reforms invariably accord highest priority to improve teacher effectiveness. The issue of quality, teacher education is closely tied up with the concern for the duration of initial teacher preparation, programmes. Over the last two decades in India, the issue of curriculum renewal and extended, duration of secondary stage teacher education has received serious attention. A perusal of the, reports of various commissions and committees like Kothari Commission, Chattopadhaya, commission and justice Verma committee indicate the preference for longer duration of B.Ed., programme. It was also endorsed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India. The NCTE made the, recommendation for beginning a two-year B.Ed. programme to prepare quality teachers as per, Regulation 2014. Accordingly, the two-year B.Ed. course aims at a complete development of the, student-teacher; particularly in knowledge and skills, in individual care of the learner and also in, methods and evaluation designed to facilitate learning. The curriculum retains the essence of, student-teachers being active participants in the learning process and prepares the student-teachers, for facing the emerging challenges resulting out of globalization and its consequences., The curriculum could not have been completed without the dedication of the13 core committee, members and 65 members of Expert committees. In the process of designing the B. Ed, curriculum the Board of Studies in Education (UG) received valuable inputs from teacher, educators through a series of intensive deliberations. The contribution of the IQAC of Farook, Training College in organizing a workshop for developing the draft curriculum is duly, acknowledged. . The draft curriculum was subsequently scrutinized by an expert committee., It is with profound respect and gratitude we retrospect the inspiring guidance and patronage, extended by the Honorable Vice Chancellor Dr.M. Abdul Salam in this venture. The Board of, Studies specially places on record its deep gratitude to Prof (Dr.) K. Sivarajan, Dean, Faculty of, Education for guiding us. We sincerely acknowledge the valuable contributions made by the, faculty members of Farook Training College, Calicut, NSS Training College, Ottappalam, IASE,, Thrissur and all other members of expert committee., The Board of Studies dedicates this new curriculum to the teacher education community., 27/05/2015, Prof.A.Faziluddin, Chairman, Board of Studies in Education (UG), , CONTENTS, Sl.No, , Sections, , Page No., , 1, , INTRODUCTION, , 4, , 2, , STRUCTURE OF THE B.

SEMESTER III, , Practical Courses, , EDU.301.SCHOOL INTERNSHIP (16 weeks- 260 Marks), The Internship Program forms an integral and important component of B.Ed. programme;, internship serves as a capstone experience that informs about and prepares them for the, expectations of and how to succeed in the profession. Student teaching internships is an essential, component for a student’s success as a professional teacher. Student Teaching Internships, provides students the opportunity to practice what has been learned on the university campus and,, more importantly, it is an opportunity to continue academic and professional growth., COURSE OBJECTIVES, 1. To observe children and the teaching learning process in a systematic manner., 2. To understand the content and pedagogical principles, issues and problems related to, teaching, 3. To develop a repertoire of resources which can be used by the intern later in her teaching–, textbooks, children’s literature, activities, games, and excursions, 4. To participate in teaching school subjects for the children of Class VI to X., 5. To experience the school in its totality, , 114, Page 115 of 189
Page 116 :
6. To assume the role of a regular teacher with appropriate planning taking into account the, diverse needs of students and the varying contexts that impact the teaching learning, process., 7. To acquire competencies and skills required for effective classroom teaching, class, management and evaluation of student learning, organization of co-curricular activities,, and working with the community, 8. To be able to innovate within existing systemic limitation, 9. To critically reflect on her own school experiences and keep records of the same., 10., To learn to assess different aspects of children’s learning without a focus only on, Achievement., 11., To develop proper professional attitudes, values and interests., To familiarize with the existing educational scenario of the respective states., The school internship is designed to enable the student-teachers to connect theory to, practice and to help them acquire a perspective regarding the aims of education within which their, previously acquired knowledge and practices can be systematized and structured to enable them, to teach effectively., The purpose of the internship programme is to provide the student (intern) with the, opportunity of undergoing a meaningful experience as a practitioner. As conceived, the, programme should be structured so that it is a partnership between the school and the college. The, intern must function as a regular teacher and therefore be immersed in all aspects of the school., During the school-internship the student teacher is expected to observe classroom teaching, of mentors/ peers, to get insights into student behavior, instructional practices, student learning,, learning environments and classroom management., , The student-teacher is expected to critically reflect and discuss these practices and engage, in activities like maintenance of records and registers, preparation of lesson and unit plans using, different artifacts, and technology, classroom management, activities related to school- community- parent, interface, and reflections on self-development and professionalization of teaching practice. The, other component of school-based activities to be carried out during internship is delivering the, lessons/units of pedagogic courses., The activities undertaken during the internship period will be presented in Portfolios and, Reflective Journals. The student-teachers are expected to record their experiences, observations, and conclusions regarding all the activities undertaken. . The intern is also expected to maintain a, daily reflective journal in which the intern will reflect on her practice and also attempt to draw, linkages between pedagogy and the theory courses s/he has studied. The major purpose of the, Reflective Journal is Reflection on-Action. Reflective Journal would include a brief description of, how the class was conducted, how learners responded, reflective statements about his, preparedness for the class, responses to learners’ questions, capacity to include learners sharing of, their experiences, responses towards their errors, difficulties in comprehending new ideas and, concepts, issues of discipline, organization and management of group, individual and group, activities etc., , 115, Page 116 of 189
