What the BES-121 Solved Question Paper June 2026 covers
BES-121 Childhood and Growing Up is a 4-credit first-year core course of IGNOU's Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) programme, and this file answers all 11 question items of its June 2026 paper.
The June 2026 paper, serial A–1049, runs to 8 printed pages in English and Hindi and keeps the usual BES-121 shape: three long answers of about 600 words and four short answers of about 150 words, all compulsory. This year the paper leans on Block 1 and Block 3, with childhood, adolescence, socialisation, life skills and media taking most of the space.
Block 2 enters mainly through the short parts on the attachment viewpoint, Piaget's moral reasoning and classroom problems. Because Q1 and Q2 each carry an Or choice and Q3 lets you drop two parts, we solved every option, so whatever you prepared, the matching answer is in the file.
One thing this paper does that most IGNOU papers do not: it spreads the writing load evenly. Each of the four questions is worth the same weightage and each costs about the same number of words — the three long answers are 600 words apiece, and Q3's four required parts come to 600 words as well. There is no cheap question to grab first and no expensive one to leave till last.
Four questions · equal weightage · about 600 words each · roughly 2,400 words in 180 minutes = about 45 minutes and 13 words a minute per question
If you are collecting papers for every first-year course, our BED Question Paper collection covers the other B.Ed theory courses as well, so BES-121 can sit alongside BES-122 and BES-123 in one revision plan.
BES-121 Childhood and Growing Up: two June 2026 answers solved in full
We show two June 2026 answers in full here, Q1 and Q3(e), and list the other 9 BES-121 question items as printed on the paper.
The two samples cover one long answer and one short answer, so you can judge both lengths before you decide. Question numbers and wording below follow the official paper; where the printed paper has a clear slip, the correct form is given in square brackets.
Question 1 Compulsory, one of two options Block 1, Unit 1 Long answer about 600 words Childhood perspectives set in 3 of 7 papers
1. Discuss the concept of childhood and different perspectives of childhood and its implications for teachers.
Introduction. Childhood is the stage of life between infancy and adolescence when a person depends on adults for care, protection and guidance, and learns the skills and values of the society around them. The word sounds universal, yet what counts as childhood, when it ends and what a child is expected to do differ across time, place and social class. That is why childhood is best studied from several perspectives rather than as a fixed age band.
Concept of childhood. Biologically, childhood is marked by rapid physical growth, brain development and the gradual mastery of motor, language and thinking skills. Socially, it is a status: adults decide what children may do, where they should be and what they must learn. Legally, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), adopted in 1989, defines a child as every human being below 18 years unless national law sets an earlier age of majority (Article 1). India ratified the UNCRC in 1992.
Different perspectives of childhood
1. Biological and developmental perspective. Here childhood is a sequence of predictable, age-linked stages. Jean Piaget described stages of cognitive development, while Erik Erikson described psychosocial stages, from trust versus mistrust in infancy to industry versus inferiority in the primary school years. The focus is on changes in body and mind that most children pass through.
2. Historical perspective. The French historian Philippe Ariès argued in Centuries of Childhood (first published in French in 1960) that medieval European society did not treat childhood as a separate stage; children joined adult work and social life early. Scholars still debate his evidence, but his work showed that the idea of a protected childhood has a history and is not simply natural.
3. Socio-cultural and anthropological perspective. Childhood is socially constructed. Margaret Mead's Growing Up in New Guinea (1930) showed how children's play and beliefs were shaped by their community. In India, a girl in a farming family may look after younger siblings at eight, while an urban child of the same age may have no household duties at all. Both are children, yet their childhoods are very different.
4. Rights-based perspective. The child is seen as a holder of rights, not only an object of care. Child rights are commonly grouped as rights to survival, development, protection and participation. In India, the RTE Act, 2009 makes elementary education a right for children aged 6 to 14, and its Section 17 bars physical punishment and mental harassment in schools.
Implications for teachers
- No single ‘normal’ child: a class may hold first-generation learners, migrant children and children who work after school. The teacher should learn each child's context before judging behaviour or ability.
- Teach to developmental readiness: concrete materials and activities suit younger learners, while older pupils can handle abstract reasoning and debate.
- Give children a voice: class discussions, suggestion boxes and child-led rules respect the participation rights in the UNCRC.
- Protect and refer: teachers must notice signs of neglect, abuse or child labour and report them to the school head and child protection authorities.
- Link home and school: regular conversations with parents show the teacher how childhood is lived at home, especially where it differs from what the school expects of a child.
- Use positive discipline: since the RTE Act bans corporal punishment, the teacher should rely on dialogue, routines and encouragement.
