In the year 2003, Anand College
of Education, Anand (Self Financed), Put its
tender foot in the field of education. In the year 2004-2005,
it has firmly established itself and delivered 100 B.Ed. trainees
in various methods like Mathematics, Science, English, Gujarati,
Sanskrit, Hindi, Commerce, Economics and History.
The
results of the College and University examinations conducted
during the year, have endorsed the remarkable qualities of
teaching-learning process at our college. The process of value
addition and quality improvement is continuing. Thus the vision
and mission set up by the founders of Ramkrishana Seva Mandal
(established on 15th August 1954) and the
present management is getting fulfilled through active participation
of students, staff members, expert academicians and office
bearers of the trust.
The college offers Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.)
Course. The mode of selection of candidates is based on marks
obtained in qualifying examination of the university. The
criteria for admission are as per NCTE norms. The academic
calendar of the session is as per NCTE and Sardar
Patel University, Vallabh Vidyanagar.
The
minimum number of Practice teaching lessons given by each
student is 40, total 4000.This year the State Educational
Department GCERT introduced 6 internship
lessons for each students, total 600. For internship lessons
the students went to the interior rural schools in Gujarat
and did lots of co-curricular activities there. The reports
from the principals of various schools are positive and very
encouraging to the College. The overall performance of the
students was very good. There were 96 students who appeared
for the final examinations. The result is 99%. The entire
schedule and functioning of college viz, college time-table,
academic calendar, micro-block teaching, internship, social
work are prepared well in advance and are conducted as per
the NCTE norms.
It is great pleasure for me to introduce our college
as it is in the initial stage and yet already establish
as a well-reputed college of Bachelor of Education.
Everyone
is aware of the rate of increase in the number of B.Ed
colleges in the past few years. In such environment
where quality is compromised everywhere, I am glad to say
that we are the one who had never compromised with quality
as it is the responsibility of training colleges to provide
good teacher to the society. The reason of this rapid increase
in number of colleges can be found from the simple principle
of commerce that as demand increases, production also increases.
But society is demanding quality education, quality assurance
from the self financed colleges. Within few years the picture
will be clear in the educational society regarding the aims
and goals of these new institutions. In this way the colleges
with no vision in education will be rectified. Here the Darwin’s
theory of survival of the fittest, is applicable.
Today society is going under rapid renovation. Renovation
in living life, renovation in habits, renovation in values,
renovation in culture, renovation in their expectations from
a school. Due to these rapid changes, the person has to run
to keep himself at the position where he is; otherwise he
will be well behind the others. The steady improvement in
educational technology and lowering costs of technology has
made everyone equipped with new electronic equipments. Today
everyone is engaged in giving technical education. But above
all of these the fundamental question remains unanswered that
why a person wants to become a Teacher? What are the concepts
with which a student enters the B.Ed. College?
By addressing such concepts and modifying their concepts in
such a way that they become mobile in nature so that we do
not prepare a statue of person who possess a block of certain
knowledge. We train the teacher students to develop certain
skills which are necessary to e a teacher in context of Indian
society. We cerates environment amongst students to feel them
the value and responsibility that comes when they become a
Teacher. We do not ignite the flame of candle but we try to
ignite the match stick that can ignite many candles.
We
are aiming to gain certain image of our college in the areas
like Trust, Reliability, Validity, Mobility, Discipline
and advancement.
The
syllabus of the B.Ed. course is designed
to provide the most in-demand skills and is updated regularly.
The
B.Ed. course comprises of six papers to provide
theoretical knowledge of the areas relating to education.
Below is the title given of each paper along with nutshell

As
a part of B.Ed. program trainees
have to submit various submissions such as Psychological
tests, case study, teaching aids, blue-prints, text
book evaluation, tutorials, blue print, test-items
field work and various submissions were completed
by the trainees.
With this trainees have to do prayer regularly in
the beginning of the day. They have to also give a
small talk on any relevant topic. The highlighting
feature of this activity is that each trainee has
to do this as his or her turn comes. This provides
platform to trainees to gain confidence.
Anand
Education College is in the Educational complex of Shri Ramkrishna
Seva Mandal. It has hostel facility for the students’
Rooms of the hostel are spacious and airy. The students are
served nutritive food.
“I
was moderate student during my study days and had never taken
part in any of the open competition or never spoken publicly.
But after entering this college, I had got enough exposure
within first few days of the college that I gained confidence
in myself. Activities like prayer, prayer speech, lessons,
tutorials etc. boosted me to perform well and to bring out
my hidden abilities. I had enjoyed communication and integration
with the faculty, friends and moreover the students to whom
I had taught. Principal and the faculty was very co-operative
and always monitoring us for our improvement. In short I will
remember my study days at Anand College Of Education
(self finance) through out my life.”
(Bhetaria Nitin, 2005)
“I am very grateful to God since I got the chance for studying
in the Anand College of Education (self finance).
When I had gone for interview for admission, I had decided
that I will only prefer ACE, not because
that many past students had recommended me but it was the
only best option. Initially my perception towards B.Ed.
was similar to any ordinary student who thinks the B.Ed.
College as the other colleges of science, arts and commerce.
There was everything that a training college should have a
good leadership of enthusiastic principal Dr. Rinaben
Vora, a required skilled faculty, good infrastructure,
good reputation, personal attention to everyone, required
motivation at each stage. I had developed myself in ACE
more than I had developed myself during my graduation and
post-graduation.”
Hello Madam, I am Agraval Ritesh, your
student from the batch of 2004-2005, remembered me? Recently
I am giving my service at Bavis Gam Vidyalaya as a Assistant
Teacher in higher secondary school. Being a student of 2005,
when I see the B.Ed. students coming for
giving their lessons, I am remembering my initial days when
we were given training to come out from our self. I was very
lucky that I got admission in ACE, our college.
Today when I got appreciation from my students, I feel that
it is thing for which each teacher is working. I had no hesitation
to give whole credit to you.
Presently
where I am working is fully equipped with latest technological
teaching aids and when I use them successfully, I remember
the training I got in your institution. The atmosphere, the
warmth, friendly faculty members towards students is really
unforgettable and finally ACE (Anand College Of Education)
is definitely the best time I spent so far in my life. After
studying in ACE, I think what a college can
give a student in one year. In context to training in ACE,
I think I had always strive to gain best.
Congratulations
to you again madam. It’s all about your great effort our dream
come true. Also I remember all staff members with warm regards.
My best wishes are always with junior as they are fortunate
for studying in ACE.
