Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The Department of Education at Aryavart University Sehore believes in the power of experiential learning through project-based methodologies. Projects are designed to be relevant, challenging, and aligned with real-world educational issues. Students engage in collaborative work, research, and reflection throughout their academic journey.
Mini-projects begin in the second year and continue through the third year. These projects focus on specific aspects of education such as curriculum mapping, designing lesson plans, or conducting small-scale research studies. Each project is evaluated based on criteria including creativity, relevance, teamwork, and impact.
The final-year capstone project represents the culmination of students' learning experiences. It is a substantial piece of work that addresses a significant educational challenge or opportunity. Students are paired with faculty mentors who guide them through the process of research, design, implementation, and evaluation.
Students select their projects based on their interests and career aspirations. They are encouraged to collaborate with external partners such as schools, NGOs, or government agencies to ensure that their work has practical value. The selection process involves a proposal submission, followed by mentorship meetings and approval from the academic committee.
