ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I acknowledge that without the valuable help, guidance and co- operation we have received from various quarters, we would not have been able to function smoothly.
The Board of Studies in Bharathanatyam proceeded with the idea of developing students in the field of dance both vocationally and professionally of St Teresa’s college as per the terms of reference and guidelines given by the UGC, Mahatma Gandhi University and Kerala State Higher Education Council.
I am greatly indebted to the members of the Board of Studies who, from the very beginning, did a marvellous work in co- ordinating all activities leading to successful culmination of the restructuring process. Apart from members of the board of studies, the contributions of Smt.Devi Chandana and Smt.Ria V R, Assosiate Professors Department of Bharathanatyam, St.Teresa’s College were invaluable in designing this syllabus. I express my gratitude to all those who gave valuable suggestions and whole-hearted co-operation in making this restructuring a memorable intellectual exercise.
K.R RADHAMANI Chairman Board of Studies (UG) in Bharathanatyam.

CURRICULUM
1. Preamble: Curriculum is the statement of what we want our students to learn through our academic programmes and of the ways and means we adopt to facilitate the learning process. 1.1. Curriculum Design of General Three-Year General Undergraduate Degree Programmes
Design of curriculum for any programme tries to answer the following questions (Tylor 1949) What educational purpose should the programme seek to attain? What educational experiences can be provided that are likely to attain these purposes? How can these educational experiences be effectively organized? How can we determine whether these purposes are being attained?
The educational purposes a general higher education programme seeks to attain are Programme Outcomes also called Graduate Attributes.
2. Programme Outcomes
The traits of graduates of general undergraduate degree programmes including transferable skills are expressed as Programme Outcomes. While Programme Outcomes of graduates of professional programmes have been stated by the respective Professional Societies and Accreditation Agencies no such set of attributes have been stated by any agency in India. However, many of the desirable Programme Outcomes are alluded to in different policy documents of Kerala Higher Education Council. Programme Outcomes are the broad statements of what the students should be able to do at the time of graduation. St. Teresa’s College has chosen its Programme Outcomes in the spirit of Future Work Skills 2020, Trends in Global Higher Education (UNESCO 2009) and American Association of Higher Education (AAHE), and Kerala HEC as follows:
Curriculum and Syllabi 2015 admission onwards: Page 5

1. The department of Bharathanatyam enables the students a better understanding of the culture and heritage of our country. 2. Develops the dancing as well as musical skills in students. 3. The students are exposed to a wider area of arts and culture of the world.
3. Stages of Curriculum Design
The four questions that need to be answered to design the curriculum of a general higher education program are addressed through the following stages keeping NAAC framework in consideration
Vision and Mission of the Department offering the program in alignment with Vision and Mission of the Institute Identification of the context of program Distribution of Credits Identification of the courses to meet the stated Graduate Attributes (Program Outcomes) Defining the assessment process
3.1 Vision and Mission of the Department Offering the Programme:
VISION To train students in Bharathanatyam to attain proficiency in both performance and teaching career.
To enable the students to surpass the conventional approach and introduce innovations in the field of dance.

Curriculum and Syllabi 2015 admission onwards: Page 6
Bachelors programme in Bharathanatyam, St.Teresa’s College (Autonomous)Ernakulam
MISSION To offer courses in Bharathanatyam which will enable the students to have a better understanding of the traditional as well as the modern approaches to dance and various art forms.
It not only helps to improve the student’s physical state but also influence the mental, emotional as well as the spiritual well being.
To create potential researchers who can enrich the nation with their innovations on and off stage.
To encourage women to make a positive impact on society through synergies within and outside the student community across the college/region/national boundaries.
3.2Context of General Undergraduate Programmes
The Department of Bharathanatyam offers a Bachelor of Arts degree (B.A), and a Master of Arts (MA) degree in Bharathanatyam. The BA degree is for students who expect to use dance as a professional career in their life. The MA degree is for students who wish to pursue higher studies with dance as the centre point of their career.
3.3 COURSE STRUCTURE
The Bachelor programme in Bharathanatyam covers 35 courses and a project in sixth semester all together earning 120 credits. Course is the most significant constituent of an Academic Programme. It is a well designed instruction package for imparting education in a subject matter with a view to achieving the competencies targeted under the Programme Outcomes. Every Course is so designed with insights of ‘continuity’, ‘sequence’, and ‘integration’, appropriate for a spontaneous facilitation of effective learning and realisation of the avowed goals i.e., the learning outcomes supplementing
Curriculum and Syllabi 2015 admission onwards: Page 7
Bachelors programme in Bharathanatyam, St.Teresa’s College (Autonomous)Ernakulam
and complimenting the Programme Outcomes.1 A Course consists of a series of carefully programmed lessons in a given subject and their instructional strategies, which impart the knowledge and skill postulated as learning outcome. Most Courses have lecture method as the main component supplemented by the interactive session, practical, library consultation, and field-work. Every Course is to be consisting of a statement of the overall objectives at the outset. It should contain an overview of the content and context situating the knowledge content of the Course. This should lead to the syllabus content showing specific lessons.. Following this the assessment pattern consisting of the particulars viz., the internal, final, attendance policy, assignment regulations, tests, sample questions and answers has to be provided.
The UG programme in Bharathanatyam includes: (a) common courses, (b) core courses, (c) complementary courses (d) open course and (e) a project. No course shall carry more than 4 credits. The students can select any choice based course offered by the department which offers the core courses, depending on the availability of teachers and infrastructural facilities in the institution. Open course shall be offered in any subject and the students shall have the option to do courses offered by other departments.
COURSES
The restructured programme should contain 15 core courses of practical and 8 theory papers, including one choice based course from the frontier area of the course and a project, eight complementary courses from the relevant subjects for complementing the core of the study, and an open course. There are two common courses which is the part of the programme. All students have to start the project in the sixth semester.
1 The conceptual meanings and implications of the terms ‘continuity’, ‘sequence’, and ‘integration’, have been discussed in detail by Ralph W. Tyler. Though done in the context of school syllabus, Tyler’s enunciation of fundamentals is equally or more relevant to higher education too. See, Tyler, R.W, Basic Principles of Curriculum, University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 1949, pp. 84-86

PROJECT WORK AND EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING:
Project Work is the best way to practise what you have learnt. It enables the student to work more on their interested subjects and explore new ideas. It ensures the student to peruse their vocational skills along with their academic excellence.
PROJECT GUIDELINES:
1. Project should be done individually.
2. The student should be, to the extent possible, diverse in composition with different capabilities (weak, strong, creative, analytical etc.) and different orientation (liberal, conservative etc.) to enable cross learning.
3. Divide the project up into a series of smaller steps or parts. Put the parts of the project into a time sequence (literature survey, acquiring a sampling frame, data, analysis etc.)
4. The project topic should be on dance/ related issues / theoretical / case study type in the field of dance or any other art form.
5. Project topic should be identified in the V semester and the project work should be completed by the end of the VI semester.
6. Project work should be done under the supervision and guidance of teachers.
7. A copy of the project report in English (printed or typed) should be submitted by the student/ team on or before 31 March of the year concerned.
8. The valuation of the project will be done at two stages:
a. Internal evaluation (supervising teachers will assess the project and award grades)
b. External evaluation (The team will comprise of an external examiner appointed by the University and the HOD of the institution concerned or his nominee)
c. A Viva voce related to the project work will also be conducted by the external evaluation team. All candidates should undergo the Viva voce test individually.
d. Grades will be awarded to candidates combining the internal grade, team grade and Viva voce grade.
Curriculum and Syllabi 2015 admission onwards: Page 21
