Dear student,
We welcome you to our academic programme, Master of Arts (Education).
At the very beginning we would like to tell you that following your enrolment in this programme,
you have become a student of Indira Gandhi National Open University, which offers educational
programmes through the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) mode. It is quite likely that this is
going to be your first experience as a distance learner. Unlike other educational institutions where
teaching and learning take place in a face-to-face manner, IGNOU adopts a multi-media approach
to facilitate teaching-learning. You will find that the printed self-learning material is the master medium.
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 both disciplinary and technical-professional. M.A. (Education) Programme would provide
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 adequately with the necessary competencies
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.

With best wishes

3. INSTRUCTIONAL SYSTEM
The M.A. (Education) programme instructional system includes the multi-media approach, i.e., self-
instructional print material, audio/video components, assignments, counselling sessions, teleconferencing,
interactive radio couselling and dissertation work.
Printed Material
The print materials are the self-instructional materials for both theory and practical components of
the programme. It is supplied to the students in the form of blocks. Each block contains generally
3-5 units. The university sends study material and assignments to the students by registered post
and if a student does not receive the same for any reason whatsoever, the university shall not be
responsible for that.

22
Audio and Video Programmes
The audio and video programmes are supplementary, meant for clarification and enhancement of
understanding. These are used during counselling and workshop sessions at the programme study
centre. Besides, the video programmes are telecast on the national network of Gyan Darshan and
audio programmes are broadcast on Gyan Vani Channel. Learners can confirm the dates for the
programmes from their programme study centres. The information is also provided through IGNOU
Newsletter called OPEN LETTER which is sent to the learners periodically.
Assignments
Assignments are an integral and compulsory component of the instructional system. There is one
tutor-marked assignment for each theory course. Students will have to work on these assignments.
Assignments are generally sent to the students along with the study materials. They are also available
on IGNOU Website: www.ignou.ac.in. These assignments are to be submitted to the
programme study centre in accordance with the submission schedule to be provided by the Programme
In-charge. Further details about assignments are discussed under general information about assignments
on pages __ .
Academic Counselling Sessions
Academic counseling sessions will be quite different from the usual classroom teaching. These
would not be in the form of lectures. The main purpose of such sessions is to clarify your doubts
pertaining to different aspects of a course and answer to your questions. These sessions would give
an opportunity to meet your peers. Although these sessions are not compulsory, they may be very
helpful to you in sharing your views on the contents with the academic counselors and fellow students,
comprehending certain difficult concepts or issues and getting clarifications for many of your doubts.
Before you go to attend the counseling session, please go through your course materials. Unless
you have gone through the Units/Blocks, you would not be able to identify the areas of difficulty
and discuss them.
Generally, the academic counselling sessions will be held at the programme study centres during
weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) and long holidays. Within the general schedule of the programme,
the coordinators at the programme study centres will decide on the conduct of these sessions. The
programme study centre coordinators will also provide the counselling schedule. The counselling
sessions will include clarifications required on the print material and audio/video programmes through
active interaction with students. You are requested to contact the study centre coordinator for
counseling schedule.
Teleconferencing
To provide more clarity and understanding, two-way audio and one-way video facility will be used.
Live sessions will be conducted from the University studios at EMPC. You have to go to the Regional
Centres for taking the benefit of this facility.
Interactive Radio Counselling
Interactive radio counselling (IRC) is a recent concept in distance learning in India. Invited experts
provide life counseling on radio. Students can ask questions right from their homes on telephone.
These sessions are generally conducted on Sundays from 4 pm. A toll free telephone number
1600112345 has been provided for this purpose from selected cities.
Dissertation Work
Dissertation is a 10-credit course, which is to be completed by the students in the second year
of the two-year M.A. (Education) programme. In order to fulfill the requirements of the course,

23
a student is expected to carry out research work on a problem identified by her/him. The problem
may be based on any of the compulsory courses or the specialized courses. He/she has to pursue
the dissertation work under the supervision of a guide approved by the University. At the end
of the dissertation work, he/she has to submit the dissertation report to the Concerned Regional
Centre for evaluation. A detailed Handbook on Dissertation work i.e. MESP-001 will be sent to
the students in the second year dispatch.

