All the members of Central Institute of Education, University of Delhi

cordially invite you to our Sixty Ninth Foundation Day celebration.

Dr. Uma Chakravarti will deliver the foundation day address on

Material Basis of Caste and Patriarchy in India : The Limits of

Education

At 11:00 am on Monday, the 19th

of December, 2016

at the Anath Nath Basu Auditorium, C.I.E.

Dr Uma Chakravarti, a Feminist Historian has been actively involved with the women’s

movement and the movement for democratic rights since 1970. She has also been directing

short films on social issues and lives of activist who have worked with labourers to document

their lives and oppression. She has also taught at the Miranda House College and has been

an extremely popular teacher who has inspired and influenced generations.


The Department of Education, University of Delhi, earlier known as the Central Institute

of Education (CIE), was, perhaps, the first major institute of professional learning and

research in Education, established just after independence. The first Prime Minister of

India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and, then, Education Minister, Maulana Abdul Kalam

Azad, took considerable interest in the establishment of CIE in 1947 and its activities and

progress in the early years. Maulana Azad visualized the function of CIE to be not merely

to turn out teachers who will be ‘model teachers’, but to evolve into “a research centre for

solving new educational problems of the country”. Over these past decades, CIE, now the

Department of Education, has attempted to work towards this vision. Moreover, at this

juncture, when the nation has introduced the Right to Education Act and a National

Curricular Framework for Teacher Education, and is grappling with how it will prepare a

vast cadre of teachers who can ensure quality with equity, the Department will need to

brace itself to address this challenge.

Recognised as an Institute of Advanced Studies in Education (IASE) and having

established the Maulana Azad Centre for Elementary and Social Education (MACESE),

the Faculty of Education has developed several academic programmes.

Address by the Head of the Department

I extend a very warm welcome to the Chief Guest of the 69th Foundation Day of our

Department, to all the dignitaries who have accepted our invitation to be here with us

today, to our esteemed retired faculty, to all my colleagues and to all the future teachers,

teacher educators and educationists.

We are very privileged to have with us our distinguished speaker, Dr. Uma Chakravarti, a

Feminist Historian who has been actively involved with the women’s movement and the

movement for democratic rights, since 1970. She has also been directing short films on

social issues and lives of activists who have worked with labourers to document their lives

and oppression. She taught at the Miranda House College for several decades and was an

extremely popular teacher who has inspired and influenced generations.

The Department of Education, popularly known as Central Institute of Education, is one of

the most prestigious institutions in the field of education. It offers several professional

teacher education programmes viz. Two Year B.Ed., Two Year M.Ed., M-Phil (Full Time

and Part Time Pre-Doctoral Research Program) and Ph.D. (Doctoral Research Program in

Education). Our faculty members are continuously involved in varied academic activities

and endeavours to augment the quality of these programmes. The emphasis is on

enrichment and contemporisation.

Having been in various committees of NCTE, our faculty members developed new

curricula, structure and plan of action for a new two year B.Ed. programme and two year

M.Ed. programme, not only for the Department and its constituent colleges, but also, for

the entire country. All the faculty members of the department were engaged through the

year in developing; modifying and enriching syllabi for various courses, implementing

new programmes, and dealing with the challenges that arose in rolling out the new

programmes. In fact, the syllabi and courses developed by our department are playing the

role of torch-bearers and a model, for many institutions, across the country. Prior to 2015,

full-time B.Ed. and M.Ed. programs were of one year duration. The M.Phil. and Ph.D.

programmes of the department attract a large number of applicants from all over the

country and from overseas as well. It is a matter of great pride that large number of faculty

members were involved in various research projects funded by IASE/MHRD and the


Research Council, University of Delhi. They were also engaged in inter-institutional

collaborations. Some of our faculty members visited institutions in other states and

countries as resource persons, delegates and subject experts for various academic

endeavors. Foreign delegations from Iran and Sweden visited the department for exchange

of academic ideas. The department organized one international conference and four

national conferences/seminars supported by various funding agencies. Many of our faculty

members are on editorial boards, advisory committees and review panels of national and

international journals. Several academic activities are a regular part of the department’s

activities through various student societies like Civics Society, History Society, Human

Rights Association (AAHRAV) and Educational Technology Society (SOCRATES).

From time to time we have celebrated several special occasions too. To name a few Azadi

70, National Constitution Day, National Human Rights Day and World Disability Day

with great zeal and patriotism. IQAC and NAAC committees were constituted for

recording, organization and communication of data and smooth visits of the University

NAAC peer team.

