B.Ed. Course Overview

The Bachelor of Education program is centered on the academic study of education and teacher preparation. At Himalaya Kiran Public Campus, B.Ed. also has particular institutional significance because it was the first program through which the campus began teaching in 2062 BS.

Purbanchal University's education curriculum connects educational theory with areas such as the foundations of education, curriculum, evaluation, teaching, and the relationship between education and society. Some professional courses are shared across its B.Ed. formats, giving students a grounding in educational thought and curriculum-related study.

Academic Background at Himalaya Kiran Public Campus

Himalaya Kiran Public Campus began its academic journey with B.Ed. on 2062/05/14. The first intake consisted of 60 students in a three-year Bachelor of Education program.

The campus subsequently expanded its education portfolio. One Year B.Ed. commenced on 2062/08/14, followed by the Master of Education program on 2069/05/12.

This sequence places Bachelor of Education at the foundation of the campus's development as a community-based higher education institution in Khandbari.

The stated seat capacity for the B.Ed. program is now 80.

Educational Foundations

A key area within Purbanchal University's B.Ed. studies is Philosophical and Sociological Foundations of Education. This professional course is identified as common to the three-year B.Ed. and One Year B.Ed. programs.

The course examines education as a field of study and considers the meaning, nature, functions, and forms of education. It also covers Eastern and Western philosophical traditions and their connections with educational aims, teaching, learning, curriculum, and evaluation.

Other areas include the relationship between education and society, the teaching profession, educational development in Nepal, and national and international perspectives connected with education.

Curriculum and Evaluation

Curriculum and Evaluation is another professional education subject identified within Purbanchal University's B.Ed. framework as common to the three-year and One Year B.Ed. programs.

Its academic areas include:

meaning and scope of curriculum;
relationship between curriculum and course of study;
sources and foundations of curriculum;
curriculum development processes;
curriculum design;
learning objectives and content selection;
assessment and evaluation concepts;
preparation and use of evaluation tools; and
review and analysis of school-level curriculum.

The course connects curriculum theory with the practical questions involved in planning learning experiences and assessing student achievement.

Education, Society, and the Teaching Profession

B.Ed. study includes attention to education within its social setting. Educational foundations examine how philosophical ideas and social conditions relate to educational purpose, institutions, teaching, and learners.

The curriculum also addresses teaching as a profession and considers the historical development of education in Nepal. These areas provide students with a broader academic context for understanding schools and educational practice rather than limiting study to classroom methods alone.

Curriculum Planning and Assessment

Study of curriculum and evaluation introduces students to the process through which curriculum is planned, organized, applied, and assessed.

Students encounter concepts related to educational objectives, learning experiences, content selection, measurement, assessment, and evaluation. The curriculum also includes analysis of existing school-level curricula in Nepal.

This part of B.Ed. study links educational theory with decisions teachers make about what is taught, how learning is organized, and how student progress is assessed.

Learning Focus

The academic areas associated with B.Ed. develop understanding across several connected parts of education:

educational philosophy and sociology;
education and society;
curriculum theory and development;
educational objectives;
assessment and evaluation;
school curriculum;
teaching as a profession; and
educational development in Nepal.

Rather than treating education only as subject teaching, these areas examine the wider academic and social framework within which teaching and schooling take place.

Progression to Master of Education

Himalaya Kiran Public Campus also offers the Master of Education (M.Ed.) under Purbanchal University.

Purbanchal University's M.Ed. admission criteria include graduates holding a B.Ed. degree of one, two, or three years from Purbanchal University or a university recognized by Purbanchal University.
