a) Relevance with HEI’s Mission & Goals.

The Objectives of the programme as well as of Directorate of Distance

Education, University of Kashmir are conceptually linked with the Mission

and goals of our university in terms of its operation and commitment.

b) Nature of prospective target group of learners.

The target group comprise of those who want to pursue B.ED course

to improve their teaching skills and knowledge in pedagogy and

those who could not pursue teacher education in formal mode due

to employment, financial problems, limited intake in formal mode of

education.

c) Appropriateness of programme to be conducted in ODL mode to

acquire specific skills and competence.

The global need for teacher education is greater now in the early 21st

century than ever before. According to UNESCO, half of the world’s 195

countries will have to expand their stock of teachers significantly – some

by tens of thousands. India is no exception to it. Today, however, both

research and practice are displaying the marvelous opportunities in large-

scale education provision offered by open and distance learning (ODL).

Capitalizing on the strengths and alternatives afforded by innovative

information and communication technologies and mass media, ODL

widens and streamlines access to teacher education in a way that

traditional delivery modes cannot. Therefore it seems logical to offer B.Ed

though distance mode.

Instructional Design.

The methodology of instruction in this Directorate is different from that of the conventional

departments of our University. The distance education system is more learner-oriented and the

learner is an active participant in the pedagogical (teaching and learning) process. Most of the

instructions are imparted through open and distance methodology as per the requirement.

The Directorate follows a multimedia approach for instruction, which comprises:

a) Self-Instructional Printed Material: The printed study material (written in self-instructional

style of the programmes is supplied to the learners at the time of admission.

b) Audio-Visual Material Aids: The learning package contains audio and video CDs which have

been produced by the Directorate for better clarification and enhancement of

understanding of the course material given to the learners. The video material are also

screened at the headquarter during specific sessions which are duly notified for the benefit

of the learners.

c) Counseling Sessions: Normally counseling sessions are held as per schedule during the

contact prograame widely notified by the Directorate.

d) Practicals/Project Work/Workshops: Some Programmes of the Directorate have

practical/project component also. Practicals are held at designated institutions for which

schedule is provided by the Directorate. Workshops are also conducted to impart the skills

to the students. Attendance in practicals is compulsory.

Curriculum Design.

The B.Ed. curriculum shall provide for sustained engagement with the Self, the Child, Community

and School, at different levels, and through establishing close connections between different

curricular areas. The curriculum has been designed as per the NCTE curriculum framework.

a) RELEVANCE WITH HEI’S MISSION& GOALS.

Scope, Significance and Relevance:Ignorance of law is no excuse. Law has been

chosen as the main instrument of social change for achieving these goals in a welfare society. Some recently passed legislations has made a common man more powerful than legislatures itself. Enacting

5

law is not enough but a pre-requisite for enforcing ones rights subject to the condition that he has knowledge of or is aware about his rights. Constitutionally, we are committed to build a welfare state and attain egalitarian goals through democratic process. Generally speaking, some knowledge about law has become need of the hour for a common man. Besides ,the services of Lawmen are required not only for the conduct of cases in the courts but also by officials or officers working in corporations, companies, banks, government departments, law enforcement agencies, police ,consumer courts ,tribunals, commissions, revenue public and private sector undertakings etc. Their services are also needed for legislative drafting, arbitration and adjudication of disputes. The lawmen are called upon to act as advisors, negotiators, planners, administrators and draftsmen.

The importance of this necessitated enactment of new laws, which have become individual oriented and one must atleast possess knowledge of all such laws, not necessarily degree or professional oriented. In view of the above facts the Directorate Of Distance Education has launched the LL.B(ACADEMIC-2YEAR) PROGRAMME in 1976.It was also offered by other universities like , Kurukshetra University, Jammu University, Mudari Kamraj University,Annamali University Etc In 1980,s when there was wave of correspondence courses and Ll.B(Academic) a non-professional course of 2 years duration was also offered through distance mode and the trend continued till date in Kashmir University. The syllabus was revised from time time and recently in 2015 and new subjects,like Environmental Law, Public Service Guarantee Act, Rti, Consumer Protection Administrative Law ,Criminology & Pneal Administration were included.

