Rationale of the Degree Programme
Bachelor of Education in Technology is a degree that covers 50% Education component and 50% Technology subjects in the fields of Bio Systems, Engineering Technology and Information and Communication Technology. The degree programmes aim at producing quality technology teachers/ instructors with the power to effectively handle the challenges emerged in modern classrooms. As far as technology is concerned, technological advances aren’t standstill; it takes changes every second. Hence, the technology teacher/instructors should possess knowledge as well as the skills of managing the new technology before he/she disseminates the knowledge and skills in the classrooms.
In order to familiarize teacher students with the qualities that good teachers possess, and teach them to conduct their classroom teaching as well as practical sessions with flexibility and effectiveness, the B.Ed. Tech. Programme should be based on the innovations in the field of teaching-learning Methodology and on the needs of the students, thus covering a broad range of activities and tasks arising from personal and vicarious experience in teaching. These issues assume even greater importance today due to the ongoing process of technical educational reforms and the necessity to promote high standards in education in general.
