SYLLABUS AND SCHEME OF EXAMINATION ORDINANCES FOR

TWO-YEAR B. ED. (SECEONDARY PROGRAM

Preamble:
In India, the system of Teacher education comprises teacher education programmes
meant for preparing teachers for different stages of school education or for different
curricular areas across stages. The teacher education programme leading to the Bachelor
in Education (B. Ed.) aims at preparing teachers for the Secondary stage of education,
that is, classes‟ IX-XII. This stage covers children of 14-17 years. The RTE Act
highlights the need and importance of having well qualified and professionally trained
teachers to facilitate realization of the goals.

The secondary teacher is called upon to engage with children of 14-17 years in a variety
of socio-cultural contexts. The purpose of engagement is to facilitate children‟s learning
and development, for which the teacher must have thorough understanding of the child
and his process of learning and development and also of problems and rights of children.
Needless to say that the teacher is expected to develop the requisite understandings
through his/her own observation, experimentation and reflection. Every child grows in a
particular sociocultural context, which impacts his/her, acquisition of knowledge, skills,
attitudes, etc. This makes it imperative for the teacher to understand the social set up in
which the child is placed and the demands it puts on the child as well as on the teacher.
In addition to developing understanding of the child‟s development in various contexts,
the teacher is also expected to facilitate acquisition of knowledge and skills by the
students in different curricular areas, for which he/she must have the competence to use
appropriate pedagogies, which may be subject-specific or general pedagogy relevant and
appropriate for different areas of school curriculum. For instance, the utility of ICT, Arts
and Crafts and Community resources and folk arts as pedagogical tools is well
established for different areas of school curriculum. This implies that the inclusion of all
these pedagogical tools in the curriculum of a teacher education programme will enhance
the effectiveness and quality of teacher preparation.

The present day Indian Society is a technology driven Society and is on the way of
becoming a learning society. The increasing use of Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT) has brought about a sea change in the generation and transmission of
knowledge. This has empowered the learners for self-learning. The programme
envisages the use of ICT as a pedagogical tool for all areas of school curriculum at the
elementary stage. Besides ICT, fine arts, music, dance, theatre and crafts have immense
potential for being used as a medium for the teaching of various areas of school
curriculum like Science, Mathematics, Social Studies, Environmental Studies, etc. The
inclusion of Arts and Crafts in the curriculum shall not only equip the prospective
teachers to appreciate our rich cultural heritage in the field of Arts, but will also prepare
them to exploit their potential as pedagogical tools for the education of different areas of
school curriculum.

NCTE -2009 emphasized that we need teachers who:

 Care for children and love to be with them, understand children within social,
cultural and political contexts, develop sensitivity to their needs and problems,
and treat all children equally.
 Perceive children not as passive receivers of knowledge, augment their natural
propensity to construct meaning, discourage rote learning, make learning a
joyful, participatory and meaningful activity.
 Critically examine curriculum and textbooks, contextualize curriculum to suit
local needs.
 Do not treat knowledge as a „given‟, embedded in the curriculum and accepted
without question.
 Organize learner-centered, activity-based, participatory learning experiences –
play, projects, discussion, dialogue, observation, visits and learn to reflect on
their own practice.
 Integrate academic learning with social and personal realities of learners,
responding to diversities in the classroom.
 Promote values of peace, democratic way of life, equality, justice, liberty,
fraternity, secularism and zeal for social reconstruction.

This can only be achieved if teacher education curriculum provides appropriate and critical
opportunities for student teachers to:

Observe and engage with children, communicate with and relate to children.
Understand the self and others, one‟s beliefs, assumptions, emotions and
aspirations; develop the capacity for self-analysis, self-evaluation, adaptability,
flexibility, creativity and innovation.
Develop habits and the capacity for self-directed learning, have time to think,
reflect, assimilate and articulate new ideas; be self-critical and to work
collaboratively in groups.
Engage with subject content, examine disciplinary knowledge and social
realities, relate subject matter with the social milieu of learners and develop
critical thinking.
Develop professional skills in pedagogy, observation, documentation, analysis
and interpretation, drama, craft, story-telling and reflective inquiry.

Each of the above stated opportunities can be provided through a carefully crafted curriculum
design that draws upon theoretical and empirical knowledge as well as student teachers‟
experiential knowledge. (NCFTE-2009)

The B.Ed. Programme aims to prepare teachers who are able to continuously assess and
improve their professional practice as teachers by critically reflecting on it, who can
understand that teaching is embedded in the social context of the learners and who can
engage with context and subject matter that they will be teaching. The student-teachers will
also be acquainted with the modes of inquiry and epistemological frameworks of their
subjects, familiarized with how children learn so that they can develop and use teaching
strategies that are responsive to the learning needs of all their learners in diverse and plural
settings of elementary classrooms.

Course Content:
Creative Drama: Focus Areas
 In drama exploration, the overall context presented to students is to understand life
and to learn from life. The mode is experiential. The exercises are structured by the
teacher, but the experience and its outcome is generated by participants in the process.
The experience and reflection on that, is the learning. However for this to happen it is
mandatory that the exercises are planned and structured by the teacher and not offered
as “open improvisations”.

