Manuscript Info Abstract ……………………. ……………………………………………………………… Manuscript History Received: 10 June 2017 Final Accepted: 12 July 2017 Published: August 2017 Teachers are the foundation stone of education system. Teacher facilitates and enables learning processes in students. And in order to make teachers competent government of India provides pre-service trainings to the student-teachers. Pre-service trainings consist of studies of theory and practice of teaching where practice teaching is a very crucial ingredient of the teaching. In general, the course has elements of psychology, educational philosophy and sociology of education and instructions about teaching of certain subjects. Also included are principles such as aims of education, curriculum, nature and characteristics of child development, method of teaching and learning and introduction to resources that a teacher must draw on. This study tries to investigate understanding of student-teachers on various aspects of Educational perspective like understanding of children, aims of education, learning environment, effective pedagogical techniques, teaching-learning processes, educational resources that enable teachers for effective classroom transaction etc. This study covers 44 D El. Ed. Students from 2 DIETs mainly Dehradun and Roorkee. From the analysis of the data, it can be inferred that the perception of the student- teachers is aligned with the literature of National Curriculum Framework, 2005. Their perception is so aligned that there is no significant gap in the understanding of experienced and non- experienced student-teachers, which highlights high transactional value of D. El Ed curriculum. Also, contrary to the myth that teacher opts for teaching as a profession because they are helpless and are left with no choice. The findings suggest that time is changing and today student- teachers aspire to become teachers because of their interest. The efforts need to be made to ensure that the student-teachers are allowed full autonomy to execute their understanding at school level. Copy Right, IJAR, 2017,.
