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.

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 Bachelors programme in Bharathanatyam, St.Teresa’s College (Autonomous)Ernakulam 1.
