    B.Ed 1st Semester Syllabus – Childhood and Growing up

    Course: Childhood and Growing Up (Brief Syllabus)

    Childhood and Growing Up course in B.Ed Semester–I provides student teachers with a comprehensive understanding of learner development from childhood to adolescence. It focuses on the concepts, principles, and stages of growth and development, highlighting physical, cognitive, emotional, social, and moral dimensions as explained by major developmental theorists.
