Introduction
B.Ed (2.5 Years) Programme with specialization in science education will not only provide understanding about nature of science (NOS) but will also ensure that only those who intend to opt for science teaching as a professional career will join the program. It will enable the prospective science teachers to apply their content and pedagogical knowledge and skills in real class situation more effectively. These science teachers will be enabled to transform the provisions of policy and curriculum in their classroom/ laboratory. These science teachers will be able to adopt innovative instructional techniques/methods and science assessment tools to get maximum outcomes from science teaching and learning. The science teachers trained through this program will be able to teach science at different levels of schooling.
Objectives:
Following are the objectives of B.Ed (2.5 Years) with Specialization in Science Education.
- to describe the concepts, foundations, and perspectives of Science Education.
- to present the pedagogical and content knowledge by using latest information communication system (ICT) in an effective manner.
- to demonstrate science related attitudes in Science Education.
- to apply Practical Skills (Science Process Skills) for science teaching.
- to develop lesson plans and assessment tools for science teaching and learning.
