Abstract

Teachers are the most important factor in the educational outcomes and learning levels achieved by any child, class or school. The paper presents a framework for teacher’s knowledge and is based on the analysis of a small study assessing the knowledge of the teacher’s from a few schools of Udaipur, Rajasthan. The findings of the study raise some pertinent recommendations and areas of concerns to be included while planning pre-service and in-service teacher capacity building programmes.
