INTRODUCTION
“Teachers, I believe, are the most responsible and important members of society because their
professional efforts affect the fate of the earth."
--Helen Caldicott
“Teaching is the profession on which all other professions depend. Indeed, everybody who is
anybody was enabled to become somebody by a teacher.”
– Prof. Linda Darling – Hammond.
‘The destiny of the country is being shaped in her classrooms’ is not rhetoric. This focuses on the
crucial role, the teaching community is expected to play in making education qualitative. It is now
well-recognized that the most important single factor for the quality of education and thus for the
efficiency and quality of the pupils’ learning is the quality of the teachers’ training.Hence
considerable thought and attention have been given to teacher education by all societies throughout
the world.Decades ago, developing subject matter competency and pruning teaching skills in a
specific subject was the prime objective of teacher training programs. But with the advent of
globalization and the increasing convergence of digital technologies, educational practices have
undergone tremendous changes throughout the world to meet the challenges brought about by this
new landscape.
The teacher oftodayis not just one who canteach a specific subject, but one whopossess the
skills and competencies needed for the 21st century totransactthe contentand teachingnot just a
localstudent but even to astudent residing in the remotest corner of the world withwidely
varyinginterests and abilities. In short, teacher education has to function as a professional learning
under a global canvas.This requires an education system that adopts a holistic approach to developing
the whole person and his or her full potential. To ensure quality in a changing scenario and to keep at
par with national and global requirements and to keep in pace with national norms,a revision of the
current B.Ed. curriculum became imperative.Theprime objective of this revision, as done in the earlier
revision, was tomould aCurriculum toequipinprospective teachers theknowledge, skills, attitude,
competence and commitmenttoface the challenges of the21st century.
Guiding Principles
The University of Keralamodified its one year B. Ed. curriculum in2013 to equipthe
prospective teachers to cope up with the needs of the educational community ofthe 21st century. A
new thrust in the field of Educational Technology, introduction of the concept of Pedagogic &
Techno-pedagogic Content Knowledge Analysis, Evidence-based Performance Evaluation,
Development of Teacher competencies, Entrepreneurship in education, development of
professionalism ….area fewnovelaspectsthat was incorporated in the curriculum revision.
Moreoverthe need tolessen the burden of an over loaded curriculum,the lack of sufficient practical
orientation, reducing the gap between theory and practice,the inclusion ofobsolete content andafailure
to bein touch with the realitiesexisting in schools andthe requirements of the community, the quite
often heardlimitations were also given special care while moulding the curriculum. Quite
significantly, all these had been addressed and taken into consideration in the present revision also.
Special care has been taken in the present revision also to retain the best practices of the earlier
curriculum and to observe fully the NCTE New Regulations 2014. In fact,thiscurriculum revision was
also successful inbringing together the expertise of several practicing teachers at different stages in
identifying appropriate content and also in choosing popular instructional strategiesto transact the
curriculum.
As a guiding principle the National Council for Teacher Education itself has specified the
nature and content of the Two Year B.Ed. curriculum through ‘NCTE Regulations 2014’ and
associated publications. ‘The B. Ed. Curriculum shall be designed to integrate the study of subject
knowledge, human development, pedagogical knowledge and communication skills. The program
shall comprise three broad curricular areas: Perspectives in Education/core areas,Curriculum and
Pedagogic studies/Optional subjects, and Engagement with the field/Practical courses.Information and
Communication Technology(ICT), gender, yoga education, and disability/inclusive education shall
form an integral part of B. Ed curriculum’(NCTE Regulations 2014). A perusal of the reports of
various commissions and committees like NCERT,directions from UGC, observations of Justice
Verma Commission Report, NCFTE(2009), the recommendations and observations in this respect
ofseveral committees at the Regional, State and National levelshad guided the present attempt to a
large extent. The academic discussions resolvedto the view that the teacher education curriculum
should address a learning environment for the 21st century that enables students tocollaborate, share
best practices, integrate 21st century skills into classroom practices, provide access to quality learning
tools, technologies and resources leading to an expansion of the learning environment to the
community and an international setting, both face-to-face as well as online.

