Pre-service Teacher Education Programmes
One of the major concerns of NCERT is the development and operationalisation of
innovative pre-service teacher education courses, viz. four-year integrated B.A. B.Ed.
course in Social Science and Humanities Education, B.Sc. B.Ed./B.Sc.Ed. courses
in Science Education, two-year B.Ed. (secondary) course in Science and Humanities,
one-year M.Ed. course in Elementary Education and one-year Post-Graduate
Diploma in Guidance and Counselling (PGDGC) in RIEs at Ajmer, Bhopal,
Bhubaneswar and Mysore. The RIEs also have the facilities for Ph.D. programme.
The main emphasis of the four-year integrated B.A. B.Ed and B.Sc., B.Ed./B.Sc.Ed.
course is on quality, i.e. producing good teachers well-versed in content, process,
pedagogy and co-curricular activities. The one-year M.Ed. Elementary Education
course in teacher education gives adequate emphasis on issues and concerns in
elementary education and research based inputs. The pupil-teachers of the course
conduct research studies in different priority areas of elementary education. The
two-year B.Ed. (Secondary) course in Science and Humanities is an experimental
course based on the guidelines of NCTE. The course-wise enrolment and results
are given in the following tables. RIE, Mysore started two new courses B.A.Ed. and
B.El.Ed. and RIE, Bhopal has started a new course, viz., B.A. B.Ed.
