Research is a significant input to SCERT's training programmes. This unit conducts, sponsors and coordinates inter-disciplinary research with focus on theory, policy relevance, methods and processes of the educational, curricular and training programmes carried out by SCERT. It is also responsible for the evaluation of the massive teacher training programmes, continuous monitoring and assessment of terminal evaluation and field analysis of textbooks. The Unit provides empirical and analytical basis for policy and plan formulation and implementation.
