Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department strongly believes in project-based learning as a core pedagogical approach that encourages active engagement, critical thinking, and collaboration among students. This methodology is integrated throughout the curriculum to ensure that students not only acquire theoretical knowledge but also apply it meaningfully.
Mini-Projects
Mini-projects are assigned in the second and third years of the program to give students practical exposure to educational challenges. These projects typically involve working with local schools or organizations to implement solutions for real problems such as improving literacy rates, designing inclusive curricula, or developing digital learning tools. Projects are evaluated based on criteria including innovation, feasibility, impact, and presentation quality.
Final-Year Thesis/Capstone Project
The capstone project in the fourth year is a significant component of the program that requires students to demonstrate mastery over their chosen area of specialization. Students select a topic aligned with their interests or industry needs and work under the supervision of faculty mentors. The project involves extensive research, data collection, analysis, and presentation of findings in both written and oral formats.
Students are encouraged to collaborate with external partners such as NGOs, government bodies, or private companies during this phase. This collaboration not only enriches their learning experience but also provides them with valuable professional networks and real-world insights into the field of education.