Page 117 :
The internship will be organized for a continuous period of 16 weeks in selected schools., Necessary orientation to the cooperating teachers and headmasters will be organized at the, Institute. The School Internship Programme could include undertaking classroom-based research, projects; developing and maintaining resources in the Internship schools, administering of, diagnostic tests and identifying of learning difficulties, conducting a case study/action research,, organizing curricular and co-curricular activities etc. The intern must create democratic ethos,, where student autonomy is enhanced and all students are treated with fairness and with respect., For each student-teacher, internship should be conducted preferably in one school for the, entire 16 weeks. However, if the institute wants to provide an opportunity to understand the, context of teaching in a government and private school or the dynamics of teaching at elementary, and senior secondary levels, this period can be divided into two blocks. Internship may be, arranged in two blocks in such a way that teaching in one school at a particular level (for example, elementary or senior secondary) during one block, is followed by the teaching in another school, or the same school at another level during the second block. Under any circumstances, the, student-teacher should not be sent to more than two schools during her/his internship period., Graduate students can be assigned standards VI to X and for post graduates from VI to XII. Only, those students having Post Graduate degree in the concerned Optional Subject are permitted to, teach at Higher Secondary School level., The intern will necessarily have supervisory support from the faculty in the form of, subject supervision, who will also assess the intern. The intern will be required to develop unit, plans for which she must choose and design appropriate activities. A record of these plans must be, maintained. Assessment should be developmental in nature, with clear emphasis on growth of the, intern. Assessment Evaluation of performance during internship will be done on the basis of, assessment by institute supervisors, cooperating teachers, headmasters, records, reports and, student activities/assignments. Post-internship Activities and Follow-up activities are to be taken, up by the Institute., GUIDELINES FOR SCHOOL INTERNSHIP, 1. The internship is to be organized as a single block program for a continuous period of 16, , weeks -80 days in selected schools., 2. For each student-teacher, internship should be conducted preferably in one school for the, , entire 16 weeks -80 days, 3. Students should be assigned classes in any two different standards that too in two, , different levels viz. elementary, secondary or senior secondary, 4. For student-teachers, classes spread over VI to X., 5. For post graduate student-teachers, classes spread over VI to XII. (Only those students, , having Post Graduate degree in the concerned Optional Subject are permitted to teach at, Higher Secondary School level.), 6. For student-teachers of Commerce and Computer Science, classes spread over XI to XII., , 116, Page 117 of 189

COURSE ON EPC 2: DRAMA AND ART IN EDUCATION (30 Hours- 30 Marks), Transformational education involves reflection, introspection and action, with a deep, relationship between the head, heart and hand. The National Curricular Framework 2005 (NCF), reminds us that the school curriculum must integrate various domains of knowledge, so that the, ‘curricular’ encompasses all, and is not separated from the co-curricular or extra-curricular. This, has significant implications for the role of art, music and drama in education, to nurture children’s, creativity and aesthetic sensibilities., Learning is enhanced through Drama in Education which helps learners to extend their, awareness, through multiple perspectives, to look at reality through fantasy, and to predict, everyday situations in order to cope with unpredictable unsettling experiences. Drama in, Education transcends the here and now, to travel through time - to the past, to the future, while it, also allows us to freeze time. Thus we can live or relive moments and evoke or even recreate, situations that can help us accept them better. Drama in Education is not merely doing theatrics or, ‘acting’ in a superficial manner, but is for creating that ‘dramatic pressure’ or tension, where the, student would arrive at a .problem or an understanding in a new way, The challenge is for prospective teachers to understand the medium, in order to transpose, learners into a different time and space, to shape their consciousness through introspection and, imagined collective experience. For instance, activities such as ‘hot seating’ can be used to raise, critical questions addressed to characters from the textbook or those in history, to think about, significant developments within diverse social contexts. This also helps to stretch the learner into, areas of ‘discomfort’ and ‘confusion’, to then seek resolution, clarity and understanding. In the, present context where children are growing up in starkly segregated environments, bounded by, caste, class, religion or gender, drama must be used to potentially interrogate these categories Who is the other? Why? How is the process of ‘othering’ happening in different lives? Mere, moral sermons do not help build sensitivities. The ability to feel empathy for and relate with the, other can be nurtured through drama based on experience, emotion and interpretation. It also, gives opportunities for learners to recognize their agency, for transformational action. Drama as, ‘critical pedagogy’ can move beyond the classroom, to invoke the collective consciousness and, involve the community to participate in educational and social change. Teachers will need to, , 119, Page 120 of 189
