Unit 30: NCF for Teacher Education (2009)

• Teacher education, it may be seen, is a reflective undertaking that also issues forth in Notes
pedagogical prescriptions for carrying out teaching at the ground level.
• Open Education as a concept, coupled with modalities associated with Distance Education,
does not stand as an exclusive transactional modality. There are several aspects of ODL
which will get meaningfully translated only if the boundaries between direct human
engagement and ODL tend to get diffused to the extent possible and perhaps, desirable.
