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. 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 Understanding Disciplines and Subjects aims to develop an understanding of the nature, history and changing notions of the disciplinary knowledge. The course will help students in understanding the debates around rationality and its relation to the school subjects. In tracing the history of these subjects, the nature of these subjects and the knowledge that is deemed important in each discipline will be discussed. The selection of the subjects (language, mathematics, social sciences and sciences) over others such as work centred learning or horticulture and the selection of content in these subjects is an ideological act.
The resource is available free of cost.
