Abstract
This paper is an integrated approach to examine the impact of a knowledge based economy on curriculum. It discusses a generic profile of an effective knowledge worker and how countries are responding to the challenge. The few features of curriculum and pedagogic models are highlighted based on a case study of teacher education in India.It shows how the institution builds its new curriculum model on the strength of its existing system. To meet the desired educational outcomes, it complements curriculum changes with a pedagogic approach that transforms the role of teacher to facilitators of learning.
