HTET PRT Syllabus 2025 (Level I – Primary Teacher)
Part-I Syllabus for Child Development and Pedagogy
A) Child Development and Pedagogy
1. Concept of Development and Its Relationship with Learning
Development is a continuous process involving physical, cognitive, emotional, and social changes.
Learning is a part of development and is influenced by it; both go hand in hand.
Cognitive development (e.g., thinking, reasoning) supports learning capacity.
2. Principles of Development
Development is predictable, proceeds from general to specific, and from head to toe (cephalocaudal).
It occurs in stages (infancy, childhood, adolescence), and varies across individuals.
Influenced by heredity (genetic factors) and environment (family, culture, education).
3. Socialization Processes
Socialization is how children learn norms, values, and behaviors through interaction.
Key agents: Parents, Teachers, and Peers.
Positive socialization fosters moral development, empathy, and cooperation.
4. Theories of Development
Jean Piaget: Cognitive development in stages (sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, formal operational).
Lev Vygotsky: Emphasized social interaction and language; introduced Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD).
Lawrence Kohlberg: Moral development theory in three levels (pre-conventional, conventional, post-conventional).
5. Child-Centered and Progressive Education
Emphasizes active learning, respect for child’s pace, and constructivist approaches.
Based on John Dewey’s ideas: education should relate to real-life experiences.
6. Intelligence
Traditional view: IQ as a single measurable ability.
Critical view: Intelligence is multi-dimensional (e.g., Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences: linguistic, logical, musical, interpersonal, etc.).
Intelligence is developable and context-dependent.
7. Language and Thought
Language helps structure thinking.
Vygotsky: Language and thought develop together; inner speech helps with problem-solving.
8. Gender as a Social Construct
Gender roles are shaped by society, not biology.
Gender bias in education must be addressed through gender-sensitive teaching.
9. Individual Differences
Learners vary in language, caste, gender, religion, community.
Teachers must adapt methods to suit diverse backgrounds and needs.
10. Assessment in Education
Assessment for Learning: Ongoing, helps improve teaching and learning.
Assessment of Learning: Summative, evaluates what has been learned.
School-Based Assessment: Context-specific and continuous.
CCE (Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation): Emphasizes regular assessment of both academic and co-scholastic areas.
11. Formulating Questions
Design questions to:
Assess readiness
Stimulate critical thinking
Measure achievement and understanding
B) Inclusive Education and Pedagogy
1. Inclusive Education
Ensures equal learning opportunities for all, regardless of ability or background.
Promotes equity and participation.
2. Understanding Children with Special Needs
Includes learners with:
Learning difficulties (e.g., dyslexia)
Impairments (visual, auditory, motor)
Talents or creativity (gifted learners)
Requires differentiated instruction, use of aids, and empathetic teaching.
3. Learning and Pedagogy
Understand how children think, learn, and construct knowledge.
Failures in school often relate to teaching methods or lack of support, not intelligence.
4. Teaching-Learning Process
Learning is social, influenced by interaction and context.
Use activity-based learning, problem-solving tasks, and discussions.
5. Child as Problem Solver
Children are naturally curious and explore actively.
Encourage scientific thinking and experimentation.
6. Alternative Conceptions and Errors
Misconceptions are part of the learning process.
Errors help diagnose thinking patterns and guide instruction.
7. Cognition and Emotions
Emotions influence attention, memory, and motivation.
Safe, supportive environments enhance learning.
8. Motivation
Intrinsic (curiosity, interest) and extrinsic (rewards, praise).
Teachers should foster intrinsic motivation through meaningful tasks.
9. Factors Influencing Learning
Personal: motivation, health, interest, prior knowledge.
Environmental: family background, peer group, classroom climate.