Page 121 :
experience different genres of street theatre that continue to engage with life, through folk and, contemporary traditions, improvising and critiquing, while mobilizing for transformative action, The course on Drama and Art in Education also helps in understanding the self and as a, form of self-expression for enhancing creativity. The components of fine arts aim to develop, aesthetic sensibilities in student-teachers and learn the use of art in teaching-learning Student, teachers will visit places of art, exhibitions and cultural festivals. Encouragement needs to be, given to understand local culture and art forms and interpret art works, movies and other Media., Likewise other activities can be used to build trust and cooperation, the sense of responsibility,, pursuing tasks collectively and exploring varied perspectives. Be it visual or performing, the, practice of art deepens children’s ability for perception, reflection and expression, providing them, with alternative languages to experience and communicate subtle, diverse and unfamiliar, territories, from human to the larger consciousness of nature The challenge of teacher-educators, lies not only in expanding the landscapes of children’s art, but in also perceiving their world, their, artistic processes and then from that sense of understanding, explore ways of assessing their work., Suggested Tasks, Workshop for working with artists/artisans to learn basics of Arts and Crafts and, understand its pedagogical significance. The Arts forms learnt during the course should be, relevant to the student-teachers in their profession. Activities, such as drawing, and painting, clay, modeling, pottery, mixed collage, woodcraft, toy making, theatre, puppetry, dance, music, etc., The focus of the workshops should be on how art forms can be used as tool/ method of teachinglearning of Languages, Social Sciences, Mathematics and Sciences.(10 marks), Participation and performance in any one PERFORMING ARTS: DANCE, MUSIC,, THEATRE AND PUPPETRY, -of the Regional Arts forms keeping in mind the integrated, approach (6 marks), • Planning a stage-setting for a performance/presentation by the student-teacher.

SEMESTER IV, B. .Practical Courses, , EDU.401 COURSE ON EPC 3: CRITICAL UNDERSTANDING OF ICT (30 Hours- 30, Marks), Preparing teachers to use technology in a classroom is an important step for ICT enabled, education in the country. This course will focus on moving beyond computer literacy and ICTaided learning, to help student-teachers interpret and adapt ICTs in line with educational aims and, principles. It will explore ICTs along three broad strands; teaching-learning, administrative and, academic support systems, and broader implications for society., ICTs have often been seen as a stand-alone subject, consisting of a finite set of proprietary, applications, taught to children directly by technology experts, bypassing teachers, which has, diluted possibilities of teacher's ownership, enhancement of expertise and engagement. Seeing, ICTs as an important curricular resource and an integral part of education, according primacy to, the role of the teacher, ensuring public ownership of digital resources created and used in, education, taking a critical perspective on ICTs as well as promoting constructivist approaches, that privilege participation and co-creation over mere access, are principles that the course will, help teachers explore. Applying these principles can support Teacher Professional Development, models that are self-directed, need-based, decentralized, and collaborative and peer-learning, based, and continuous, in line with the NCFTE, 2009 vision for teacher education, Since ICTs are technologies, along with developing such understanding, the course will also help, student-teachers to learn integrating technology tools for teaching learning, material development,, developing collaborative networks for sharing and learning. This learning can help integrate preservice and in-service teacher education, address traditional challenges of teacher isolation and, need for adequate and appropriate learning resource materials The course will explore use of, ICTs to simplify record keeping, information management in education administration., 177, Page 178 of 189
Page 179 :
Communication and information sharing/ storing are basic social processes; new digital, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), by making these easier and cheaper, have, significantly impacted and are impacting our socio-cultural, political and economic spheres. The, course will help student-teachers to develop an understanding of the shift from an 'industrial, society' to a 'postindustrial information society', where the production and consumption of, information is easier/ simpler as well as important. This change has positive and negative, implications and possibilities for democracy, equity and social justice, all core components of our, educational aims., The course will help student-teachers reflect critically and act responsibly to prevent how, ICTs are used to support centralization and proprietisation of larger knowledge structures; it will, show student-teachers how ICTs can be adapted to support decentralized structures and processes,, as well as build the 'digital public' to make education a participatory and emancipatory process, Tasks – Conduct of Three workshops (3x10=30 marks), 1.

