B.Ed. Biological Science

Course Objectives

• To develop a thorough understanding of biological concepts, principles, and processes relevant to secondary school education.
• To prepare competent teachers capable of explaining life science topics clearly and effectively.
• To cultivate scientific attitude, observation skills, and analytical thinking among student-teachers.
• To train future educators in modern pedagogical approaches for teaching Biological Science.
• To enhance practical skills in laboratory work, specimen study, and scientific demonstration.
• To equip trainees with assessment and evaluation techniques suited for science education.
• To foster environmental awareness and appreciation for biodiversity and sustainable living.

Pedagogy & Teaching Methodology

The programme adopts an activity-based, observation-oriented, and inquiry-driven approach to teaching. Student-teachers are trained to use demonstrations, experiments, specimen analysis, charts, models, and multimedia tools to make biological concepts clear and engaging. Emphasis is placed on experiential learning, field-based observation, and real-life application of biological knowledge.

Trainees learn effective lesson planning, classroom interaction methods, questioning techniques, and continuous assessment strategies. They are also introduced to modern instructional technologies that enhance visualization and understanding of complex biological processes. Through micro-teaching, demonstration lessons, and supervised teaching practice in schools, students gain practical experience and confidence in delivering science lessons.