4. DELIVERY SYSTEM

6. EVALUATION
The system of evaluation for theory courses is as follows:
 Check your progress within each unit of study (non-credit).
 Continuous evaluation in the form of periodic compulsory assignments. This carries a weight
age of 30% for each course. The scores on these assignments will be considered for declaring
the students successful in that course.
 The term-end examination (TEE) has a weightage of 70% of the total for each course. Term-
end examination will be held in June/December every year. Students admitted in January Cycle/
session will be eligible to appear for TEE in December for the first time and the students
admitted in July Cycle/session will be eligible to appear for TEE in December for the first
time. The students are specifically instructed to send Examination Forms to the Registrar (SED).
Kindly see Examination Forms for further details.
 For dissertation course, evaluation comprises student performance both in dissertation report
and the Viva-voce. The overall grade on the dissertation is arrived at by taking into account
the grade obtained by the student on the dissertation report and the grade received from the
Viva-Voce. The weightage given to dissertation and viva-voce is 70% and 30% respectively.
The student will have to obtain at least D grade in each theory course in both continuous
and terminal evaluation separately. However, the overall average grade in both continuous
and term-end examination should be at least C grade for the successful completion of a
course. The student has to obtain at least C grade separately in dissertation and viva-
voce for successful completion of the course. The students are specially instructed to send
Examination Forms to Registrar (SED) only and to no other place and they are also advised
to submit the Registration/Re-registration Forms only at the respective Regional Centres/
Sub-regional Centre and nowhere else. If any student sends the Registration/Re-registration
Forms, Examination Forms at wrong places and thereby misses the scheduled date and
consequently a semester/year, he/she will have no claim on the University for regularization.
If a student has missed any term-end examination of a course for any reason, he/she may appear
for the subsequent term-end examination. This facility will be available until a student secures the
minimum pass grade, but only up to a period of five years, i.e. maximum duration of M.A.(Education)
programme from the date of registration.
The letter grade system is used for evaluating continuous and terminal examination components. These
letter grades are as given below.

Letter Grade Qualitative Level Point Grade Percentage (%)

A Excellent 5 80% & above
B Very Good 4 60-79.9%
C Good 3 50-59.9%
D Satisfactory 2 40-49.9%
E Unsatisfactory 1 Below 40%

25
The student will be declared successful if he/she scores at least C grade in each of the theory courses
and dissertation separately.

7. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT ASSIGNMENTS

Submission of Assignments

The purpose of asking you to work on the assignment is to test your capacity of transferring the
theoretical learning from the course to practical situation. Thus, the assignments are practical or applied
in nature. The answers are to be based on your own judgment and experience. You should not
reproduce the text materials or copy the information from other sources. However, you may use
the course material and any other sources of information you have for ready reference. But the
answer should be in your own words and should reflect your own ideas. You do not have to worry
about non-availability of extra reading materials for working on the assignments. They are designed
in such a way so as to guide you to integrate the knowledge of the course materials with your
concrete personal experiences. Please note that the assignments carry the weightage of 30% towards
the final evaluation of theory courses and submission of related assignments is a pre-requisite for
appearing in theory term-end examination for respective courses. If you do not complete the
assignments, according to time schedule of assignments of the given year, then you have to attempt
new assignment(s) of next academic year.

The following points should be kept in mind when you prepare the assignments:

I. Make the answer concise and systematic. Always try to avoid irrelevant details and focus
on the question and its various aspects.

II. Take care of the word limit wherever specified in the assignments. Please stick to the word
limit as far as possible. At the same time, make the descriptions adequate and not too short.
The word limit is set to sharpen the focus of the responses and not to restrict your expression.

III. You have to write the answers in your own handwriting.

IV. Orientation to the assignments will be provided in the Counselling sessions. You have
to send the assignment-responses to the Programme Study Centre you are attached
to as per the date set for each assignment by the Programme Study Centre.

How to send-in completed ‘Assignment-Responses’ and other Issues

1. Write your enrollment no., name and full address and date at the top right hand corner of
the first page of your assignment response(s).

2. Write the course title code and assignment code in capital letters in the centre at the top
of the first page of your response(s).

