PREFACE
The destiny of India is now being shaped in her classrooms, the Education Commission
professed. The NPE 1986 also emphasized, The status of the teacher reflects the socio-cultural
ethos of the society; it is said that no people can rise above the level of its teachers. Such
exhortations are indeed expressions of significant role played by the teachers. Hence education
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 Honble 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.

PROGRAMME
1. INTRODUCTION

Bachelor of Education (B. Ed.) programme is a professional programme meant for

preparing teachers for upper primary or middle level (classes VI- VIII), secondary level
(classes IX-X) and senior secondary level (classes XI-XII)
It is well known that the quality of school education is determined primarily by teacher
competence, sensitivity and teacher motivation. It is common knowledge too that the
academic and professional standards of teachers are achieved only by a systematically
conceived teacher education programme. The Teacher Education mission is to empower
candidates to become ethical, knowledgeable, prepared individuals who can assume the
role of teacher in elementary and secondary schools as well as prepare them for further
career choices and advancement.
As envisioned by NCTE Regulation2014 the University of Calicut revises its teacher
education programme for preparing professionally empowered teachers. The Board of
Studies hopes that this revised Teacher Education Curriculum has tremendous potential to
imbue the prospective teachers with the aspirations, knowledge base, repertoire of
pedagogic capacities and human attitudes. The B.Ed. programme shall be introduced with
effect from academic year 2015-16.
The course structure offers a comprehensive coverage of themes and rigorous field
engagement with the child, school and community. The programme is comprised of three
broad inter-related curricular areas I) Perspectives in Education, II) Curriculum and
Pedagogic Studies, and III) Engagement with the Field. All the courses include in-built
field-based units of study and projects along with theoretical inputs from an
interdisciplinary perspective. Engagement with the Field is the curricular component that
is meant to holistically link all the courses across the programme, while it also includes
special courses for Enhancing Professional Capacities (EPC) of the student teachers.
Transaction of the courses is to be done using a variety of approaches, such as, case
studies, group presentations, projects, discussions on reflective journals, observations of
children, and interactions with the community in multiple socio cultural environments.

4. SCHEME OF EXAMINATION &INTERNAL ASSESSMENT.

Assessment of Students
Assessment of students for each subject will be done by internal continuous assessment
and end semester examinations. Internal assessment shall be conducted throughout the
semester. It shall be based on internal examinations, assignments (such as Tasks and
assignments that run through all courses.) as specified in the syllabus. End-semester
examinations of theory subjects will be conducted by the University and those of all
practical subjects will be conducted at institutional level.
There shall be End Semester University Examinations in 1st, 2 nd and 4th semesters. 3rd
semester is an exclusive Practical semester and hence there will be no End Semester
University Examinations for theory in the 3rd semester. However results of the Practical
courses internally evaluated will be published by the university. End-semester
examinations will be conducted only once in a year; failed candidates will have to appear
for the end-semester examinations along with regular students of the next batch. To ensure
transparency of the evaluation process, the student should be made aware of the criteria /
indicators of assessment well in advance and the internal assessment marks awarded to the
students in each course (theory and practical) shall be published on the notice board at
least one week before the commencement of external examination so as to enable the
students to report any corrections. There shall not be any chance for improvement for
internal marks. There shall be no separate minimum for internal assessment of theory
courses. Students may seek redress of grievances of internal evaluation at the teacher
educator level or at the college evaluation committee level. The consolidated mark lists of
all courses of a semester shall be submitted to the University immediately after the closure
of each semester
Assessment in Theory Subjects
The ratio of internal to external examination for theory courses is 20:80.
The marks allotted for internal continuous assessment and end-semester university
examinations shall be 20 marks and 80 marks respectively with a maximum of 100
marks for each theory subject with full weightage and shall be 10 marks and 40 marks
respectively with a maximum of 50 marks for each theory subject with half weightage.
Internal evaluation: The internal evaluation of Theory courses shall be based on
predetermined transparent system involving periodic written tests, practicum/tasks and
assignments. The weightage to award internal continuous assessment marks should be as
follows:
Test papers (minimum two for 100 marks courses and one for50 marks courses) 50%

EDU 101 COURSE ON EPC 1: READING AND REFLECTING ON

TEXTS
(30 Hours -30 Marks)

Objectives:Upon completion of this course, the student teacher will:

Improve his/her proficiency in reading, writing, thinking, and communicating in
the language of instruction
Develop an interest in reading
Improve his/her ability to understand instruction
This course will serve as a foundation to enable B.Ed. students to read and respond to a
variety of texts in different ways and also learn to think together, depending on the text
and the purposes of reading. Responses may be personal or creative or critical or all of
these together. Students will also develop metacognitive awareness to become conscious
of their own thinking processes as they grapple with diverse texts. In other words, this
course will enable student-teachers to enhance their capacities as readers and writers by
becoming participants in the process of reading. The aim is to engage with the readings
interactively- individually and in small groups. This involves framing questions to think
about, while preparing to read something, reading a text, and reflexively placing what one
has read in the context of both the texts and ones own experiences.
This course offers opportunities to read a wide variety of texts, including empirical,
conceptual, and historical work, policy documents, studies about schools, teaching,
learning, and about different peoples experiences of all of these. The course will also
include narrative texts, expository texts from diverse sources, including autobiographical
narratives, field notes, ethnographies, etc. to address different types of reading skills and
strategies.
For expository texts, they will learn to make predictions, check their predictions, answer
questions and then summarize or retell what theyve read .Students will analyze various
text structures to see how these contribute to the comprehension of a text. These readings
will also provide the context for writing. Combining reading and writing leads to the
93

Page 101 of 313

development of critical skills. Student-teachers will get opportunities to write with a sense
of purpose and audience, through tasks such as, responding to a text with ones own
opinions or writing within the context of others ideas.
Tasks -5x6=30 marks
1) Engaging with narrative and descriptive accounts ( 6 marks )
The selected texts could include stories or chapters from fiction, dramatic incidents, vivid
descriptive accounts, or even well produced comic strip stories.
Suggested Activities: Reading for comprehending and visualizing the account (individual
+ group reading and discussion/explanation) Re-telling the account - in ones own
words/from different points of view (taking turns in a smaller group) Narrating/describing
a related account from ones life experience (in front of a smaller group) Discussion of
characters and situations sharing interpretations and points of view (in a smaller group)
Writing based on the text eg. Summary of a scene, extrapolation of story, converting a
situation into a dialogue etc. (individual task)
2) Engaging with popular subject-based expository writing (6 marks )
The selected texts could include articles, biographical writing, or extracts from popular
nonfiction writing, with themes that are drawn from the subject areas of the student
teachers (various sciences, mathematics, history, geography, literature/language pieces)
For this unit, the student teachers should work in groups divided according to their
subjects, within which different texts could be read by different pairs of student teachers.
Suggested Activities: Reading to extract overall meaning, information, subject knowledge
(guided reading in pairs and simple note making) Identifying major concepts and ideas
involved and making notes on these in some schematic form - flow diagram, tree diagram,
mind map etc. (guided working in pairs) Explaining the gist of the text/topic to others (in
the larger subject group) Attending to writing style, subject-specific vocabulary and
perspective or reference frame in which different topics are presented this will vary
across subjects and texts, and requires some interpretative skills for placing the context
of each text (group discussion and sharing) Writing a review or a summary of the text,
with comments and opinions (individual task)
3) Engaging with journalistic writing (6 marks)
The selected texts would include newspaper or magazine articles on topics of
contemporary interest. Student teachers can be grouped randomly for this unit. Suggested
Activities: Using reading strategies such as scanning, skimming and reading for extracting
information as appropriate for initial reading of articles (guided individual task)
94

Page 102 of 313

Analysis of structure of the article, identifying sub-headings, key words, sequencing of

ideas, use of concrete details, illustrations and/or statistical representations etc. (guided
working in pairs) Critical reading for attending to framing of the article, point(s) of view
presented, possible biases or slants (small group discussion) Researching and writing
articles on topics of local interest (working to produce a local interest magazine)
4) Engaging with subject-related reference books (6 marks)
The student teachers should work in groups divided according to their subjects. Within

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 students 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.
Objectives
To observe children and the teaching learning process in a systematic manner.
To understand the content and pedagogical principles, issues and problems related to
teaching
To develop a repertoire of resources which can be used by the intern
later in her teaching textbooks,
childrens literature, activities, games, and
excursions
To participate in
teaching school subjects for the children of Class VI to X.
To
experience the school in its totality
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.
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
To be able to innovate within existing systemic limitation
To critically reflect on her own school experiences and keep records of the same.
To learn to assess different aspects of childrens learning without a focus only on
Achievement.
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

178

Page 186 of 313

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 behaviour, 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.
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
179

Page 187 of 313

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.

EDU.302. 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 cocurricular or extra-curricular. This has significant implications for the role of art, music
and drama in education, to nurture childrens 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
181

Page 189 of 313

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 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 teachinglearning 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 childrens 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 childrens 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

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
ICT-aided learning, to help student-teachers interpret and adapt ICTs in line with
educational aims and principles. It will explore ICTs along three broad strands; teachinglearning, 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 pre-service 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. 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 (3x10=30 marks)
(i) Workshop on ICT Integration with Pedagogy
(ii) Workshop on Digital Text Books/ e-resourses
(iii) Workshop on e-content development

EDU.402. 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 socialrelational 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 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 ones 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 ones
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 ones
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 ones 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.

There is no standard prescribed material for these workshops. The professional experts
are expected to engage with the students with specially designed activities. These could be

characteristics and are rooted within the context of students 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.
