Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department’s philosophy on project-based learning is rooted in the belief that active engagement leads to deeper understanding and retention. Projects are structured to encourage collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills essential for success in education and beyond.
Mini-projects, which begin in the second year, allow students to apply theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios. These projects often involve working with local schools or community organizations, providing practical experience that bridges the gap between theory and practice.
The final-year thesis/capstone project is a comprehensive endeavor that requires students to conduct original research or design an innovative educational solution. Students work closely with faculty mentors throughout the process, receiving guidance on methodology, data analysis, and presentation skills.
Project selection involves a collaborative process where students identify topics of interest, consult with faculty advisors, and develop project proposals. The department ensures that each project aligns with current educational trends and addresses relevant challenges in the field.
