Programmes
Neohumanist Teacher Education is offered through
Ananda Marga Gurukula. It is based on personal
development, interpersonal competence, ethics, social
responsibility, and universal love. The programmes
are designed to synthesize current findings from the
emerging neohumanist pedagogy, developmental psychology,
cognitive research and educational research.
We believe that we and our students should be prepared
to structure and facilitate learning experiences that
can lead to learning and teaching through inquiry,
research and reflection. We believe that the most
effective education occurs when it is shaped around
the student. There is emphasis on individual needs
and interests within the curriculum. The Programmes
present a process of learning that is flexible and
interactive. They vary from conventional courses to
independent study, workshops, group studies, seminars
and field experience.
