About the Department
The Department of Education functions with an objective of fostering creative thinking among teacher trainees for reconstruction of knowledge and developing innovative pedagogy. The department is staffed with teachers who are well qualified with multiple master degrees, NET/SLET and doctorate credentials.
The two year B Ed is a four semester programme as per the NCTE Regulations 2014, with either Kannada or English as the medium of instruction. The programme is designed in a way that the graduating teacher trainee understands the nature, purpose and philosophy of secondary education while developing sensitivity to socio-cultural issues of national concern as well as an understanding of the psychology of learners.
The programme consists of three broad curricular areas – Perspectives in Education, Curriculum and Pedagogic Studies and Engagement with the Field (EWF) including courses on Enhancing Professional Capacities (EPC). The practical courses are classified into three groups namely college based, community based and school based enabling student teachers to engage with children, school and their contexts.
