDQ is extremely flexible, which is the main reason we chose it. We can customise the programme to our own specific needs, so we can develop the very best teachers and leaders." - Jonathan Ellams, Professional Tutor, Parkside Federation Academies, Cambridge, UK.
"剑桥PDQ课程极其灵活，这正是我们选择它的主要原因。我们可以根据自身特定需求定制课程，从而培养最优秀的教师和领导者。"——英国剑桥派克德联邦学院专业辅导员 Jonathan Ellams（Parkside Federation Academies）。
"Thanks to the partnership with Cambridge, our education specialists can at last access internationally recognised qualification programmes through the PDQ series. We treat these qualifications as an important part of teachers' career development routes." - Shirley Wahler, Director of Education and Employment, St Helena Government.
"得益于与剑桥的合作，我们的教育专家终于可以通过PDQ系列接触到国际公认的资格证书课程。我们将这些资格证书课程作为教师职业发展路线的重要组成部分。"——圣赫勒拿政府教育与就业部主任 Shirley Wahler。