(Leave the top left-hand corner blank for office use). The top of the first page of your
responses(s) should look something like this:

26
 Course Title ............ ………………………………….
Course Code……………………………………
Assignment Code .........................................................
Enrollment No. ...............................................................
Name..............................................................................
Address ..........................................................................
Date................................................................................

(Please follow the format strictly. If you do not follow this format we will be obliged to return
your responses to you for resubmission. If you do not write your enrollment number and address,
your assignment-responses are likely to be lost.)
3. The assignment-response should be complete in all respects. Incomplete responses will bring
you poor grades. Don’t send responses piece-meal, they may never be put together in our
offices.
4. Use only foolscap size paper for your responses. Use good writing paper, not the very thin
variety.
5. Leave a 3/2” margin on the left, and at least 4 lines in between each answer in an assignment-
response. This will enable the resource person evaluating the response to write useful comments
at appropriate places.
6. Make sure that you answer the questions on the basis of the study materials sent to you.
7. You should not send printed articles as your answers to assignments.
8. Please keep a copy of the assignment responses that you send us. You may need
this in case you have to resubmit it in a situation when it is lost in postal transmit.
9. Remember that any two or more answers to a particular assignment, if found to be identical
or very similar, will either be returned unmarked’ or awarded very low grades. It is entirely
the discretion of the evaluator to ask you to re-do the assignments or give a very low grade
in such cases.
10. Please submit the assignment to the Programme Incharge (PIC) of the concerned Programme
Study Centre by the specified date. If the last date for the submission of assignment falls on
a holiday, the assignment response should be submitted on the following working day.
Some Do’s and Don’ts about writing assignments
Do’s
 When you receive a set of materials, units and assignments, check them immediately and ask
for the missing page(s)/Unit(s)/assignment(s), if any. If you wait till you start writing answers to
the assignments, you will lose valuable time.
 Write your Enrollment Number correctly. A slight change in the number may put the University
and you to trouble.
 Maintain an account of assignment-responses sent to the concerned Programme Study Centre
and the corrected responses received by you. This will help you to maintain the schedule of
your work and avoid any difficulties and disappointments caused by unintended gaps in
communication.
27
 Do your work regularly. You should remember that by working regularly you get a chance to
do better in later assignments because you can benefit from comments received by you on the
assignment.
Don’ts
 Do not write your assignments/letters on thin paper.
 Do not write your enrollment number, course title, etc., on a separate sheet and then paste/
pin/tie it to the assignment. Write the enrollment number and the name on the top of assignment-
response itself.
 Do not over-write, particularly, while writing your enrollment number and the assignment number.
Let these be very distinct and clear.
 Do not remind the Programme Centre concerned to send back corrected responses. These will
be sent to you at the earliest possible opportunity, if you follow the deadlines for submitting
them.
 Do not misplace/lose your graded assignment-responses. You will need them till the Programme
is over.
 Do not enclose doubts for clarification, if any, along with the responses. Send them separately
giving your enrollment number, name, address, and the title of the course, the number of the
unit or the assignment. In case you want to draw our attention to something of urgent/important
nature, send it in a separate cover.
 Do not lift sentence(s)/paragraph(s) from the text without giving the reference while answering
the assignments.
 Do not get admitted to more than one Programme of the University simultaneously. The University
Regulations do not allow it.

ASSIGNMENT-SUBMISSION SCHEDULE FOR M.A.

(EDDUCATION) PROGRAMME
It will help you to complete the assignment in time if you start working on the assignments as soon
as you get the print material. You should pace out your work, in such a way that the assignment
for each theory course is submitted by the date decided by the Programme In-charge of the Programme
Study Centre. You are advised to consult the Programme In-charge for submission of assignment.
Kindly stick to the dates of assignment submission as set for each assignment by the Programme
Study Centre.