Definition of Terms
• Semester system: The semester system is a proactive system with program designed to be
completed gradually within a period covering multiples of half an academic year. It is a
pattern of the course in which the whole program is divided into different parts and each part
is intended for a specified period of time, called semesters. The present B.Ed. program
involves four semesters.
• Credit:Credit refers to the unit of value awarded for the successful completion of specific
courses, intended to indicate the quality of the course instruction in relation to the total
requirements for a course. Credit is a unit of input measured in terms of 'Study Hours'. It
represents the number of 'Study Hours' in a particular period of time devoted to various
aspects of the teaching-learning process such as attending classes, engaging in assignments,
projects, community activities, gathering information from library and internet sourcesand
other Practical Courses required by the course. Here, one credit for the B.Ed. program is
considered equivalent to 30 Study Hours and one credit carries 25 marks ( I credit-30
hours/25 marks). Students can earn and accumulate credits on the basis of the number and
types of tasks they have successfully completed.All the tasks that carry credit are compulsory.
• Grading: Grading is the process of applying standardized measurements of varying levels of
comprehension within a subject area. Assigning lettersfor indicating the performance of
students in each paper/area by giving due weightage according to the scale adopted.Seven
Point Scale is suggested for the grading purpose and Indirect Grading shall be used.In Indirect
Grading the students are assessed using conventional marking mode and the marks awarded
are converted into letter grades as per the weightage assigned. Marks will be converted to
respective Grades for whole programmes and courses only and not to each and every
component. ( e.g. EDU 0I – total marksearned forTheory& CEisconverted to Grade)
• Grade Point Average (GPA): The means of grades obtained on a number of subjects/tasks
for a specified period is the GPA.GPA is calculated by dividing the sum of the weighted
grade points obtained by a student in various subjects in a semester by the total number of
credits taken by him/her in thesemester. The value shall be rounded off to two decimal
places.
• Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA): CGPA is the value obtained by dividing the
total Credits for a Semester XSum of GPA for all the semesters by the total credits for the
entire course. The value shall be rounded off to two decimal places. CGPA will be converted
to letter grades for final results.
• Perspectives in Education(core papers) : Indicates the subjects of study under theoretical
discourses which are compulsory for all the students undergoing the course(EDU 01 to 03, 06
to 08 ,11 to 12, and 14)

board.Assessment of Report : Internal -40 marks, External – 40 marks, viva-voce-10
marks(external only)
EDU 401.3 – Reflective Journal:A student-teachergenerated locally standardized daily log book
maintained under the supervision of the mentors is visualized as a Reflective Journal (RJ). The RJ can
act as a document that carries an analytical account of the daily experiences of student-teachers during
school internship. The major purpose of the RJ is reflection-on-action. During the practice-teaching
the RJ depicts how different aspects of teaching are interconnected. Analysis and comments on
theory-practical integration, the nature and extend of support system utilization, process analysis of
success and failures management, interference and projection of future course of correction and
developmental actions etc. can function as elements in the design of the reflective journal.
ASSESSMENT : The academic growth of the student-teacher is assessed using various assessment
devices. For the theory courses, the proficiency of the student-teacher is evaluated through continuous
evaluation of the candidates progress and through the semester end examination.To make continuous
evaluation transparent, student-teachers should be made aware of the modus operandi of the
evaluation process and the assessment criteria. The level of performance of the student-teachers is to
be published periodically. The internal marks (CE ) of the Theory Courses (both Core and Optional
papers) and Practical Courses of Semester I, II, IIIsigned by the candidate shall be submitted to the
University within one week after the closingof each semester.DuringSemester IVthe same has to be
handed over to the Chairman, External Practical Board at the time of Practical examination.

• * Online examination of EDU-14& EDU-15: The online examination shall be conducted by

the university at the end of Semester IV in selected centre’s/Colleges of Teacher
Education.Individual colleges can select any one centre for the online examination of their
students. The duration of the examination will be one hour fifteen minutes(75 minutes) with
50 multiple choice question items.There will be four distracters to each question itemand the
students have to select the most appropriate choice.There will be provision for only one
attempt with each question. Students cannot erase/alter their answers once attempted.All the
rules with respect to online examination will be applicable here also.A question bank with
sufficientmultiple choice itemsshall be created separately for EDU-14 & EDU-15 as per the
respectivecurriculum requirements/components.From among them a test with 50 items
selected at random will be supplied to each student for EDU-14 & EDU-15. Students have to
answer 50 items in 75 minutes in both the examinations.
Tools for Assessment:-For assessing student performances Criteria / Performa based on rubrics have
to be developed for each task by the Teacher Educators to make assessment objective.A rubric is an
explicit set of criteria used for assessing a particular type of work or performance. A rubric is a
guideline for rating student performance.A rubric usually includes levels of potential achievement for
each criterion, and sometimes also includes work or performance samples that typify each of those
levels.Levels of achievement are often given numerical scores.A summary score for the work being
assessed may be produced by adding the scores for each criterion. Rubrics are typically displayed in
list or grid form. Within the rubric a series of criteria and traits are listed, usually followed by a Rating
Scale.
Modes of Assessment :
A. Theory:(50 marks each)-Theoretical discourses of Perspectives in Education (Core) and

Curriculum and Pedagogic Courses (Optional papers) for semester I, II& IIIwill be assessed
externally throughend semesterexaminations of the University.