The department has its own website http://www.cie.du.ac.in which is updated almost

every day. The website is visually challenged and hearing challenged-friendly. It is

maintained by a highly dedicated team and is highly enriched with the day to day

information about our department and faculty. The department had its own placement cell

till July, 2016 which was working for students from all the programmes. The department

has a vigilant Anti-ragging cell as per UGC guidelines. The department also maintains a

school attached to it namely, CIE Experimental Basic School, which works under direct

guidance and supervision of the departmental authority. The school has a significant

teacher-student ratio as compared to other schools in Delhi.

Welcoming once again today’s chief guest, on this day, I pay my regards to each and

every founding stone and congratulate each and every pillar of this institute, who gave it

the current prevailing ethos. Finally, I extend my best wishes to all the shining stars, who

are sitting here and who will create the golden pages of tomorrow’s educational fraternity.

Thanks.

A Glance at the Academic Programmes

Bachelor of Education

The Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) of the Department is one of the best programmes of its

kind in the country. Department of Education has a new full time two-year B.Ed.

programme, which started in 2015, based on the NCTE guidelines. It is perceived as,

essentially, the first formal preparation for educators, although its primary focus is on

secondary school teaching. It is also seen as an initial professional degree for those who

may wish to pursue further studies and professional specializations in educational

management, policy making and planning, curriculum development including textbook

design, guidance and counselling, working in alternative school systems, teacher

education and educational research.

The B.Ed. Programme in the Department consists of rigorous Theory Courses, an

intensive School Experience Programme (SEP), a Field Observation Programme (FOP),

courses on various specializations, courses on enhancing professional competencies (EPC)

including Art and Aesthetics, ICT, component on Understanding Communication and

Yoga; and many co-curricular activities which contribute towards the development of a

more holistic teacher. It has some subject based academic bodies, including the Civics

Society, the History Society, SOCRATES- the ET Society, etc. for nurturing the talents of

the students.

B.Ed. is offered in three other colleges of the University of Delhi in addition to the

Department, namely Maharishi College of Education, Lady Irwin College and Shyama

Prasad Mukherjee College. An effort is made to facilitate inter institutional collaboration

and coordination on all important decisions concerning this programme. Currently, the

B.Ed. Coordinator at the Department is Dr. Susmita Lakhyani.

Bachelor of Elementary Education (B.El.Ed.) Programme The B.El.Ed. programme programme is offered in eight affiliated colleges of the

University of Delhi. It has completed twenty two years since its inception. Since a few

years back, the organisation of admission into the programme has been streamlined under

the overall responsibility and commitment of each of the colleges offering the programme.

Each year, the Department of Elementary Education of one college takes on the

responsibility of conducting admissions. The B.El.Ed. admissions for 2016-2017 were

conducted by Miranda House.

After a detailed third review of the programme initiated in 2013, the B.El.Ed. faculty,

facilitated by a core committee is in the process of reviewing the courses. Several sub-

committees constituted for each curricular area have been working in consultation with

faculty across colleges. Consultation meetings with Department Heads for each of the

liberal options, followed by working groups across colleges led to the redesign of liberal

option courses. Resource persons with specialisation in theatre, music, craft, self-


development, physical education have worked on the practicum design and content

facilitated by B.El.Ed. faculty.

The review process has led to the redesigning of individual courses both, practicum and

theory, as well as inclusion of new thrust areas in the light of the recommendations of the

Review Committee. It is expected that the process of review will be completed for seeking

approval of the apex bodies of the University within this academic year.

Bachelor of Education (Special Education) Lady Irwin College runs Bachelor of Special Education (Mental Retardation) and

Durgabai Deshmukh College runs Bachelor of Special Education (Visual Impairment).

Master of Education (M.Ed.) The Master of Education (M.Ed.) programme is a significant step in the preparation of

Educational Researchers, Educational Administrators and Teacher Educators. The

Department has a new full-time M.Ed. programme of two year duration started in 2015.

The M.Ed. scholars, apart from receiving a rich grounding in educational theory, take up

Dissertation work and a Field-based project in diverse areas which include Foundations of

Education, Special Education, Mental Health Education, Language education,

Mathematics education, Science and Social Science Education, Teacher Education,

Educational Technology, Curricular and Pedagogic issues. The M.Ed. Scholars are also

being professionally developed for tutorship and school supervision. To develop their

research acumen and potential, regular in-house Research Seminars are conducted every

week where the M.Ed. scholars make presentations. The scholars also participate in the

Research Colloquium sessions conducted on weekly basis. Currently, the M.Ed. Joint

Coordinators at the Department are Dr. P. Mohan Raju and Dr. Nirupma Jaimini.

