A Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) is an undergraduate degree that one pursues in preparation to become a teacher. It’s a professional course designed to enable future teachers with the ability, skills, and knowledge needed for effective teaching. The program usually runs for two years, in which there will be a theoretical part and a practical approach. The B.Ed curriculum also involves learning a broad set of subjects, which encompass educational psychology, teaching methodologies, classroom management, curriculum development, and assessment techniques. More specifically, students learn about the incorporation of technology in education, inclusive education practices that tend to reach diverse needs during the learning process, as well as pedagogical training through specializations in science, mathematics, social studies, and language streams. It integrates practical experience into the program, and through a student-teaching internship or practicum, students can be hands-on in real classroom settings. This would allow a practicing teacher to use the theory learned, practice classroom management, and even develop their understanding of the day-to-day job responsibilities of the educators. In many countries, becoming a teacher for both the primary and secondary level requires having a B.Ed degree. This helps ensure that teachers are well-prepared to create a productive learning environment and help contribute to the academic and personal development of their students.
