[Kerala University English Teacher
Educator’s Forum - KUETEF]
Hello
all,
Do
familiarize yourself with the new
Content before attending the Workshop
scheduled for 26 October 2013.
Mentioned
below are a few notable changes in the New Curriculum for
the academic year 2013-14.
*....educating a teacher for the
global learner must be the main focus of teacher education.
* In the 21st Century learning environment, teachers must be able to support learning
communities that enable their students to collaborate, share best practices,
and integrate skills into the classroom practices. Teachers should also be able
to provide access to quality learning tools, technologies and resources, expanding
the learning environment to community and international settings, both
face-to-face as well as online.
*...the present revision introduces a
credit based semester approach.
* ...thrust is given for Evidence Based Continuous
Assessment as per Competency Based Performance Indicators.
* Introduction of Pedagogic Content
Knowledge Analysis (PCKA) in a Techno-Pedagogic Era in lieu of the traditional Pedagogic Analysis...
Techno-Pedagogy to meet the challenges of the techno-savvy era.
-[Preface,
BEd. Curriculum ]
* The meetings of practicing teacher
educators and subject specialists, the Conceptualization workshop and the Core
Committee meetings have all pointed out several limitations in existing
practices. They include, the need to alleviate the burden of an over loaded
curriculum, the lack of sufficient practical orientation, the wide gap between
theory and practice, the inclusion of
obsolete content, a failure to be in touch with the realities existing
in schools and failure to meet the requirements of the community.[P1 BEd. Curriculum]
* The prime objective... to equip the
prospective teachers with the knowledge, skills, attitude, competence and
commitment to face the challenges of the 21st century.
