Abstract :
The study was conducted to compare teaching competency of pre-service student-teachers of B.Ed and D.El.Ed of DIET, Lunglei, Mizoram, India. The study was conducted on Descriptive Survey Method. The sample for the study consisted of 150 student–teachers comprising of 100 samples from D.El.Ed program and 50 samples from the B.Ed program respectively. A standardized General teaching Competency Scale (GTCS-PBLM) designed by B.K Passi& M.S Lalitha was used to find out the level of teaching competency among the selected samples. Analysis of data was done by testing the hypothesis of significant differences among student-teachers between B.Ed student-teachers and D.El.Ed student-teachers of DIET Lunglei, Lunglei district, Mizoram. The study found that there is no significant difference on the level of teaching competency between B.Ed and D.El.Ed student-teachers. Data showed that in both D.El.Ed and B.Ed skill of Presentation scored the highest followed by skill of Planning. The teachers are expected to teach for understanding rather than merely rote learning. Therefore, the concept of good teaching has been gradually shifted from behaviorist to a more constructivist view. As per constructivist view teachers are expected to be more like a facilitator. The findings will be helpful for teacher educators to assess and introspect for necessary improvement.