Conclusion. Childhood is at once a biological fact and a social idea. A teacher who understands its different perspectives stops expecting every child to fit one script, and builds a classroom where each child's background becomes a starting point for learning rather than a barrier to it.
Question 3(e) Any 4 of 6 parts Block 2, Unit 6 Short answer about 150 words Moral development set in 2 of 7 papers
3. (e) Discuss the theory of moral reasoning given by Piaget.
Jean Piaget set out his theory of moral reasoning in The Moral Judgment of the Child (1932). He watched children play marbles and told them paired stories, such as a boy who broke fifteen cups by accident and another who broke one cup while sneaking jam, then asked who was naughtier.
- Pre-moral stage (up to about 5 years): little real understanding of rules.
- Heteronomous morality or moral realism (roughly 5 to 10 years): rules come from adults and cannot change, acts are judged by their consequences, so fifteen cups is worse, and children believe in immanent justice and strict punishment.
- Autonomous morality or morality of cooperation (roughly 10 years onwards): rules are agreements that can change by consensus, intentions matter more than damage, and punishment should fit the wrong.
Piaget linked the shift to declining egocentrism and equal-status play with peers. Teachers can apply this by explaining the reasons behind rules and letting older pupils help frame class rules.
Questions answered only in the full file
These 9 items appear on the June 2026 paper as printed below; their answers are not shown on this page.
1. (Or) Discuss the concept of adolescence and the cultural construction of adolescence with suitable examples.
2. Define life skills and life skill education. Explain the importance of life skills with suitable examples.
2. (Or) Elaborate the role of media in representing children and women with the help of examples.
3. (a) Differentiate among a child, an adolescent and an adult.
3. (b) Explain the concept of socialization and its features.
3. (c) Discuss the role of peer group in the socialization of adolescent children.
3. (d) Elaborate the educational implication of ‘attachment’ viewpoint of child development.
3. (f) What are the common problems in classroom [the classroom]?
4. Discuss the role of school as an agency of socialisation. Answer with reference to your own experience in school.
Between them they cover the cultural construction of adolescence, life skill education, how media portrays children and women, the child, adolescent and adult comparison, peer groups, attachment, classroom problems and the school as an agency of socialisation.
How to use the choices. Q2 is the one question with no escape route: both of its options, life skills and media, come from Block 3, so Block 3 has to be prepared whatever you drop. Q1's two options both come from Unit 1, so one unit covers that question twice over. In Q3 you need any four of six parts, and Block 1 supplies three of them, which leaves you needing just one part from Block 2 or Block 3.
BES-121 block and unit wise syllabus from the B.Ed course
BES-121 is organised into 3 blocks and 11 units, and every June 2026 question maps to one of Units 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10.
Block and unit titles below follow the IGNOU B.Ed programme guide and the course page on eGyanKosh. The third column gives examples of what IGNOU has actually asked from each unit, which tells you more than a list of subheadings would; it is a sample of sessions, not a complete list.
| Block | Unit | Examples of topics examined from this unit |
|---|---|---|
| Block 1: Understanding Childhood and Adolescence | Unit 1: Concept of Childhood and Adolescence | Perspectives on childhood (Dec 2022, June 2024, June 2025); adolescence across cultures (June 2023, June 2024, Dec 2024, June 2025); child versus adolescent (Dec 2023, Dec 2024) |

What the blocks actually carried in June 2026. Block 1 produced 6 of the 11 printed items, including Q1, both its options and Q4, so Block 1 alone is worth half the paper plus three of the four Q3 parts you need. Block 3 produced Q2 and its Or option. Block 2, the largest block with four units, produced no long answer at all — everything it gave sat inside Q3, as parts (d), (e) and half of (f). Unit 4 and Unit 11 are the only units with no question of any kind this session, though both were tested in 2024 and 2025. For unit-wise notes that follow this same order, see our BES-121 Study Material.
BES-121 question paper pattern and weightage in June 2026
The IGNOU BES-121 Question Paper for June 2026 has four compulsory questions of equal weightage, set for 3 hours and 70 per cent of the course result.
| Question | Type | Words | Choice | June 2026 topic |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 | Long answer | About 600 | Choose one of two | Childhood and its perspectives, or the cultural construction of adolescence |
| Q2 | Long answer | About 600 | Choose one of two | Life skills and life skill education, or media portrayal of children and women |
| Q3 | Short answers | About 150 each | Any four of six parts | Child, adolescent and adult; socialisation; peer group; attachment; Piaget's moral reasoning; classroom problems |
| Q4 | Long answer | About 600 | No choice | School as an agency of socialisation, written from your own school experience |
| You write | About 2,400 | 7 answers in all | 3 long answers and 4 short answers | |
Your assignment carries the other 30 per cent. The programme guide asks for at least a D grade in the assignment and the term-end exam separately, and an overall C grade to clear BES-121. Most recent papers print the weightage as 70%, while the June 2024 paper printed 75%, so go by the programme guide.
The shape has stayed steady since December 2022, which makes older papers useful practice. You can download earlier sessions from our IGNOU Previous Year Question Paper page and time yourself at roughly 45 minutes per question. The one piece of timing advice this paper rewards: do Q3's four short parts as a block, because four 150-word answers are far easier to finish inside 45 minutes than a single 600-word essay, and finishing one question early is the only cushion a flat paper like this gives you.
Topics that keep returning in BES-121 Childhood and Growing Up papers
Life skills, socialisation and methods of studying children appeared in all seven official BES-121 papers from December 2022 to December 2025.
We read seven official IGNOU papers: December 2022, June 2023, December 2023, June 2024, December 2024, June 2025 and December 2025. A topic is counted once per session, even if it appears in two questions of the same paper. We could not locate the December 2021 and June 2022 papers, so this is not a five-year count.
| Topic | Course unit | Sessions where it appeared | Count (of 7) | In the June 2026 paper? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Life skills: WHO core skills, self-management, coping, problem-solving | Unit 10 | Dec 2022, June 2023, Dec 2023, June 2024, Dec 2024, June 2025, Dec 2025 | 7 | Yes, Q2 |
| Socialisation: concept, types and agencies such as family, school and peers | Units 2 and 3 | Dec 2022, June 2023, Dec 2023, June 2024, Dec 2024, June 2025, Dec 2025 | 7 | Yes, Q3(b), Q3(c) and Q4 |
| Studying children: observation, anecdotal and cumulative records, action research | Unit 7 | Dec 2022, June 2023, Dec 2023, June 2024, Dec 2024, June 2025, Dec 2025 | 7 | No question of its own; Q3(f) on classroom problems is the closest |
| Media and children, including gender stereotypes and regulating media use | Unit 8 | Dec 2022, June 2023, Dec 2023, Dec 2024, June 2025, Dec 2025 | 6 | Yes, Q2 (Or) |
| Child rights: UNCRC, national and international organisations, government initiatives | Unit 11 | June 2023, Dec 2023, June 2024, Dec 2024, June 2025 | 5 | No |
| Adolescence as a concept and across cultures | Unit 1 | June 2023, June 2024, Dec 2024, June 2025 | 4 | Yes, Q1 (Or) |
| Contemporary adolescent issues such as bullying and substance abuse, and the school's role | Unit 9 | Dec 2022, Dec 2023, Dec 2024, June 2025 | 4 | Partly, through Q3(f) |
| Concept of childhood and its perspectives | Unit 1 | Dec 2022, June 2024, June 2025 | 3 | Yes, Q1 |
| Parenting styles and the parent-child relationship | Units 2 and 3 | Dec 2022, Dec 2023, Dec 2025 | 3 | No |
| Child compared with adolescent | Unit 1 | Dec 2023, Dec 2024 | 2 | Yes, Q3(a), which now adds the adult |
| Attachment viewpoint and types of attachment | Unit 5 | June 2023, June 2024 | 2 | Yes, Q3(d) |
| Moral development: Piaget and Kohlberg | Unit 6 | Dec 2022, Dec 2023 | 2 | Yes, Q3(e) |
| Life-span perspective of development | Unit 5 | Dec 2022, Dec 2025 | 2 | No |
What June 2026 skipped, and what that means for December 2026. This is the clearest signal on the page. One topic has appeared in every single paper for seven sessions and still got no question of its own this time:
- Methods of studying children and adolescents (Unit 7) — 7 of 7 papers, and in June 2026 only a sideways touch through Q3(f). Observation, anecdotal records, cumulative records, reflective journals and action research plans are the single most likely December 2026 topic on this course.
- Child rights and legislation (Unit 11) — 5 of 7 papers and nothing at all this session. Unit 11 is also one of the two units that produced no item of any kind in June 2026. UNCRC, child rights as human rights and protection against economic exploitation are the areas IGNOU has used before.
- Parenting styles and the parent-child relationship — 3 of 7, skipped.
- Life-span perspective of development (Unit 5) — 2 of 7, skipped.
- Understanding growth and development (Unit 4) — the other unit with nothing in June 2026, last tested in June 2024 on principles of development.
Put the other way round: Block 2 gave no long answer this session and Unit 4 gave nothing at all, while Unit 7 kept its unbroken run only on a technicality. If you are sitting December 2026, Unit 7 and Unit 11 are where to start. For predicted questions by course, see our IGNOU Solved Guess Paper page.
