Project-Based Learning Framework
The program emphasizes project-based learning as a cornerstone of academic development. Students are required to complete two types of projects throughout their studies: mini-projects in the third and fourth years, and a final-year thesis or capstone project.
Mini-projects are designed to give students hands-on experience working on real-world educational challenges. These projects typically last 3–4 months and involve collaboration with faculty members, industry partners, or NGOs. Students select their projects based on personal interest and career aspirations, often choosing topics that align with their chosen specializations.
The final-year thesis or capstone project is a comprehensive endeavor that showcases the student’s mastery of educational concepts and research skills. It requires students to propose a problem in education, conduct a thorough literature review, design an intervention or solution, collect and analyze data, and present findings in a formal report and oral presentation.
Faculty members play a crucial role in guiding students through these projects. Each student is assigned a mentor who provides support throughout the research process, from idea generation to final delivery. Regular meetings, feedback sessions, and progress reviews ensure that students stay on track and receive timely assistance when needed.
