Course Details
The current Indian education policy, NEP-2020, is committed to discovering, nurturing, fostering, and developing innate talents of varying interests, dispositions, and capacities among students who show strong potential in a given area. The policy recommends that these students must be encouraged to pursue that area beyond the school curriculum. (NEP-2020, p19, 4.43-4.46).
Cluster Innovation Centre has a mandate to integrate higher education with societal realities and to provide feasible solutions to real time problems. The center achieves these objectives through innovation projects and outreach programs. Under the ambit of CIC, M.Sc. (Mathematics Education) is a post graduate course specially designed to prepare resourceful and creative mathematics teachers.
The course develops its strength by introducing value added outreach programs for school teachers and students. Addressing to the needs of teachers and students, it was felt that teachers are not prepared to handle children who have high learning potentials. In the absence of well accepted notion of giftedness in the country, gifted children are the most misunderstood group of the learners in the school. Teachers who spend maximum time with students in the learning situations are generally ignorant about the clues of gifted behaviors. There is an urgent need to prepare teachers who are trained in differentiated teaching strategies so as to identify and meet the learning needs of gifted students.
Therefore, it is proposed to introduce Certificate level course training teachers to identify the “unique learning behaviors” of gifted students and to equip them with teaching strategies helping students to optimize their potentials.
