Abstract:
The Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP) under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 marks a transformative shift in India’s teacher education landscape. This research article critically examines ITEP’s innovative curriculum design, which integrates the Componential Flexible Curriculum (Bhattacharyya.D.2022) and the Tri-Dimensional Model (Academic, Skill, and Experiential Axes) under the National Credit Framework (NCrF). Through a qualitative analysis of policy documents, institutional frameworks, and empirical studies, the study highlights how ITEP addresses the limitations of traditional teacher education by fostering holistic development, stage-specific pedagogy, and experiential learning. Key findings reveal that the modular, credit-based structure of ITEP enhances teacher preparedness by blending disciplinary knowledge with pedagogical training, while the tri-dimensional approach ensures balanced growth across cognitive, practical, and ethical domains. Challenges such as institutional readiness, faculty capacity, and regulatory alignment are identified, alongside opportunities for inclusivity, technology integration, and improved graduate outcomes. The study underscores ITEP’s potential to produce reflective, adaptable educators aligned with 21st-century demands and concludes with recommendations for effective implementation and future research directions.
