Integrated teacher Education program
PROGRAM/COURSE
The National Education Policy 2020 highlights, “Teacher education is vital in creating a pool of school teachers that will shape the next generation. Teacher preparation is an activity that requires multidisciplinary perspectives and knowledge, formation of dispositions and values, and development of practice under the best mentors. Teachers must be grounded in Indian values, languages, knowledge, ethos, and traditions including tribal traditions, while also being well- versed in the latest advances in education and pedagogy”.

Four-Year Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP)
“Recognizing that the teachers will require training in high-quality content as well as pedagogy, teacher education will gradually be moved by 2030 into multidisciplinary colleges and universities”. The 4-year integrated B.Ed. offered by such multidisciplinary HEIs will, by 2030, become the minimal degree qualification for school teachers. The 4-year integrated B.Ed. will be a dual-major holistic bachelor's degree, in Education as well as a specialized subject such as a language, history, music, mathematics, computer science, chemistry, economics, art, physical education, etc. Beyond the teaching of cutting-edge pedagogy, the teacher education will include grounding in sociology, history, science, psychology, early childhood care and education, foundational literacy and numeracy, knowledge of India and its values/ethos/art/traditions, and more”

Main Features of ITEP
The four-year Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP) envisions the creation of passionate, motivated, qualified, professionally trained, and well-equipped teachers capable of designing and implementing developmentally appropriate learning experiences for students at different stages of school education. The ITEP seeks to ensure that the prospective teachers are given the highest quality education in content, pedagogy, values, and practice.
-
Broad Structure of ITEP
The ITEP is of four years duration across eight semesters of study. It is a dual-major bachelor's degree programme, with one major in Education and the other in a disciplinary/interdisciplinary branch of knowledge. In addition, the programme seeks to develop among student-teachers an ethic of social engagement, and capacities such as problem solving, critical thinking, creative thinking, communication skills, ethical and moral reasoning etc. that are necessary for preparing competent teachers.
Multiple Entry and Exit, and Re-entry Options
The ITEP envisages multiple entry and exit points and re-entry options, with appropriate certifications. Student-teachers who wish to exit after completion of one year (two semesters) of study will be given a Certificate indicating the credits accrued for the courses pursued. Student-teachers who wish to exit after completion of two years (four semesters) will be given a Diploma indicating the credits accrued for the courses completed. Student-teachers who wish to exit after successful completion of three years (six semesters) will be awarded a Bachelor’s Degree in the chosen Major area of study upon securing a minimum of 120 credits and satisfying the minimum credit requirements of 48 credits for the Major. Student-teachers who successfully complete four years (eight semesters) of study will be awarded a dual-major bachelor’s degree such as B.A.B.Ed. Or B.Sc.B.Ed. or B.Com.B.Ed. etc. upon securing a minimum of 160 credits, including a minimum of 80 credits for the first major (i.e. in education), and a minimum of 48 credits for the second major (i.e., in a disciplinary/interdisciplinary area relating to one of the curricular areas in school education).
Eligibility/Entry Requirements:
A Certificate obtained after successful completion of Grade 12 (or equivalent stage of education such as Pre-University, Intermediate, etc.) with a minimum of 50% marks in aggregate or an equivalent grade from a recognized Board/University
MANSAS as a pioneering society which focus on establishment of the college of education in the year 1950. Taking into congruence the spirit of NCTE which advocated the policy that educated as a program integrated with a degree would be beneficial instead offering it is in isolation from the core degree, the society closed its 70-year-old M.R. College of Education paving way for the introduction of the present 4-year integrated B.Ed. Program
Outcomes-based Approach of ITEP
The ITEP envisages an outcome-based approach to education. This implies an increased focus on the Graduate Attributes to be demonstrated by the student-teachers, and the achievement by student-teachers of the learning outcomes associated with each of the curricular components and the courses of study relating to these components. Graduate attributes indicate the quality and feature or characteristics of a student-teacher, including the knowledge, capacities, and values and dispositions that are expected to be demonstrated by a graduate of the ITEP. They include capacities that help student-teachers widen their current knowledge base, gain new knowledge and competencies, undertake further studies, perform well as a teacher, and play a constructive role as a responsible citizen in the society. Graduate attributes reflect learning outcomes that are specific to each of the curricular components and courses of study, and generic learning outcomes that graduates of all Stage-Specific ITEP should achieve and be able to demonstrate. Graduate attributes are acquired and fostered incrementally through the totality of learning experience made available to a student-teacher, the college/university experience, and through a process of critical and reflective thinking.

The Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP) has a four-year, dual-major structure that integrates teacher education with a disciplinary degree. Its curricular structure includes a two-week induction program, foundational and stage-specific content-cum-pedagogy courses, ability enhancement and value-added courses, school experience components like practice teaching and internship, and community engagement activities. This holistic approach prepares teachers to be skilled professionals with strong ethical grounding, social awareness, and the ability to meet the diverse needs of 21st-century learners.
CURRICULAR STRUCTURE OF INTEGRATED TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMME (ITEP)
The Stage-Specific ITEP will be organized according to the semester pattern, which is two semesters in an academic year. Each semester will consist of 15 -16 weeks of teaching-learning activities. The ITEP comprises the following seven curricular components:
- Curricular Components
- Foundations of Education
- Disciplinary/Interdisciplinary Courses
- Stage-Specific Content-Cum-Pedagogy
- Ability Enhancement and Value-Added Courses
- School Experience
- Community Engagement and Service
Curricular Components
- The Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP) curriculum has four main components:
- A disciplinary or interdisciplinary major,
- A minor in education
- A focus on Indian knowledge systems and values, and
- Practical training like internships and community engagement.
- The curriculum is designed to prepare versatile teachers with subject-specific expertise and strong pedagogical skills, emphasizing inclusivity, digital literacy, and foundational learning.
Foundations of Education
- Courses relating to foundations of education are critical to the professional preparation of teachers.
- These courses draw upon the disciplines of philosophy, sociology, psychology, history, economics, political science, and education policy studies.
- A deep engagement with these areas of study is a necessary condition for a teacher to have the ability to make good educational judgments.
- The courses seek to provide an orientation on the main factors which influence the structure and organization of various aspects of education and teacher education such as the objectives of education, expected competencies and learning outcomes, curricular structure and components, pedagogical practices, and methodologies and procedures relating to learning assessment and evaluation of overall student performance etc.
- These courses also seek to enable student-teachers to develop an understanding of the different perspectives on education, the profession of teaching, and human knowledge and learning.
- These courses enable prospective teachers to develop an understanding of the theoretical, conceptual, and policy-related underpinnings of the educational enterprise and its various curricular and instructional approaches.
Disciplinary/Interdisciplinary Courses
- Much of the focus of teachers’ work lies in the teaching of subjects prescribed for and/or opted for study by school students.
- For subject teaching to be meaningful, teachers need to possess deep knowledge and profound understanding of the conceptual structures and practice relating to a subject of study.
- The ITEP aims to prepare student-teachers to be able to place the subject matter they teach in a wider perspective of human knowledge, its modes of construction and justification as well as its impact on human societies.
- The ITEP provides student-teachers opportunities to pursue rigorous specialization through a chosen Major (48 Credits or 64 Credits) in a discipline associated with one of the curricular areas in the school education curriculum.
- The study of these courses helps student-teachers gain a broader understanding beyond the discipline chosen as the Major area of study and enable them to teach at least two subjects prescribed for study at a particular Stage of school education.
Stage-Specific Content-Cum-Pedagogy
- Teachers are required to evolve their own understanding and capacities that would help them restructure subject-matter and concepts relating to the curricular areas to aid children in Understanding them.
- Content-cum-Pedagogy plays an important role in the integration of pedagogy and Content, as well as the development of an integrated understanding of the pedagogical Content and subject matter knowledge which improves with time and experience.
- The main purpose of the Content-cum-Pedagogy courses is to make prospective teachers comprehend the epistemological and pedagogical foundations of the subject they are expected to teach
Ability Enhancement and Value-Added Courses
- These courses are common to all student-teachers across Stage Specializations.
- They help student-teachers gain knowledge and capacities in areas that are essential to a holistic education and are both useful to life as well as to a career in education.
- The courses will help student-teachers develop sensitivity, critical and analytical capacities, reflection, sensibilities for dialogue and cooperative learning, aesthetic appreciation, and values for a sustainable world.
- Languages I & II
- Art Education (Performing and Visual)
- Understanding India (Indian Ethos and Knowledge Systems)
- Teacher & Society
- ICT in Education
- Mathematical and Quantitative Reasoning
- Sports, Nutrition and Fitness
- Yoga and Understanding Self
- Citizenship Education, Sustainability and Environmental Education
School Experience
- The school is the heart of teacher education.
- Teaching can never be a mere application of theories generated from different disciplines like psychology, sociology, philosophy etc.
- An effective teacher needs to have the capacity to make educational judgments based on the perspectives gained through engagement with these disciplines.
- Pre-Internship Practice
- School Observation (Field Practice)
- School-Based Research Projects
- Internship in Teaching
- Post Internship (Review and Analysis)
- Creating Teaching-Learning Material
