Resource Details

The Connected Open Online Learning (COOL) resources are meant to enable student teachers and teacher educators to stay connected to their learning and engage with concepts and practices for active and inclusive teaching and learning.

They are mapped onto the B.Ed Curriculum Framework of NCTE. (See the table below). Please note that these resources consist of some of the key topics put together as a resource and do not cover the entire course comprehensively.

These resources provide an overview of key topics from each course based on current research and practices. They are not exhaustive. It is essential to follow up with rigorous readings and school-based practices that are integral and necessary for teacher preparation. The resources provide scaffolding for some readings and suggestions for tasks to strengthen practice.

This resource on ‘Childhood and Growing up’ course is based on available Open Education Resources (OERs) in the field of developmental psychology and research with a focus on perspectives in education. The resources aim to enable student teachers and teacher educators to understand the concept of childhood and adolescence and arrive at a critique of the universalistic, normative notions of childhood and children and adolescents. The resources provide scope for further reading to deepen one’s understanding, provide critical questions for reflection, and engage with tasks, connecting theory to practice.

The resource is available free of cost.
