The Bachelors Degree in Education has been carefully designed to :
- develop knowledge and understanding about the philosophical and sociological bases of education;
- develop ability to understand learner behaviour and personality, and capability to apply this knowledge and understanding to guide learners to learn efficiently and effectively;
- develop a national perspective about educational theory and practice to enable learners to visualize the inter-linkages and dependency among different educational systems and institutions;
- develop a working knowledge of ICTs and their application in formal and non-formal systems of education;
- generate awareness and understanding of some specialized areas of education and human development like special needs of education, curriculum development, environmental education, vocational education, teacher education, elementary education, measurement and evaluation, value education and human responsibility so as to widen the horizon of understanding of modern educational practices and to develop critical thinking pertaining to issues related to education.

We encourage both individual and co-operative learning and research and hope to foster an ethos of life-long-learning. Due emphasis is given to active learning and the acquisition of both generic and specific skills and abilities. In terms of teaching and learning, the course units are delivered through lectures, group-work, practicals, visits, laboratory classes, workshops, lectures, seminars, individual tutorials, guided reading, independent study, email discussion groups, individual project supervision, etc. It is recognised that these categories are not mutually exclusive; lectures may, for instance, involve student activities and opportunities for dialogue. Practicals cover a wide variety of methodologies, including both quantitative and qualitative methods. Internal Assessment will comprise essays, coursework, reports and group-presentations. Considerable attention is given to methods in teaching, learning and assessment, and it is recognised that there are a great variety of ways in which material can be presented and skills developed. These are not static, but continually evolve and change with technological as well as pedagogical developments, including developments in the use of information technology and other media. |
