Revised Regulations of Two Year B.Ed. Degree in Special Education—Intellectual Disability (w.e.f. 2015-2016)

Preamble

Both, Indian society (and hence) the Indian School system are full of strengths and challenges the essence of

which is diversity. Coming together with diverse background is part of our growing up and functioning in the society as

adults. But how are the classrooms which are known to be miniature societies and future societies handling this coming

together currently ? This is one of the key questions waiting to be addressed at macro as well as micro level today. As

we take the credit (and pride) of managing some of the obviously visible diversities quite well, it is high time that we

move on to dealing with lesser visible diversities in classrooms. Various subtle diversities are waiting to be identified by

classroom teachers if not by theorists and experts-dealing with these will come only after acknowledging them

systematically. Diversities related to learning styles, multiple intelligences, personality profiles or study habits are a few of

the factors yet to take their due places in classroom activities. Similarly diversity of abilities and hence of the related

educational needs, too are waiting to be addressed properly in Indian classrooms.

With this backdrop the current B. Ed. Special Education curriculum is revisited. After a lot of brainstorming this

curriculum has been developed to empower the special teachers/educators to ensure education of students with

disabilities in an inclusive, right based and barrier free environment. It is in tune with the reforms in Indian education and

teacher education system in general with specific reference to NCTE Notification of December 2014. It intends to place

teacher education preparation in special education in the rights- perspective of the larger picture. The prime intention is

to develop a task force of the special teachers/educators who can deliver the best in all settings: inclusive, special,

open or home based and in all the roles: classroom teacher, resource teacher, itinerant teacher or cross disability

teacher facilitators.

This document proposes the program structure for the duration of two years so that wide range of knowledge and

skills can be inculcated in trainee teachers during the program. Difference in philosophies and theories between special and

general education need to be bridged and special educators and teachers trained to collaborate to meet diverse needs in

the classroom. The program structure readies them for embarking on a fulfilling professional journey spurred by refection

and practices. Moving away from ‘show and tell’ to ‘learning by doing’, the course will be skill oriented, and offer

various opportunities of interaction with self, students, schools and communities.

The curriculum attempts at striking a balance between core knowledge (theory and pedagogy) and skills; cross

disability knowledge and skills, as well as disability specific knowledge and skills. The role of special educators has

changed dramatically, with a shift from direct provider of instruction to facilitator and consultant. A teacher would need

the first set of skills to develop a basic understanding of curriculum transaction and content pedagogical knowledge as

well as change agent, collaboration, communication and time management skills. Provision of the second set would be

required, since cross disability expertise is more relevant within the framework of inclusion; and a teacher would need the

third set to specialise in one of the disabilities particularly for serving the needs of children with specific disability in

inclusive as well as special setting.

Inclusion is at the educational centre stage today and hence the role of special and general teachers needs to be

operationalized systematically. To give the program more pragmatic relevance, issues related to projected needs,

employability, career and higher education options and entry level eligibility are given serious consideration so the

opportunities for a special educator are at par with teachers in general education. It is expected that so far separated

general and special education would initiate more bilateral collaborations with each other to fulfil the global objective of

Education for all.

INTRODUCTION

Education is considered as a fundamental right and the Right to Education Act of the Government of India (2009)

envisages that all children, including those with disabilities, must have access to free and compulsory education. The

constitution of India ensures equality, freedom, justice and dignity of all individuals and implicitly mandates an inclusive

society for all, including persons with disabilities. The last decade has seen the passing of three major legislations on

disability by the Government of India. The Rehabilitation Council of India Act (1992), Persons with Disability

Act (1995) and the National Trust Act (1999) have been enacted and implemented at both the Central and State level.

The National Policy for Persons with Disabilities, 2006 of the Government of India, recognizes that Persons with

Disabilities are valuable human resource for the country and seeks to create an environment that provides equal

opportunities, protection of their rights and full participation in society.

Over the past years there has been an increased awareness and advocacy about the civil, political, educational and

economic rights of persons with disabilities. The increasing recognition and emphasis on the needs and rights of people

with disabilities has resulted in a growing demand for special educators, policy makers, educational planners and

administrators involved in this field. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

(UNCRPD, 2006) has urged to recognize the right of persons with disabilities to education and ensure that children with

disabilities are not excluded from free and compulsory primary education, or from secondary education, on the basis of

disability.