Master of Philosophy (M.Phil.) The M.Phil. in Education is a pre-doctoral level programme, designed to provide the

scholars an in-depth understanding of educational research and to build conceptual

foundations in specific areas of advanced studies in Education. The Department offers

both, a full-time and a part-time programme, for the Master of Philosophy (Education)

degree. Currently, the M.Phil. Coordinator at the Department is Dr. Sandeep Kumar.

This year 21 M.Phil. Scholars were admitted while the following 5 M.Phil. Scholars were

The Department offers a Doctoral programme in Education. This programme aims at

developing an understanding of research, public policy and educational practice, and the

relationships among them. It begins with a study of specific courses, followed by rigorous

research, leading to a dissertation.

Learning at Schools

The two year B.Ed. curriculum aims at providing a direct experience of day to day

happenings at the school site through more critical lens. Students do detailed observations

which are followed up with rich theoretical engagement in the Department. For the

effective implementation of our school internship programme, a reciprocal interaction

between the teacher education institutions and the local school is seen as indispensable.

Field Observation Programme in B.Ed. Ist Year

The first year of field observation is meant to prepare the prospective teachers through

giving them opportunities to familiarize themselves with the school system, and learn

holistically about the context in which their practice of actual teaching, takes place later.

The context comprises of not only the class room dynamics, but also other experiences

given to the learners. Therefore the observation program focuses more on understanding

the school system as a whole. Currently, the Convener of Field Observation Programme in

the Department is Dr. T. Geetha.

The Field observation exercise is intended to be an initiation into professional practice

with the objectives given below:

To make the students observe life at schools (across levels of school education)

and learn from these observations.

To make the students grounded in the reality of the schools.


To make the students take cognizance of the school as a complex social system, to

help them understand how the 'system' (in which they are going to participate as

teacher later) functions.

To enable the student teachers to understand why certain things happen in schools

the way they are.

To help them experience, analyse and reflect on the social culture of the school.

To enable them to develop linkages between their theoretical understandings

developed in their classes and the field realities.

With all the above objectives achieved, they are prepared to confidently take part

in the transactional process and all other activities of the school in the next year.

School Experience Programme in B.Ed. IInd

Year

The SEP provides field experience with the life in a school. Students and scholars were

oriented comprehensively towards developing a praxis which is inclusive aa well as child

centred; and geared towards addressing some of the challenges in strengthening the Right

to Education Act. The SEP remains one of our linkages with the schools, drawn mostly

from the Directorate of Education of the Government of Delhi and the Kendriya

Vidyalaya Sangathan, along with a few private schools. Currently, the Convener of SEP in

the Department is Dr. Shobha Sinha.

An Association of Human Rights Activists and Volunteers (AAHRAV)

AAHRAV provides a platform to all the students and scholars who want to learn from the

human rights and for the human rights. Currently, the AAHRAV In-charge at the

Department is Dr. Sandeep Kumar.

The Department offered facility for placement of both its in-service and pre-service

students, through a dedicated placement cell till July, 2016. Later, the placement related

venture was transferred to the University as there is an already existing centralised

placement cell in the University. The Department takes pride in the fact that its alumni

hold distinguished positions as teachers, teacher educators, researchers and administrators

in various organizations. The placement cell approached a number of institutions, at both

the national and international levels. This was our earnest effort in the interest of our

outgoing students. Till July, 2016, the Co-ordinator of the Departmental Placement Cell

was Mr. Vinod Kumar Kanvaria.


Infrastructural and Other Facilities for Students

Biology Lab

The Biology Laboratory in the Department provides B.Ed. students a space for exploring

and discussing the role of laboratory work in science education. It provides opportunities

for students to revisit the experiments and activities that can be conducted with school

students and establishing linkages with theory. The B.Ed. students engage themselves

here in improving the experiments and activities by exploring the use of alternative

materials, trying them out and analysing their results for further modifications. The

laboratory provides them with hands-on experience with the various equipments, as well

as other resources and their re-organisation helps them to understand the nuances of

managing the biology laboratory, as well as of planning for an experiment.

Chemistry Lab

The chemistry laboratory provides facilitation in the demonstration activities, explorations

in practical experimental and teacher education projects in chemistry to the prospective

science teachers. The models’ collections and games in chemistry made by the B.Ed.

students are an educational asset to the chemistry laboratory.