Grading System (Seven Point Scale) :Grading: Grading is the process of applying standardized
measurements of varying levels of comprehension within a subject area. Assigning lettersfor
indicating the performance of students in each paper/area by giving due weightage according to the
scale adopted.A seven point scale is suggested here for the grading purpose and Indirect Grading shall
be used.In Indirect Grading the students are assessed using conventional marking mode and the marks
awarded for each subject/area are converted into letter grades as per the weightages assigned.Marks
for each Theory Courses (EDU-01 to 15) andRelated Practical Work (CE), Practical Courses (EDU
101, 102, 103, 201, 202, 203, 301, 302, 303 & 401) will be assessed andthe marks will be converted
into letter grades in a seven point scale. Then find the Grade point Average (GPA). The overall
performance of the students willbe assessed by finding the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)
and converting this CGPA into letter grades following the grade range in theseven point scale.
Intervals of marks in % Grade Grade Point Grade Range

90 and above A+ 7 6.30 – 7.00

Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA):CGPA is the value obtained by dividing (the total
credits for each semester) X (Sum of GPA for all the semesters) by (the total credits for all the
semesters). The value shall be rounded off to two decimal places. Then,

Grading of a Candidate: For a pass in theexamination the candidate should have obtained a
minimum of 50% marks (C+ grade) in aggregatein each semester with a separate minimum of 40%
marks in each Theory Paper, 40% when theory and CE are taken together and 50% for School
Internship of Semester III, IV and 50% marks for Minor research project/Action Research/Case
Study. There is no minimum for CE andother related Practical Courses.The overall grade of the
Course will be computed in terms of CGPA and respective letter grades will be awarded. The
minimum grade required for a pass is C+ in aggregate.
Curriculum Transaction
Strategies to be adopted
• The strategies proposed to be adopted in the transaction of the B. Ed. curriculum include
Lecture-cum-Discussion/Narration, Co-operative and Collaborative Learning, Focused
Reading and Reflection/Intellectual Discourses, Observation-Documentation-Analysis, ICT
Enabled Learning/Virtual Tours, Requirement Based Learning / Individualized Learning,
Multi Disciplinary Learning, Meaningful Verbal Expression, Seminars, Case Studies,
Workshop /Dramatization / Miming, Self Learning, Problem Based Learning, etc. With a
view to move away from theoretical discourses through lectures alone, the student teachers
will be required to be engaged in these various kinds of learning experience/modes of
learning engagements. These strategies have to be initiated by the mentor to guide the
student teachers to go through the processes to achieve the expected outcomes. Many
probable instructional strategies have been included with each content in the curriculum,
and the teacher educators have to adopt the most suitable ones to make the instruction
effective.
Mental Process :- the sequence of mental experiences-pedagogical-instructional-

experiential contexts felt/received/undergone by the student-teacher during/as a result of
various interactions viz. Intellectual dilemma, Cognitive challenge, Controlled listening,
Disequilibration and accommodation, Reflective intellectual discourses, Contemplative self
expression, Verbal and conflict management, Narrativeexpression of self experiences,
Field based mental imagery formation, Collective expression of consensus point and the
like constitute the learning process.
The mental processes involved in the learning of various subjects are presented below in
hierarchical order.
1. Retrieves/ recollects/ retells information

2. Readily makes connections to newinformation based on past experiences and formulates
initial ideas/ concepts
3. Detects similarities and differences
4. Classifies/ categorizes/ organizes information appropriately
5. Translates/ transfer knowledge or understanding and applies them in new situations
6. Establishes cause- effect relationship
7. Makes connection/ relates prior knowledge to new information/ applies reasoning and draw
inferences
8. Communicates knowledge/ understanding through different media
9. Imagines/fantasizes/ designs/ predicts based on received information
10. Judges / appraises/ evaluates the merits or demerits of an idea/ develops own solutions to a
problem
The list of strategies, learning processes etc are inconclusive. Teacher Educators have
the freedom to adopt various strategies, learning process, assessment techniques inaddition to
the onessuggested in the Syllabus grid. But each institution/ teacher educator has to ensure
thatactivities/ strategies suggested in the syllabus grid are followed during transaction of
curriculum.
Academic Calendar
A copy of the Academic Calendar specifying the schedule of activitiesand examinationduring the
course is given in appendix
* Orientation of the Curriculum (Academic Calendar Semester I )
The time provided for General Orientation is one week.The purpose of General Orientation for fresh
entrants to the B. Ed. Course is to spell out to the student teachers its academic and professional
aspects, and also the expectations of the institution from them in achieving the quality and standards
of the professional course.
Scope of the orientation:- When the student teachers join a teacher education institution, they are
anxious to know how to grapple with the problems and situations that are new to them and appear to
be challenging.Therefore, the orientation program should be organized at the beginning and be spread
over the whole of the first week, as it will lay the foundation of a successful course.It should cover the
following areas:
1. General Orientation :
a) About Teaching as a Profession
b) About the Institution
c) About the Faculty
2. About the B. Ed. Program
a) Theoretical Discourses and Related Practical Work (CE)

