Questions
Which syllabus does this course follow?
It follows the NCTE 2014 based two-year B.Ed scheme followed by UP state universities (CCSU, MJPRU, CSJMU, Lucknow University and others). Where your own university's syllabus differs, the centre teaches your university's units and papers.
Will this help in TET / CTET too?
Yes. Child development, learning theories and pedagogy questions in UPTET, CTET and super TET come from the same ideas.
Are examples given for each theory?
Yes, each theory is linked to a real classroom situation so that application questions become easy.