Physics Lab

The Physics Lab of the department is well resourced to conduct facilitative activities for

learning school physics. The place attains vibrancy during the activity and the discussions

sessions. A range of teaching-learning resources are available for ready reference. The

place, primarily, belongs to the students. The activities and subsequent discussions here

help to develop a fresh insight into the process of teaching-learning science across all

levels. It is projected that in the coming years the laboratory will be better resourced for

creating an enabling learning environment, within an inclusive science class.

Computer Lab

The Computer lab, with 45 computers along with internet facility at 100 Mpbs, offers

challenges for research to interested scholars in the field of computer education, to the

visually challenged, curriculum development for the disadvantaged, creation of a database

for digital films, development of CAL material, online learning material and so on.

Educational Technology (ET) Lab

The Department has a well-equipped ET Lab, situated in the Annexe Building. The lab

has several kinds of projectors, including a Film Strip Projector, Overhead Projector, Slide

Projector and LCD Projector, etc. There is a good audio system and television in the lab.

The lab is used by the students of all the courses, and sometimes by other institutions also,

throughout the year.

Research Room

The Research Room is well equipped with computers and internet facility for its M.Phil.

and Ph.D. scholars. The research scholars use this facility throughout the year for

exploring and enriching their dissertation and thesis.

Classrooms

All the classrooms have very good seating facilities, along with the green boards. Larger

classrooms are well-equipped with ceiling mounted LCD projectors and audio systems, in

the larger classrooms. Some of the classrooms have round tables for small group

cooperative sessions.


Library

The library provides several services through a team of dedicated staff. This includes

scanning of documents, OPAC and scanning books and periodicals for the Physically

Challenged students. The collection of documents/ research work / books and thesis is

over ninety thousand. Membership is open to all faculty, staff, scholars, college teachers

and students. Periodicals, National thirteen and International seven, are available.

Psychology Lab

The Psychology Lab has a collection of over one thousand standardized tests, which are

used by students, research scholars and faculty, on a regular basis. There is also an

archival collection of apparatus that was used three decades ago, for experimental

research. It also serves as a work space for scholars to have discussions and watch

educational films.

Regional Resource Centre for Elementary Education

The Regional Resource Centre for Elementary Education (RRCEE) at the Department of

Education, University of Delhi works with school teachers, teacher educators, student

teachers and researchers. Since its inception in 2007, RRCEE has offered Teacher

Fellowships to practicing teachers for undertaking classroom based research; enabled

academic support linkages between school teachers, teacher educators and the university;

given expression to teachers' voices through dissemination of teacher research; provided a

resource base and platform for facilitating and augmenting networking amongst the

various practitioners through access to relevant resources in terms of both library and web

resource; organised public lectures and film screenings to facilitate a wider exchange of

ideas around issues of equity and quality; developed a corpus of select readings translated

into Hindi; made available e-resources on education and an e-platform to enable

discussion forums for knowledge sharing and knowledge generation through a web-portal;

and developed portfolios of readings for each of the courses of the model syllabi of the

D.Ed. Programme.

The work of RRCEE has now been consolidated for further dissemination: Close to one

hundred articles translated in Hindi have been brought out in thirteen theme-based

volumes. A compendium of over 300 readings relevant for various teacher education

programmes has been compiled in hard and soft copy. Sixteen research papers and

fourteen reflective essays written by teacher fellows have been put together in an edited

volume titled: Voices Unheard: Teacher Research and Reflections. In February 2013,

RRCEE launched its podcast series on education called, Dialoguing Education. The audio

podcast series features interviews with thought leaders in the field of education. In an

effort to bring educational theory to wider publics in a conversational format, interviews

were recorded with experts from various fields and made available via the RRCEE portal.

Within a span of two and a half years, a total of 18 interviews were conducted,

transcribed, researched, edited and translated. A total of 13 interviews are available in

print in two volumes in English and Hindi. RRCEE has initiated a basic online learning

management system (LMS) directed at student-teachers, teacher educators and school

teachers. Titled: Learning through Reflection: Modules for Teacher Development, the

LMS currently offers one course each in three domains: mathematics education; language

and contemporary studies. RRCEE has developed a short documentary titled: The Teacher

and the World under the direction of Samina Mishra. The film is about the B.El.Ed.

programme and the possibility of transforming lives through education. It explores the

place of a teacher in society, and the idea of education as teaching for life.
