Overview

About the Program

For the first time, the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE), which monitors teacher training, has granted permission to two colleges in Bengaluru to initiate a four-year integrated B.A.-B.Ed. and B.Sc.-B.Ed. programmes under Section 14(3) (a) of the NCTE Act.1993. Mount Carmel College, Autonomous is one of them. The programme is approved by NCTE and Government of Karnataka. It is further designed according to UGC and NCTE guidelines to maintain the quality of education imparted by students.
The programme is also, affiliated to Bengaluru Central University.
The course aims at integrating:

  • General studies comprising Social Science and Education leading to the amalgamation of the program.
  • Professional studies comprising the foundation of education, pedagogy of school subjects, practicum related to tasks and functions of the teacher.
  • The program content maintains a balance between theory and practice, coherently integrating components of the program representing a wide knowledge-base required for a secondary school teacher.

The four-year teacher training programme was earlier limited to the four Regional Colleges of Education (RIE). However, the present course which is modelled on similar guidelines, gives interested institutions an opportunity to initiate the programme.  The aim is to groom professionals early on and impart the required teaching skills.

PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES

The programme is specially designed with an objective to develop an understanding of the teaching-learning process at secondary school levels among student educators. It focuses on enabling student-teachers to reflect critically on perspectives of education and integrate holistically the theory and practices to facilitate active engagement of learners for better learning and knowledge creation.

The Integrated B.Ed. programme focuses on:

  • Creating sensitivity about language diversity in classroom and its role in the teaching-learning process
  • Developing an understanding in the context of education in contemporary Indian Society
  • Appreciating the role of context and socio-political realities about learners in facilitating learning in inclusive settings
  • Student-teachers to integrate and apply ICT in facilitating the teaching-learning process and in school management
  • Systematizing experiences and strengthening the professional competencies of student and teachers
  • Enabling student-teachers to acquire necessary competencies for organizing learning experiences
  • Developing an understanding of paradigm shift in conceptualizing disciplinary knowledge in the school curriculum
  • Identifying, challenging and overcoming gender inequalities in the school, classrooms, curricula, textbooks, social institutions, etc.
  • Developing competencies among student-teachers to select and use appropriate assessment strategies for facilitating learning
  • Engaging student-teachers with an understanding of the self, child, and school to establish close connections between different curricular areas
  • Providing first-hand experience of all the school activities by engaging student-teachers as interns in secondary/senior secondary schools.

Why an integrated course?

  • A builder of civilized society
  • The integrated degree is equivalent to a UG degree and Education degree (B.Ed.)  together, and can be availed by pursuing the program for four years, thereby helping students to save a year. (Whereas, on its own, the B.Ed. degree is of two years)
  • Students will be well-versed in general subjects and pedagogy
  • Immediate employment opportunities
  • Opens the doors to entrepreneurship

Highlights:
