A pre-experimental one group pre-test post test design was used. The sample size of 60 were selected by using Probability; simple random sampling technique. Data was collected from B.Ed students studying in KLE’s College of Education, Vidyanagar, Hubballi by means of Structured knowledge questionnaire. The reliability of tool was r=0.941 and analysis is done using descriptive and inferential statistics. The overall pretest knowledge scores of 60 B.Ed students, Majority of the subjects 38(63%) had average knowledge, 12(22%) had good knowledge and 9(15%) had poor knowledge, where as in post test all the subjects 60(100%) had good knowledge scores. The calculated paired ‘t’ value (t_cal=7.66)* was greater than tabulated ‘t’ value (t_tab=2.662). Hence H₁was accepted. This indicates that gain in knowledge scores was statically significant at 0.05 levels. The study concludes that the STP on knowledge regarding BSE was effective to improve and update the knowledge of B.Ed students.