Education of children with disability has been part of the Programme of Action (1992) and the National Policy

on Education (1986), in India. Currently educational provisions for children with disabilities are covered by ‘special

schools’ and integrated mainstream schools. Over 1.24 lakh children with disabilities have been integrated in over 20,000

mainstream schools under the Integrated Education for Disabled Children Scheme of the Ministry of HRD. At the

elementary level, under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) programme, over 14 lakh children with disabilities have been

enrolled. Despite efforts over the past three decades by the government and the non-government sector, to ensure that

children with disabilities are not excluded from free and compulsory primary and secondary education, according to the

National Sample Survey Office (2002) only 9 percent of the literate disabled population completed secondary and above

education. The educational facilities need to be made available to persons with disability to fulfill the international agenda

of ‘education for all’.

PERSPECTIVES AND GOALS OF THE COURSE

The National Policy for Persons with Disabilities (2006) recognizes that research be undertaken on the

socio-cultural aspects of disability and develop social indicators relating to the education of persons with disabilities so

as to analyze the problems involved and take up programmes to improve access and opportunities to education. The

National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCERT, 2000) has recommended inclusive schools for learners

with special educational needs by making appropriate modifications in the content, presentation and transaction strategies,

preparing teachers and developing learning friendly evaluation procedures.

OBJECTIVES OF M.Ed. SPECIAL EDUCATION (MR/ID)

According to the Rehabilitation Council of India, the M.Ed. Spl. Ed. program supports three shared philosophical

stances underlying long-standing tradition of preparing teacher educators as education leaders, which includes ‘teaching

as inquiry’, ‘teaching as curriculum making’ and ‘teaching for social justice. The objectives of M.Ed. Spl. Ed. program are to:

3.1. Assist potential teacher educators to exert leadership in advocating and meeting educational needs of children

with disabilities in various settings

533

1st NOV. 2016]

UNIVERSITY OF KERALA

140

3.2. Offer special teacher educators the opportunity to develop specialized capacity for leadership in curriculum,

pedagogy and universal design

3.3. Build theoretical knowledge and skills in research methodologies and conducting research in order to enhance

education of children with disabilities in all settings. M.Ed. Degree in Special Education (MR/ID) offered by

University of Kerala intends to:

3.4. Prepare special teacher educators to work in various educational institutions offering courses in Education and

Special Education (MR/ID) at different levels.

3.5. Prepare researchers to undertake independent research in various fields of Education and Special Education

(MR/ID).

3.6. Prepare educational planners and administrators to work as curriculum developers, director/head, project officers,

consultants and coordinators in institutions for Teacher Education and Special Education (MR/ID)

3.7. Prepare higher level rehabilitation professionals to plan and execute educational programs for mentally retarded

in regular/special schools

3.8. Prepare special teacher educators with pedagogic expertise of global standards.

REGULATIONS OF M.Ed SPECIAL EDUCATION (MR/ID)

4.1. Nomenclature: Nomenclature of M.Ed. Degree course in Special Education, as per the Curriculum Framework of

RCI (2015) will be M.Ed. Spl. Ed. (Name of Specialization in Disability). The new nomenclature for M.Ed. Degree

Course in Special Education (Mental Retardation) of the University of Kerala will be M.Ed. Spl.Ed. (MR/ID).

4.2. General Framework of M.Ed. Special Education (MR/ID): As per the Curriculum Framework of RCI (2015),

the course is Planned on the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), in accordance with the UGC guidelines

i.e., one credit is equivalent to one hour of teaching (lecture or tutorial) or two hours of practical works/

field per week. RCI also recommends practical work for each theory course besides these contact hours

including self study, assignments etc. which may involve same number of hours as are the contact hours

specified for each course. The course structure has three sets of courses

(1)

Core courses in every semester

(2)

Elective Foundation / Specialization courses that are value-based

(3)

Elective course which can be chosen from a pool of papers in order to support the discipline of study and

provide an expanded scope as well as exposure to some other discipline/domain depending on the options

available with the university/institution and nurture student proficiency skills

4.3. Duration: M.Ed. Special Education (MR/ID) will be of two years duration with two semesters in each year.

Each semester will be of 16 - 18 weeks; 2 weeks in summer and 2 weeks in inter semester break will also be

utilized for covering the courses. In this way the following operational weeks will be available for transacting

the course:

Year 1: 16-18 weeks for two semesters + 2 weeks in summer

Year 2: 16-18 weeks for two semesters + 2 weeks in inter-semester breaks

This comes to 64-72 weeks + 6 weeks for field activities/skill development with 40 credits in each year.

COURSE STRUCTURE FOR M.Ed. SPECIAL EDUCATION (MR/ID): M.Ed. Special Education (M.Ed. Spl. Ed.) of the

University of Kerala is presently being offered in the specialization area of Mental Retardation/Intellectual Disability