How our BES-121 answers are written and checked
Each answer in the IGNOU BES-121 Solved Question Paper starts from the official June 2026 paper and is written to the word limit the question prints.
We first tagged every question to its unit, then checked how the same topic had been asked in the seven earlier papers. That is why the Q1 answer spends real space on the implications for teachers, a part many students skip although the question asks for it directly.
Facts such as the UNCRC's 1989 adoption, Article 1's age of 18, and the RTE Act's ban on physical punishment are checked against the original documents. Q4 and other experience-based questions are written in the first person, with a school situation you can swap for your own.
Question text is set out as it appears in the official paper, including its numbering. Where the printed paper has a clear slip, we keep the printed words and add the correct form in square brackets, so you can see what the examiner printed and still write the right thing in the exam.
Answers are written by Prateek Talwar, Academic Head, with our B.Ed subject team, and reviewed by Sheetal Kirola before the file is shared with any student.

BES-121 Childhood and Growing Up FAQs
What is included in the BES-121 Solved Question Paper June 2026?
It includes complete answers to all 11 question items of the official IGNOU June 2026 BES-121 paper, including both options in Q1 and Q2 and all six parts of Q3. Long answers run to about 600 words and short answers to about 150, matching the limits printed on the paper. Each answer is tagged with its course unit, so you can revise the matching block quickly.
How do I get the full BES-121 Childhood and Growing Up file on WhatsApp?
Send a message saying BES 121 June 2026 to WhatsApp 9899436384 and our team will share the details and the payment process. Once that is done, you receive the full solved file as a PDF with all 11 answers, which means the 2 you can read on this page plus the 9 answers that are not shown here.
Which BES-121 questions are answered in full on this page?
Two answers are shown in full: Question 1 on the concept of childhood, its perspectives and its implications for teachers, and Question 3(e) on Piaget's theory of moral reasoning. The other nine items, including the Q1 and Q2 alternatives, the remaining Q3 parts and Q4 on the school as an agency of socialisation, are listed with their exact wording but answered only in the full file.
How many questions do I need to attempt in the BES-121 Question Paper?
You attempt all four questions, because every question is compulsory. Q1 and Q2 each give you a choice between two topics at about 600 words, Q3 asks for any four of six parts at about 150 words each, and Q4 has no choice. In practice you write three long answers and four short ones within three hours, about 2,400 words in all.
Which question in BES-121 should I plan first?
Every question in this paper is worth the same weightage and costs roughly the same 600 words, so there is no cheap question to grab. The practical move is to write Q3's four short answers as one block, because four 150-word answers are much easier to finish inside 45 minutes than a single 600-word essay, and that is the only place a flat paper lets you build a time cushion. Keep Q4 for last, since it draws on your own school experience and needs no recall of textbook detail.
Which BES-121 Childhood and Growing Up topics repeat most often?
In the seven official papers we checked, from December 2022 to December 2025, life skills, socialisation and its agencies, and classroom research tools such as observation and anecdotal records appeared in every session. Media and children appeared in six sessions and child rights in five. Life skills and media both return in the June 2026 paper as the two options in Q2.
Which BES-121 topics were skipped in June 2026?
Two stand out. Methods of studying children and adolescents (Unit 7) had appeared in all seven earlier papers and got no question of its own this session, only an indirect touch through Q3(f) on classroom problems. Child rights and legislation (Unit 11) had appeared in five of seven papers and was absent altogether. Unit 4 on growth and development also produced nothing. Parenting styles and the life-span perspective were skipped as well. For December 2026, Unit 7 and Unit 11 are the first two units to prepare.
How many credits and units does BES-121 Childhood and Growing Up carry?
BES-121 carries 4 credits and is one of five first-year core courses in IGNOU's B.Ed programme. Its study material has 3 blocks and 11 units: Understanding Childhood and Adolescence (Units 1 to 3), Growing Up: Infancy to Adulthood (Units 4 to 7) and Critical Debates in Childhood and Adolescence (Units 8 to 11), all on eGyanKosh.
What weightage does the BES-121 term-end exam carry?
The BES-121 term-end exam carries 70 per cent of the course result and the assignment carries the remaining 30 per cent, according to the B.Ed programme guide. You must reach at least a D grade in both parts separately and an overall C grade to clear the course. All four questions in the June 2026 paper carry equal weightage, and the paper prints no raw marks at all.
Who wrote and reviewed the BES-121 Solved Question Paper answers?
The answers were written by Prateek Talwar, Academic Head of Unnati Educations, with our B.Ed subject team, and reviewed by Sheetal Kirola, who checks every IGNOU and B.Ed file before release. Each answer was compared with the course units on eGyanKosh and with seven earlier BES-121 papers to keep the content accurate and ready for the exam.
