New Vision

India has one of the largest systems of teacher education in the world. Besides the university departments of education and their affiliated colleges, government and government aided institutions; private and self-financing colleges and open universities are also engaged in teacher education. Though most teacher education programmes are nearly identical yet their standards vary across institutions and universities. However, teacher education curriculum across the country has been blamed for ineptitude and needs urgent reforms. Teacher educators are a pivotal point of this programme and their opinion regarding the curriculum is very important. Keeping the above in mind, the present study aimed to find out the attitude of teacher educators towards existing teacher education curriculum and the needed renewal in teacher education curriculum. Data was collected from randomly selected 107 teacher educators working in colleges of education affiliated to GGSIPU and M.D.U. A five point attitude scale was developed by the researchers for the purpose of ascertaining their attitude. The findings revealed that teacher educators are largely in disagreement with the current curriculum and hold that a new vision needs to be made for the education of teachers as per the present needs of globalisation, RTE norms, and adoption of inclusive education.
