  SUGGESTIONS • The coursesof studies both in theory and practice should be reorganised. For this a pragmatic research should be conducted by some universities to see the course structure, which will be helpful for realisation of the goals of teacher education. • The method of teaching in the teacher education departments should be such that it inspires a sense of appreciation among other departments of the universities and colleges • For development of professional attitude it will be advisable to organise various types of activities such as daily assembly programmes, community living, social work, library organisation and other curricular activities. • The admission procedures of B.Ed. should be completely systematised and steps should be taken to make it full proof against tempering and meddling as far as possible. • There should be a planning unit in each State Education Department. The function of this unit should be to regulate the demand and supply of teachers at various levels of schools.

  • The practisingschools have to be taken into confidence. For this the members of the staff of teachers colleges should be closely associated with the schools. • " Innovative practices of teaching such as microteaching, simulation and interaction analysis procedures should be encouraged. • The teacher education department should be made a nucleus for research on teaching curriculum and evaluation in the regular university departments. • For professional growth of teacher educators there should be seminars, summer internships and research symposia at more frequent intervals. • Proper provision of textbooks and reading material, including reference books in Hindi and regional languages in the field of teacher education. • The State Government should make adequate provision of funds for teacher education departments. Special assistance should be given for running an experimental school and holding of practice teaching sessions in various schools. • Correspondence courses in teacher education should be provided, with a strict and high screen for admissions and a rigorous manner of assessment. • Libraries are needed to be enriched with complete and comprehensive reference section equipped with all available journals and books for the teacher trainees as well as teachers.