 Encourage recognition of differences among people: caste, class, gender, religion,

age, community, occupation, lifestyle, etc. and how these influence actions, decisions,
and relationships of people. Learn to place oneself in a wider arena of these cross
cutting currents. The self to be placed in the context of the other. “How should I look
at the other?What does that reveal about me?” Go beyond the immediate and look at
other groups and settings, e.g. rural, the disadvantaged and other cultural
communities.

 Ways of seeing situations, social structures and communities. To sharpen observation

and to learn to continuously ask probing questions while investigating situations.
Develop the capacity to look at same situation from different perspectives. Learning
to recognize contradictions within situations with the aim of grasping a better
understanding of the situation rather than wanting to look for solutions.

 Finding connections between the particular and the universal. How larger processes
and contexts play out in the specific context of daily life situations and vice versa. For
instance, the case of a marginalized Dalit woman seeking medical help is connected
with the larger worlds of state responsibility and public health policy, prevailing
gender relations, the judiciary, etc.

Department of Education| Magadh University, Bodh Gaya 66

Dept. of Education/Syllabus/B.Ed. (Secondary) 2years (20016-18)

 Change as a principle of life. Identifying it within drama work; the repercussions of

change, who does it affect, why and how?

 Learning to continuously reflect on and analyse classroom exploration and their

connection with events and situations in world outside. Evaluating one‟s own and
group‟s progress in class.

Mode of Transaction
Games to help loosen up sharpen reflexes; have fun while building imagination in
different ways. Build imagination within games and exercises. Add conditions to
games to draw together and harness different physical, emotional, mental faculties.
Use theatrical exercises to awaken sensory awareness and transformation. Devise
preparatory games and physical exercises to build imagination. Refine physical
actions and integrate the physical with other faculties. Exercises in observation,
communication, associative thinking; building situations with imaginary objects and
people.

Planned and structured drama exploration exercises designed to first experience and
then, deepen social awareness of students. Some examples would include the use of
an image (photo, painting) as a stimulus for exploration; still photographs of students
themselves leading to tracking a line of thought about some issue. Participative
learning using role play, hot seating, building stories/songs, making and analyzing a
“character‟s” diary, personal belongings (objects) of characters. Make short plays that
can be performed by student-teachers with aim to study school student‟s responses
during school contact programmes. Help build a set of skills so the class can organize
role plays as well as larger school play that are built on student‟s creativity rather than
following a given script.

Fine Arts: Focus Areas

 Art, Art appreciation and Art education: visit to places like crafts museums, bal-
bhavan, art galleries. Organise art, craft and music exercises with small groups
followed by discussions and presentation. Any local exhibition or art event can be
used as precursor for the session. The session should involve using some art for a
while followed by a reflection on the experience and then connect it to their own
school days and art.

 Visual Art: Opportunities to experiment and create pieces of art using

differentmedium. Focus on colours, textures, composition and thematic content.
Using a range of medium: paper and water colors, paper and crayon, color pencils,
acrylic, oil paint and canvass, student-teachers would learn about lines, forms,
compositions, colors, space divisions etc. Specific tasks would include free drawing,
developing narratives in visuals, composition of an imagined situation, telling a story
through comic strips, creating a collage using images, bits cut out from old
magazines, news-paper etc.

 Music: Orientation to different forms of music with either a film screening or lecture
demonstration by an artist to show a wide range of musical forms and a brief history
of one or two forms; connecting to music in nature and within our own selves; voice
training: opening the voice, music and rhythm exercises: singing, creating music with
different objects, practicing basic notes and tones; experimenting with one new forms:
folk of any one region; collating music/songs from a community/within the family for
special occasions or themes. (e.g. lullabies from different language cultures, harvest
songs, songs during the freedom struggle etc.; create musical pieces with others;
design and run sessions on music with children.

 Cinema and Electronic Media: Provide exposure to alternative cinema, develop

appreciation for cinema as an art and understand the impact of the electronic media,
it‟s impact on our psyche and aesthetics; orientation with an expert on films providing
a background followed by screening of known films; projects/discussion on television
and our mindscape: storylines, the corruption of aesthetics, intervention in familial
spaces, increasing legitimization of violence; age appropriate viewing and selection of
films.
Department of Education| Magadh University, Bodh Gaya 68
Dept. of Education/Syllabus/B.Ed. (Secondary) 2years (20016-18)

 Literary Arts: linkage between language, literature and performing arts; appreciation
of poetry as performance art, play reading and reading literature as an art, selection of
poetic pieces and developing performances around it; exposure to readings in
different language traditions: Hindi, English other regional languages and dialectics
drawing upon local traditions.

 Architecture and spatial Design: develop a deeper understanding of architectural

heritage, appreciation of spatial designs and the aesthetics therein: colonial, Mughal,
Sultanate period, Post-Independence etc. Through heritage walks; political dynamics
of space and its changing trends; cultural social connections with architecture and
town/city planning; connection to natural resources and access to these viz a viz
architecture and design; spaces for children in a city.

 Designing a Project for School Children: Participants to identify a specific age

group of children and a relevant theme and design an art based project for them which
should span over a period of time example – a heritage walk to a nearby monument
and a public event about it – including art exhibition , plays, songs and other similar
expressions; principles of inclusion, diversity, child-centered approaches would be a
given and the participants would be encouraged to use all that they have learnt in an
interactive manner; feedback from students, teachers and community would be used
for evaluation of this aspect.
