Dear student,

We welcome you to our academic programme, Master of Arts (Education).

It is quite likely that this is going to be your first experience as a distance learner.

Youwillfindthattheprintedself-learningmaterialisthemastermedium. It is supplemented with audio and video programmes. You will also benefit from the counselling sessions organized at the programme study centre. Besides, the assignments submitted by you will be evaluated and you will receive feedback from the evaluators. Thus, there would be multiple modes through which we would be interacting with each other. As you know, education as a field of knowledge is growing day by day. Knowledge in education is as diverse as education itself. It evolves not only from the operational dimensions of education but also from theoretical and conceptual articulations with the perspectives of other disciplines. Knowledge in education comprises definitions, description and explanations of the varied aspects and components of education. Alongside, it also comprises knowledge that is essential equipment for personnel in education for carrying out their professional tasks or roles. Thus, knowledge in education is bothdisciplinaryandtechnical-professional. M.A.(Education)Programmewouldprovide you exposure to educational knowledge in all its diversity. The Courses of the Programme represent a comprehensive and distinctly educational knowledge, which is both disciplinary and technical- professional. Moreover, the programme would equip you adequatelywith the necessarycompetencies to participate effectively in educational actions in different areas of education and to engage in knowledge generation in education. This Programme Guide provides you with the important information about the programme viz., its objectives, structure, mode of delivery, counselling sessions, assignments, evaluation etc. The information provided in the booklet will help you to organize and systematize your study related to the various components of the programme. This will further facilitate your active participation in the counselling sessions and help you to submit assignments in time. It is expected that you will preserve this handbook to help you clarify your doubts during the programme.
