B.Ed SYLLABUS 2015 - 2016 ONWARDS
Two Year B.Ed. Revised Syllabus 2015-16 Onwards
I was the decision of UGC for introducing the semester and choice based credit system in
all the central, state and deemed universities and institutions of higher learning in the
country under the Eleventh Five Year Plan. (D. O. No. F.1-2/2008-XI Plan dated January
31, 2008 from the Chairman, UGC).
The decision of implementation of Credit and Grade point system was taken on 10th
June, 2010 and subsequently the Management Council gave the concurrence at its
meeting held on 18th July, 2010 after suggesting minor changes with the help of Deans of
the concerned faculties and resolved to implement it from the Academic year 2011-12.
Credit system involves breaking down the curriculum into measurable units that can be
combined to get a degree/diploma.
A credit is generally a value use in terms of learning time required to complete course
units, resulting in learning outcomes.
The number of credits awarded to a learner is determined by Credit Value or Credit points
assigned to a particular course.
It is a way of expressing the ‗learner‘s workload‘. (Student‘s)
One (01) credit is fifteen (15) learning hours.
Credits once gained cannot be lost.
The definitions of the key terms used in the Credit based Semester and Grading System
are as follows :
Program: Program is set of courses that are linked together in an academically meaningful
way and generally ends with the award of a Certificate or Diploma or degree depending on
the level of knowledge attained and the total duration of study.
Course: A course corresponds to the word ‗subject‘ used in many universities. A course is
essentially a constituent of a ‗program‘ may be conceived of as a composite of several
learning topics taken from a certain level. All the learning topics included in a course must
necessarily have academic coherence that is there must be a common thread linking the
various components of a course. A number of linked courses considered together are in
practice, a ‗program‘.
Credit Point: Credit point refers to the ‗work load‘ of a learner and is an index of the number
of learning hours deemed for a certain segment of learning. These learning hours may include
a variety of learning activities like reading, reflecting, discussing, attending
lectures/counseling sessions, writing assignments, preparing for examinations, etc. Credits
are assigned for a single Course and always pay attention to how many hours it would take
for a learner to complete a Single course successfully. By and large a course may be assigned
anywhere between 2 to 8 Credits where in one credit is construed as corresponding to 15
hours.
