<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:&#10;justify;line-height:150%;background:white;mso-background-themecolor:background1;&#10;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;&#10;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">UNESCO recognizes that teacher education is integrally related to quality education and closely linked to curriculum renewal, improved learning outcomes, and a positive school environment. UNESCO&lsquo;s Teacher Training initiative is aimed at redirecting policies, improving institutional capacity, improving teacher quality, and stemming the teacher shortage in order to achieve Education for All by 2015.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:&#10;&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;"> Blended learning a mix approach of available teaching methodology is a great advancement in pedagogy. An attempt was made to measure Blended pedagogical model in enhancing mathematical skill of D.El.Ed, pre-service teachers.<span style="color:black;mso-themecolor:text1;mso-bidi-font-weight:&#10;bold"> The study is carried out for 65 pre-service teachers of District Institute of Education and Training, Palayampatti, Virudhunagar District, Tamilnadu. The creative blended pedagogical model hosted for 45 days. Skill test, Pre test, Post test1, and Post test 2 conducted.The major findings of the study revealthat</span></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;&#10;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;mso-fareast-font-family:Calii;&#10;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;color:black;mso-themecolor:text1;mso-bidi-language:&#10;TA;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold"> the Blended pedagogical model is effective in enhancing mathematical skills of pre-service teachers throughMean, Median, and Mode analysis.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
