AbstractLessons from a pilot introduction of environmental education into a teacher education programme designed to address pupil disengagement from school science, are discussed in this paper. Pre-service teachers discovered that environmental education can be a potent context for creativity and continuity in curriculum planning. Interpretation of the responses demonstrates that environmental education can be used to develop scientific and eco-literacy and that pre-service teachers can be imaginative when offered the opportunity to link disparate areas of science in this context, but the timing of the intervention appears to be critical. Exposure to school culture appears to inhibit their ability to plan imaginatively. This has implications for pre-service teacher education and practising teachers internationally, if pupil disenchantment with science is to be halted.

The purpose of the present study is to explore the prospective teacher’s awareness about Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework in their ongoing teacher education programme. The sample comprised 80 B.Ed. students from two colleges of Jammu division and 20 M.Ed. students from one prominent university of the Jammu division. The investigator employed a self-constructed semi-structured tool as per the objective of the study. The study employed a descriptive exploratory design. The findings revealed that both at UG and PG level, students have individualised knowledge about technology, pedagogy and content but, the least number of students were familiar with this framework. The study included some concrete suggestions and recommendations for meaningful integration of Technology-mediated pedagogy in the ongoing teacher education programme at the regional and national level. The findings of the study help in strengthening the policy formulation for teacher education in the current perspective.