The programme is purely of academic nature and has proved beneficial especially to persons associated with legal profession or employed in Judiciary, Police, Health, Education, Excise and Taxation, Labour Welfare and Management,Chartered Accountant

Firms, Banks, Transport, Insurance, Revenue and other Corporations and public or private undertakings. The target group comprise of those who want to pursue this course to improve their knowledge in law. In view of the change of socio-economic structure of the country, there has been growing desire among the people belonging to different walks of life to know more and more about special branches of law at least to gain knowledge about law for protection of their rights in this commercial/service oriented world.

c) APPROPRIATENESS OF PROGRAMME TO BE CONDUCTED IN ODL MODE TO ACQUIRE SPECIFIC SKILLS AND COMPETENCE. The objectives of the programme are as follows:

In 1980’s throughout India , UGC has approved pursuing LEGAL EDUCATION (through Distance Mode of Education) and our Directorate of Distance Education, University of Kashmir, had also been offering LL.B (Academic-2 year) programme since 1976 and stands approved with revision of syllabi and from time to time on need basis.

Mission & Objectives

Our Vision

We aspire to attain the status of an internationally reputed

institution of excellence in teaching, research and extension with a

dynamic and responsible learning community of high quality

scholarship with societal orientation.

Our Mission

We commit ourselves to the participatory engagement of teachers,

scholars, students and the civil society in innovative, creative and

progressive programs aimed at intellectual enlightenment and

emancipation at individual and societal levels.

Our Objective

To provide need based education in various disciplines to

large segments of population through Open and Distance

learning mode with the objective to reach the unreached.

To strive to promote equality and social justice and to reduce

social and cultural differences through diffusion of education.

To provide continuing education to the employed, women,

house wives and also to the business people.

To achieve and sustain excellence in all programmes and

activities.

To provide opportunities of higher learning to under privileged

segments of the society

To facilitate establishment of a globally recognized Institution

of Open & Distance Learning fully equipped with Information

2

2 P

and Communication Technology that empowers its

beneficiaries to carry forward the mission of generating

scholarship which meets the twin tests of academic excellence

and social relevance.

Our Objective

The programme aims to enable prospective teachers to achieve the

following objectives:

To organize experiences and strengthen the professional

competencies of teachers.

To imbibe knowledge and develop an understanding of the various

methods and approaches of organizing learning experiences of

school students among prospective teachers.

To develop skills required in selecting and organizing learning

experiences.

To understand the understanding of the role of home, school and

society in shaping the personality of the child.

To develop skills and attitudes involved in dealing with the

academic and personal problems of students.

To acquire knowledge and develop an understanding of the various

procedures and techniques of evaluation and their classroom

applications.

To develop skills involved in selecting, developing and using

evaluation tools.

To acquire knowledge and develop an understanding of various

aspects of school management.

To develop capabilities for organising various instructional and

student support activities.

To develop an appreciation of the role of the teacher in the

prevailing socio-cultural and political system in general and the

educational system in particular.

a) Relevance with HEI’s Mission & Goals.

The Objectives of the programme as well as of Directorate of Distance

Education, University of Kashmir are conceptually linked with the Mission

and goals of our university in terms of its operation and commitment.

b) Nature of prospective target group of learners.

The target group comprise of those who want to pursue

Mathematics course to improve their knowledge in Mathematics and

3

3 P

those who could not pursue higher education due to employment,

financial problems, limited intake in formal mode of education.

c) Appropriateness of programme to be conducted in ODL mode

to acquire specific skills and competence.

The need for teachers in Mathematics is greater now in the early

21st century than ever before. Half of the world’s 195 countries will have to expand their stock of teachers significantly especially

Mathematics teachers. India is no exception to it. Today, however,

both research and practice are displaying the marvelous

opportunities in large-scale education provision offered by open and

distance learning (ODL). Capitalizing on the strengths and

alternatives afforded by innovative information and communication

technologies and mass media, ODL widens and streamlines access

to the course in a way that traditional delivery modes cannot. Thus

it becomes imperative to offer the course through open and

distance learning mode of education.

d) Instructional Design.

a) Relevance with HEI’s Mission& Goals.

