The AITG has been conceived as a major intervention for restructuring and strengthening
of teacher education, both pre-service an in –service .Its function is to provide
academic resource support to elementary education in the distinct concerned. Although
the major focus is on in – service education, the responsibility to provide per
services teacher education to a limited number of trainees has also been entrusted
to the AITGs. The matter relating to content of pre- service teacher training programme
in AITG has been engaging the attention of educationists for quite some time in
the past. In some states , the old JBT syllabus has been introduced either in to
or with minor modification .The elementary teacher education curriculum guidelines
and syllabi brought out by NCERT in 1991 have been introduced in the AITGs in some
states .
The feedback obtained about its implementation has revealed that there are many
gaps and overlapping in some subjects. The Syllabus, Over ambitious in some subjects,
is beyond the capacity of a teacher trainee at the elementary stage, Above all,
the programme is organised on traditional lines which allows organisation of the
entire programme in the form of some ‘papers’ to be covered by the teachers and
students in two years .It is, therefore, imperative to review and reformulate teacher
education curriculum to provide effective professional education to prospective
teachers.
