Abstract

Primary educators focus on teaching a specific grade level of students, including a variety of core disciplines such language arts, math, science, social studies, music, and physical education. In a program of study, the curriculum outlines the expected knowledge and skills that students will learn. National and state standards are included, along with resources created by teachers and textbooks. The material that has been compiled and deemed pertinent to a certain subject is called the curriculum. Elementary Education in Assam is overseen by the Directorate of Elementary Education, which is also in charge of its growth, expansion, inspection, supervision, tracking, and assessment.

The D.El.Ed Course is an in-service and prospective elementary teacher education program offered in India. The primary objective of this study was the examination of the D.El.Ed. course curriculum and curriculum transactions at the elementary education level in relation to the National Curriculum Framework (NCF)-2005.