Change has become the order of the day. Education today has to keep itself ready for such a change. This puts a lot of responsibility on the shoulder of a teacher and the institutes imparting education. Education subject comes under the influence of behavioral sciences hence develops and modifies the behavior of students of higher education, inculcates social and moral value among aspirants and develop various teaching skill of in-service and pre-services teachers of Govt. and Private sector of education. Quality based and relevant education makes able to students with the knowledge, skills and core transferable competences they need to succeed after course completion, within a high quality learning environment which recognises and supports good teaching.

b) Nature of prospective target group of learners. The target group comprises of those who generally want to pursue M.A. Education programme in order to improve their knowledge about philosophical, sociological and psychological foundation of education and want to develop various teaching skills in the most comprehensive way and also to avail the tremendous job opportunities in Govt. and private education sector. Those learners who could not pursue higher education due to employment, financial problems, limited intake in the formal mode of education, or due to some other problem form the core target group of learners.

c) Appropriateness of programme to be conducted in ODL mode to acquire specific skills and competence. For an comprehensive development of our society, it is essential that the democratization of the propagation of knowledge becomes more meticulous and one way to achieve it is through distance education which is reaching the unreached and is proving highly beneficial for learners seeking to upgrade their educational qualification for achieving higher education, skill development, career enhancement, and above all, an improvement and refill of knowledge to become sensitive to the world around them.

With the helpful services of the regular department faculty and the available infrastructure, the efforts of the directorate towards providing efficient level of education can be determined from the fact that our students have qualified competitive examinations and have found placement in both academic and non-academic institutions. Many others have proceeded to pursue research. Most of our students have also found jobs in the private higher education sector.

Mission & Objectives

Our Vision

The Programme strives to create excellence in teaching, research and extension with a

dynamic and responsible learning community of high quality scholarship with societal

orientation.

Our Mission

We commit ourselves to the participatory engagement of teachers, scholars, students

and the civil society in innovative, creative and progressive programs aimed at

intellectual enlightenment and emancipation at individual and societal levels.

Our Objectives

In concordance with the institutional objectives, to provide need based

education in the discipline to large segments of population through Open and

Distance learning mode with the objective to reach the unreached.

To strive to promote equality and social justice and to reduce social and

cultural differences through diffusion of education.

To bring about critical emancipation among the learners through a rigorous

exposure to the language and literature of the established traditions.

To provide continuing education to the employed, women, house wives and

also to the business people.

To provide opportunities of higher learning to under privileged segments of

the society so as to harness their unrealized potential.

To facilitate establishment of a globally recognized Institution of Open &

Distance Learning fully equipped with Information and Communication

Technology that empowers its beneficiaries to carry forward the mission of

generating scholarship which meets the twin tests of academic excellence and

social relevance.

To continue to achieve and sustain excellence in all programmes and

activities.

a) Relevance with HEI’s Mission & Goals.

In the contemporary world, English is indisputably recognized as the major

international language and lies at the pinnacle among all the languages. This makes

the pursuit of M.A. English tremendously attractive in today’s globalized world.

Having a Masters in English, besides knowledge seeking endeavours, also offers a

wide scope in terms of employability, the best one being in the field of teaching itself.

Taking up a job in a private sector company or an Embassy is yet another innovative

prospect. One can also hope to become a promising journalist or opt for civil services

with this subject. Besides, one can take up further research in the subject like M. Phil

and Ph.D., thus making the pursuit of M.A. English all the more significant and

relevant in the present scenario.

b) Nature of prospective target group of learners.

The target group comprises of those who generally want to pursue M.A. English

programme in order to improve their knowledge about language and literature in the

most comprehensive way and also to avail the tremendous job opportunities that the

subject of English as a career option offers. Those learners who could not pursue

higher education due to employment, financial problems, limited intake in the formal

mode of education, or due to some other problem form the core target group of

learners.

c) Appropriateness of programme to be conducted in ODL mode to acquire specific

skills and competence.

For an inclusive progress of our society, it is imperative that the democratization of

the dissemination of knowledge becomes more rigorous and one way to achieve it is

through distance education which is reaching the unreached and is proving highly

beneficial for learners seeking to upgrade their educational qualification for achieving

higher education, skill development, career enhancement, and above all, an

improvement and replenishment of knowledge to become sensitive to the world

around them. In the M.A. English Programme, studying language and literature

enables those learners, who are not able to pursue regular learning for various

constraints, to develop sophisticated reading and writing skills besides harnessing

their critical outlook not only for an understanding, appreciation and evaluation of

literary texts but also the world around them. With the helpful services of the regular

department faculty and the available infrastructure, the efforts of the directorate

towards providing efficient level of education can be gauged from the fact that our

students have qualified competitive examinations and have found placement in both

academic and non-academic institutions. Many others have proceeded to pursue

research. Some of our students have also found jobs in the domain of journalism. Our

success is measured primarily by the significant enrollment that we witness in the

each academic year. A good number of In-service teachers and other professionals get

enrolled in the programme to update and enhance their professional skills. The

Programme shall continue its endeavours to evolve in view of the rapidly changing

scenarios in education especially with the swift technological innovations.