8. TERM-END EXAMINATION
As stated earlier, term-end examination is another component of the evaluation system. Term-end
examination carries 70% weightage in the final result.
The University conducts term-end examination twice a year, i.e. in June and in December. If you
are enrolled in January Cycle of the programme, you can take the first year examination of M.A.
(Education) in December after the completion of the minimum one-year. You can take the examination
also of MA (Education) First year in June/December of subsequent years. The MA (Education) second
year examination can be taken in December after completion of two years duration of the programme.
Similarly, if you are enrolled in the July Cycle of the Programme, you can take the first year examination
of MA (Education) in June after the completion of the minimum one year. You can also take the
examination of MA (Education) First year in June/December of subsequent years. Further, in case
you fail to get a pass score (D grade) in the Term-end Examination, you will be eligible to re-
appear in any subsequent Term-end Examination for that course as and when it is held, within the
final span of the programme.
To be eligible to appear at the term-end examination in any course, you are required to fulfill the
following three conditions:
1. You should have opted and pursued the prescribed course.
2. You should have completed the submission of assignments for the respective courses.
3. Please see the sample Term-end Examination Form in Appendix-5
4. You should submit the examination form in time. You should obtain authentication certificate
duly signed by the Coordinator of the Programme Study Centre before submitting the
examination form.
Examination date sheets (schedule which indicate the date and time of examination for each course)
are sent to all the programme study centres approximately 5 months in advance. The same is also
notified through the IGNOU Newsletter from time to time. Thus, normally, the date sheet for December
examination is sent in the month of July.
It is a pre-requisite to submit the Examination Form with a fees of Rs. 60/- per course in the form
of demand draft drawn in favour of IGNOU and payable at New Delhi for taking an examination
in any course. Copies of the examination forms are available at Programme Study Centres/Regional

is given at the end in this Programme guide.
Only one form is to be submitted for all the courses in one term-end examination.
 It is advisable that students fill-up the examination form without waiting for the result of the
previous examination. No Examination fee is required to be paid for the courses for which
the student appeared in the preceding TEE and the result has not been declared on the date
of submission of the Examination form.
 Term-end Examination result is also available on the university website i.e., www.ignou.ac.in
Please see the result status before filling examination form.

Programme Study Centre is the contact point for you. The university cannot send communications
to all the students individually. All the important communications are sent to the Coordinators of
the Programme Study Centres and Regional Directors. The coordinators will display a copy of such
important circular/notification on the notice board of the programme centre for the benefit of all the
students. You are therefore, advised to get in touch with your coordinator so as to get the latest
information about assignments, submission of examination forms, date sheet, list of students admitted
to a particular examination, declaration of results, etc. While communicating with the University
regarding examinations, please write your enrollment number and complete address clearly. In the
absence of such details, your problems may not receive due attention.

9. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Please file all letters that the University sends you, and keep the Programme Guide handy.
A record of your progress is maintained at our Computer Division.
2. Do write to us if you have any difficulties or problems while working through the Programme.
Remember to intimate the relevant authority sufficiently in advance, if there is any change of
address. This will help the concerned official to send your learning materials and letters promptly,
without any risk of their being lost.

30
3. All types of communications are attended to as quickly as we can. It is, however, desirable
that you make your letters brief and precise. If your letters present irrelevant details or/and
are written in ambiguous language, our responses to your queries will invariably get delayed.
4. Keep a timetable schedule for you and always try to stick to it. Be regular in your work.
Much of your job will become easy.
5. In your own timetable you must make provision for unforeseen difficulties, such as illness, official
duties, various social obligations, etc. By doing so, you will save yourself from unexpected
delays and forced/unwanted postponements. The golden principle is to do today what you
may have planned to do tomorrow.
6. Along with printed materials, the other inputs that you will receive are audio-video programmes,
counselling sessions, and dissertation guidance. On the basis of these inputs you will write
assignments, carry out dissertation, and prepare for the final examinations.
7. When you receive the printed material, read the Units carefully and note down the important
points. You can use the space in the broad margin of the pages for making notes and writing
your comments. Try to answer ‘Check Your Progress’ questions. Please remember that the
answers to these questions are not to be sent to us. The purpose is to enable you to
evaluate your own performance by yourself and to keep you on the right track. That is why
they are called ‘Self-Check’ questions. They will enable you to realize whether you have
comprehended what you have read. If you are not satisfied with your answers, do not get
disappointed. You can compare your answers with the model answers and see where
improvement is needed. (At times, it is possible that you may have a better answer than the
one we presented. We welcome your suggestions). In any case they would help you reinforce
the information/knowledge you gain through your first reading of the text. The University reserves
the right to change the rules detailed in this Programme Guide. However, you will be informed
of those changes through supplementary circulars well in advance.
