, Foreword
“KNOWLEDGE is that which is acquired
through personal experiences”
- Thiruvalluvar
The paramount duty of schools is to provide quality education through a curriculum frame
work. Quality education is comprised of dimensions like enriching the innate potential of learners,
inculcation of self-discipline, enabling the students to assimilate the best learning experiences in every
subject and creating interest in learning among students.
Curriculum is revised from time to time based on the changing needs of learners and their
environment. NCERT, New Delhi has designed National Curriculum Frame Work 2005 (NCF 2005)
bearing in mind the contextual and professional needs of all the stake holders of education.
The following five cardinal principles of NCF 2005 have been assimilitated into teacher
education curriculum and in the source books of Elementary Teacher Education which are to be
introduced in 2008-2009.
! Connecting knowledge to life outside the school
! Ensuring that learning shifts away from rote methods
! Enriching the curriculum so that it goes beyond textbooks
! Making Examinations more flexible and integrating them with classroom life.
! Nurturing an overriding identity informed by caring concerns within the democratic polity of the
country.
The curriculum developed by DTERT is likely to develop the following skills in student-teach-
ers of Elementary Teacher Education.
! The ability to seek knowledge continuously
! Skill of applying acquired knowledge to various situation
! Skill to realize the inner potential and live in harmony with others accordingly and learn to
live in coordination with the members of the society
! Mastery of learning in all the subjects
! Skill for doing constructive activities
( iii )
, ! The proficiency of student-teachers in innovations, doing Research and the ability to think
telelogically
The curriculum has the following objectives:
! To enhance the professionalism of student-teachers and develop their holistic personality
! To nurture values such as national integration, milk of human kindness and moral values
! To give importance to Adolescence Education, Health Education, Life Skills Education,
Environmental Education, Road Safety and Peace Education.
To facilitate the realization of the above objectives, eight subjects and nine practicums have been
prepared by a team of authors for the two year Diploma in Teacher Education Course. They are viz.
