Abstract
The main goal of teacher education programs, like the Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.), is to develop a deep understanding of different disciplines and academic subjects. To become effective teachers, a broad knowledge of various academic disciplines and subjects is crucial for students pursuing a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) degree. The course 'Understanding the Disciplines and Academic Subjects' is primarily offered in the B.Ed program for this purpose. This study examines faculty members' perceptions of a specific course and their challenges when teaching sub-topics. Research Question: What is the perception of B.Ed faculty members at Tamil Nadu Teachers Education University regarding the course 'Understanding Disciplines and School Subjects' in the B.Ed programme? What are the perceptions of B.Ed faculty members at Tamil Nadu Teachers Education University regarding the sub-topics of the course 'Understanding Disciplines and School Subjects' in the B.Ed programme? Research objectives: This study aims to investigate the perceptions of B.Ed faculty members regarding the course "Understanding Disciplines and School Subjects" in the B.Ed program at Tamil Nadu Teachers Education University.
