Preface The National Council for Teacher Education has requested the University to revise the curriculum of Teacher Education programmes in the light of National Curriculum Framework for Teacher Education 2009. University of Calicut is a forerunner in revising the B.Ed. curriculum. But the M.Ed. curriculum was left untouched for quite a long time. The present M.Ed. curriculum will not be a challenge for the forthcoming B.Ed. holders of the University of Calicut. Hence, in the first meeting of the newly constituted PG Board of Studies in Education, held on 26th June 2013, it was unanimously decided to revise the existing M.Ed. curriculum. A working group was constituted to develop a broad frame work of the programme. The working group met on 11th July 2013 and developed the framework for the revision of M.Ed. curriculum. The out of the house meeting of the PG Board of Studies in Education held on 25th July 2013 approved the framework and constituted 28 Expert Committees to prepare Syllabus of 6 Core Courses and 25 Specialisation Courses. As such the task was assigned to the Expert Committees and they have prepared the syllabus. University has conducted a Workshop on 13th August 2013. In the Plenary Session Prof. A. Faziluddin presented the Structure, Regulation and Scheme of Examination of the revised M.Ed. programme. It was followed by Presentation Session under the chairmanship of Prof. (Dr) P. Kelu in which the Expert Committees presented gist of the drafted syllabus. The Working Group met on 22nd August 2013 at Farook Training College modified the Structure, Regulation and Scheme of Examination based on the suggestions of the participants of the Workshop. The Working Group once again met on 31st August 2013 at Tagore Nikethan and consolidated the syllabus. The draft M.Ed. curriculum was uploaded in the University Website and a press release was given inviting suggestions from educationists, teachers, teacher educators, research scholars and students. The responses were encouraging. The Board of Studies met on 6th September 2013 modified the curriculum based on the suggestions e‐mailed by stakeholders and approved it.
I wish to record my sincere gratitude and immense indebtedness to Dr. M. Abdul Salam, Hon. Vice Chancellor and Prof. K. Raveendranath our Pro Vice Chancellor who have blessed us with their valuable suggestions and scholarly advice in materialising this venture in each phase of its development. I am obliged to all teacher educators of the University’s Department of Education, Government Colleges, Aided Colleges, University Teacher Education Centres and Self Financing Colleges who have contributed in this prestigious effort. I also extend a word of gratitude to Dr. P.P. Noushad who designed the entire graphic works in the curriculum.
I am quite confident that the newly developed M. Ed curriculum will be a model for other Indian Universities too. Hope the curriculum will be a catalyst for professionalising Teacher Education at the Post Graduate level. University of Calicut dedicates this curriculum to those who love education and admire the profession of an educationist.