b) School internship/Practice Teaching
c) Practical Courses / Practicum (College/School/Community Based)
d) Assessment and Evaluation (both Internal and External)
e) Curricular and Co curricular Activities in the Institution.
Composition of the Curriculum
The curriculum of various subjectsfor B Ed are presentedin the orderSemester I, Semester II,
Semester III & Semester IV. Perspectives in Education(EDU01-03, 06-08, 11 & 12, 14 ) are Core
papers &Curriculum and Pedagogic Courses (EDU 04 –05, 09-10, 13, 15)are Optional subjects. The
components of the curriculum have been presented in the following order.
• Title of the Subject

• Objectives of teachingthe Subject
• Contents included in the subject

• References
The syllabus Grid contains four columns
1. Learning Outcomes – what the student-teacher may achieve.

2. Contents/Concepts and allied matters – concepts and knowledge of functional
dimensions of concepts.
3. Strategies/Approaches recommended for transaction – Initiated by the mentor.
4. Assessment and Evaluation – to assess the progress of the novices.
Perspectives of Education (core Papers).
Nine areas/papers (EDU – 01, 02, 03, 06, 07, 08, 11, 12 and 14) have been included under this
headingin order to develop among the student-teachersa realistic outlook about education and teacher
in the Indian society. The objectives of this program include:
The prospective teacher
• Understands the meaning, significance and perspectives of education in the socio-cultural

context.
• Understands the history, current issues and challenges of Indian Education and becomes
capable of solving various problems of the society.
• Understands the developmental processes and needs of children and adolescents, the role of
teacher in facilitating them.
• Acquaints with prominent Psychological principles, theories of development and learning,
and allied matters and make use of them in educational contexts.

competencies in teaching and classroom management.
Curriculum and Pedagogic Courses (Optional subjects)
Theoretical Base of the optional subject, (Techno) Pedagogic Content Knowledge Analysis,
Curriculum and Resources in Digital Era, Emerging Trends and Practices & Advanced Studies in the
subject area are the Optional Papers included under Curriculum and Pedagogic courses. Due
consideration has been given to incorporate the latest trends in learning and pedagogical theories that
touches various domains of the subject concerned. Keeping in mind the local-cultural-historical-
environmental and educational dimensions of Kerala an earnest effort has been undertaken to
incorporate the sprit of the 21st century knowledge based economic circumstances and its divergent
demands in the teacher education process through the respective course work of the optional paper. A
clear demarcation of the methodologyand the corresponding pedagogical analysis papers with respect
to the respective optional subjects have been worked out which help for meaningful transaction of the
optional curriculum. Revamping the concept of Pedagogical analysis to Pedagogic Content
Knowledge (PCK) and its contemporary version of Techno-Pedagogic Content Knowledge (TPCK)
Analysis have been accommodated to give a practical face to the curriculum. The following
illustration may make things more clear.
The objectives of optional education include:

• To make the novice teacher understand the scope and nature of teaching the subject at
different levels of learning.
• To introduce the challenging career of a teacher with a futuristic perspective, as an agent of
social change.
• To develop practical field based skills and experience in resource development and learning
experience designing while transacting the curriculum.
• To provide the required research based learning experience so as to undertake a habit of self
development through inquiry and investigation,
• To enrich the vision and capabilities of prospective teachers as reflective practitioners during
and after the pre-service education.
• To design instructional and learner support mechanism-print, non-print, electronic and digital-
appropriate for the learner needs and contextual requirements.
• To get a field based understanding of theories and principles of pupil assessment and
evaluation.
• To undertake a self-empowerment initiative in transacting the curriculum from a Techno-
Pedagogic content Knowledge perspective.
• To identify the Entrepreneurial opportunities of futuristic significance associated with the
subject.
