Introduction

Quality education is possible when meaningful learning experiences are created by teachers. The teacher education programs hold the responsibility of preparing teachers, hence it becomes the accountability of teacher education programs to inculcate a variety of skills in our teachers through pre-service and in-service education. Consequently, a constructivist approach to teacher education is needed so that students can develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills and construct the knowledge in the context. The focus of the teacher education programmes should be to make  teachers  ready  to rethink , modify the present  practices of the  teaching profession  and realign  it  with new paradigms than mere  giving of  instructions. The 21st century education requires dynamic interaction between task, teacher and learner which can be addressed effectively with constructivist pedagogy. Recognising the importance, New Education Policy draft, 2019 and the NCF, 2005, NCFTE, 2009 emphasised the constructivist and learner-centred approach in education. In this context The Dept of Education, North-Eastern Hill University under the MHRD Scheme of Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya National Mission on Teachers and Teaching has planned to organize a Workshop on Constructivist Pedagogy for Pre-service Student Teachers. The Workshop aims to sensitize the student-teachers and teacher educators on constructivist pedagogy.
