Demand was overwhelming with IIT Jodhpur receiving more than 450 applications. There is more to it than meets the eye as far as this course in IIT Jodhpur is concerned.

The success of the programme underscores the institute’s dedication to nurturing the next generation of educators who will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of India, say sources from IIT Jodhpur.

Starting in 2024, IIT Jodhpur offers the ITEP (B.Sc.-B.Ed.) for the Secondary Stage, with majors in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.

This programme is designed to address the critical needs of the Secondary Stage (classes IX to XII), a pivotal phase in a student’s educational journey that serves as a transition between school and higher education.

Challenges

The challenges at the Secondary Stage are significant, including the need to retain students within the school system, stream them according to their innate potential and interests, and prepare them with the necessary technological and discipline-specific exposure required for future academic and career pursuits.

IIT Jodhpur’s B.Sc.-B.Ed. program is uniquely positioned to address these challenges by combining its strengths in cutting-edge science disciplines with the expertise of a dedicated Center for Education & Technology for Education (CETE).

This multidisciplinary approach enables us to offer a high-quality curriculum that integrates scientific rigor with innovative educational practices, say sources from IIT Jodhpur.

It also aims bringing together the insights from India’s living tradition of the guru-shishya parampara which has been integral to the development and transmission of Indian Knowledge Systems coupled with best practices in STEM education and pedagogy for the secondary stage.

An important feature of the programme is its emphasis on integrating Education Technology in the curriculum, so that graduates of the programme will have strong Technological, Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK).

Fostering a deep commitment to Constitutional Values and Fundamental Duties is central to the programme, along with the development of Strong Ethics and Values and a Passion for Innovation in Teaching.

Furthermore, the programme emphasizes the importance of Effective Communication Skills, dedication to Lifelong Learning, and Empathy for Students’ Well-Being, ensuring that future educators are well-prepared to create supportive and inclusive learning environments.

Director of IIT Jodhpur

Prof. Avinash Kumar Agarwal, Director of IIT Jodhpur, expressed his pride in the overwhelming response to the B.Sc.-B.Ed. programme in its inaugural year.

He emphasized that this response is a testament to the trust and confidence that students and parents have in IIT Jodhpur’s vision for education.

Prof. Agarwal reiterated the institute’s commitment to producing educators who will not only excel in their subject areas but also lead the way in transforming education in India and nation-building.

Importance

Dr Rajlaxmi Chouhan, Head, CETE, IIT Jodhpur, highlighted the importance of the ITEP in addressing the specific needs of the Indian education system, particularly at the Secondary Stage.

She emphasized that the work being done at IIT Jodhpur’s CETE also serve to equip graduates with the skills and knowledge necessary to teach learners who now belong to a generation born and raised in technology-rich environments and have varying levels of digital literacy.
