Abstract
The purpose of the study was to examine the extent of relevance of the
prevalent B.Ed. Curriculum regarding the development of the teaching skills. To
achieve this objective, data were collected from two sources: Review of the B.Ed.
Curriculum course outlines and the related textbooks. Interviews were conducted
from the teachers of the selected Colleges of Education and information
regarding the practices of their teaching for the development of teaching skills.
These were analyzed to see any content related to teaching skills and any
practice exercises for the development of these skills. The analysis of B.Ed.
Curriculum outlines and recommended textbooks revealed that they did not
contain appropriate knowledge, examples and practice exercises required for the
development of these teaching skills. It is, therefore, recommended that B.Ed.
Curriculum may be revised and appropriate topics related to the teaching skills
for effective teaching should be emphasized in the curriculum for enhancing the
teacher education quality. Teachers of Colleges of Education themselves were
not conversant with the teaching skills and methods of development of these skills
in prospective teachers. It is further recommended that appropriate teaching learning materials for development of these skills be developed for the use of
prospective teachers and teachers of Colleges of Education.
