B.Ed in Biochemistry
The B.Ed in Biochemistry course is designed to prepare student-teachers to
teach Biochemistry effectively at the higher secondary level. The course
emphasizes understanding the chemical processes of living systems,
laboratory skills, experimental techniques, lesson planning, and the
application of innovative and technology-enabled teaching methods.
Course Objectives
- To prepare individuals to teach Biochemistry
at the school level.
- To understand the structure and function of
biomolecules.
- To develop skills in biochemical laboratory
techniques and experiments.
- To apply scientific and inquiry-based
methods in teaching Biochemistry.
