A STUDY OF B.ED STUDENTS' PERCEPTION TOWARDS CHOICE BASED CREDIT SYSTEM

The purpose of the following paper is to B.Ed Students Perception towards Choice Based Credit System in
Mumbai University. The sample consists of the 100 B.Ed students from Hansraj Jivandas college of Education. A
self-made questionnaire was administered to study their perception towards Choice Based Credit System in
Mumbai University. The perception was measured for the following aspects- coverage of course, efforts required,
students benefit, & coping strategy. The results indicated that around 61% of the total samples were in favour of
the credit based semester system. 55% of the total sample felt the extent of coverage of the course was very good.
54% of the students felt the extent of effort required is more in the Credit Based Semester System.145 of the
students found it easy to cope up were as 58% feel it is manageable and 8% find it difficult. The students found the
system to be very beneficial but may be it still needs to be managed well with respect to the time factor as the
admissions are very late and by the time students are admitted there is hardly any time left for completing the
activities in the first semester. Every new system has some teething problems but with time these too will be
overcome.
