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.
The syllabus examines the role of heredity and environment in shaping learner development and explains their interrelationship with special reference to the Indian context. Childhood is studied as a modern social construct influenced by factors such as poverty, globalization, and cultural diversity, emphasizing the role of parents and teachers in children’s physical and moral development.
The course further explores the process of socialization through family, school, and society, including parenting styles, child-rearing practices, schooling experiences, peer influence, and issues related to inclusion. Special focus is given to adolescence, covering its characteristics, stages of development, and contemporary challenges such as peer pressure, changing family structures, media influence, substance abuse, mental health concerns, and juvenile delinquency.
Finally, the syllabus addresses self-concept and moral development during adolescence, including self-esteem, social comparison, self-control, and moral reasoning from psychological and cultural perspectives. Overall, the course equips future teachers with essential insights to understand learners holistically and support their academic, social, and emotional development effectively.
