Curriculum and Syllabus for Diploma in Teacher Education Programmes

in Tamil Nadu

 

1. Preamble

 

The curriculum renewed in the light of NCF 2005, aims at the  preparation of committed teachers whose professionalism would enable them to sustain their learning interest through out their career. The present curriculum has a paradigm shift from the teacher to the learner and from the  focus on teaching methods to ways and means of facilitating and enhancing learning by children. Interestingly, the major thrust is given to the different and unique ways in which children learn rather than the existing methods of teaching tried uniformly on children with diverse learning abilities and backgrounds. The curriculum aims at the development of commitment and professionalism among teachers, teacher-community linkages and challenges  encountered by children while learning and evolving strategies which would help them address the challenges with confidence. The curriculum and  syllabi for various courses are the outcome of a series of workshops in which  former vice-chancellors, senior academic consultants, senior professors from RIE, NCERT and Colleges of Secondary Teacher Education, DIET faculty, ABL experts and practising teachers & teacher educators took active part in

the deliberations.

 

2. Objectives

 

In the light of these perspectives, the following objectives of teacher education at the elementary level are formulated. At the end of the programme the trainees will be able to

 

-

understand the nature, purpose, problems and issues of elementary  education,

-

evolve need-based, community-specific and child-centred pedagogy including indigenous learning systems,

-

understand the nature and maturity level of children for imparting education for their many sided development, to mobilize and manage community resources for the development  of school infrastructure

-

use the constructivist pedagogy and evaluation techniques

-

develop desire, taste and capacity for life-long learning and make  them aware of the latest developments in their areas of specialization and the needed transactional skills,

 

-

understand the advantages of ICT and use the same for facilitating student learning

 

-

develop sensitivity towards the education of the neglected sections  of society who are deprived of the rights they are entitled to.