COURSE ON EPC 4: UNDERSTANDING THE SELF (30 Hours- 30 Marks), The aim of the course is to develop understanding of student-teachers about themselves – the, development of the self as a person and as a teacher, through conscious ongoing reflection. The, course would be transacted through a workshop mode by more than one resource persons., The course will address aspects of development of the inner self and the professional identity of a, teacher. This shall enable student-teachers to develop sensibilities, dispositions, and skills that, will later help them in facilitating the personal growth of their own students while they teach. It is, important for student-teachers to develop social-relational sensitivity and effective, communication skills, including the ability to listen and observe (Hall & Hall, 2003). The course, will enable student-teachers to develop a holistic and integrated understanding of the human self, 180, Page 181 of 189
Page 182 :
and personality; to build resilience within to deal with conflicts at different levels and learn to, create teams to draw upon collective strengths., As an individual in society one has different identities – gender, relational, cultural – and it is, important to address one’s implicit beliefs, stereotypes and prejudices resulting from these, identities. It is important for the student-teachers to be aware of their identities and the political,, historical, and social forces that shape them. The course will make use of personal narratives, life, stories, group interactions, film reviews – to help explore one’s dreams, aspirations, concerns,, through varied forms of self-expression, including poetry and humour, creative movement,, aesthetic representations, etc., Yoga will also be introduced as an important component to enhance abilities of body and mind,, and promote sensibilities that help to live in peace and harmony with one’s surroundings. Students, will appreciate the philosophy of yoga and its role in well-being. They will learn the practice of, yoga and how to use it in different contexts., The course shall also focus on revisiting one’s childhood experiences – influences, limitations and, potentials – while empathizing with other childhoods, and also the childhood experiences of one's, peers. The following methodologies for the transaction of the course could be used in interactive, sessions, Sharing case studies/biographies/stories of different children who are raised in different, circumstances and how this affected their sense of self and identity formation., Watching a movie/documentary where the protagonist undergoes trials and finally discovers, her/his potential despite odds., Issues of contemporary adolescence/youth need to be taken up as student-teachers first need to, understand themselves; and themselves in relation to their students and classroom situations., Different modes of expression can be used in each of the sessions (so that each of the students, get a chance to express herself through any of the modes that they are comfortable in) and at the, end of the year, the resource person and the coordinating faculty can reflect back on whether all, modes of expression were included through the sessions of not., The exercise of developing reflective journals and providing regular feedback on those journals, can also be used here, , Broad areas, , Introduction, , Values and, self image, , Main, objectives, , Trust, building, for, future, , Opening self,, reflection,, culture for, , Individual, and, collective, selves, Team, building,, respecting,, , Connecting self-society, , Social, interface, , Understanding Becoming, social, the change, structures, agent –, 181, Page 182 of 189

The professional experts, are expected to engage with the students with specially designed activities. These could be, based on the facilitator’s personal integration and unique individual and group, characteristics and are rooted within the context of student’s lives and contemporary, realities. It is suggested that the students be given space to explore and articulate their, own sense of life and its issues. They can be encouraged to think a fresh on issues that, most closely concern them and use creativity and imagination to develop a perspective on, them. The resource materials are an aid in this process. The resource materials can also, include newspaper/web articles on contemporary concerns and movies/documentaries, and other audio-visual materials. There is a suggested list of resource materials, which, should be contextualized and updated periodically., Suggested Tasks (5x 6=30 Marks), Writing Tasks - (i) Writing a reflective statement of aspirations and expectations, based on one’s, learning so far in the course critically evaluate oneself as a ‘prospective teacher’., OR Essay: Identify one social issue/problem of key significance, and reflect on:, a) Ways in which current forms of ‘schooling’ may be contributing to sustaining this, and, b) how ‘school education’ and ‘classroom practice’ may be realigned to ameliorate this., Workshop 1-A significant event or experience in life, Investigating the texture of one key event/experience (working with partners) –, Sharing and assimilating a range of experiences, Workshop 2: Gender and upbringing, Suggested workshop themes, Telling our own ‘gendered’ stories, En-culturing ‘gendered’ roles in upbringing within different kinds of families –Case studies, 182, Page 183 of 189
