Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department strongly advocates for project-based learning as a core component of the curriculum. Projects are designed to mirror real-world challenges faced by educational institutions and communities.
Mini-projects begin in the second year, where students collaborate in teams to address specific educational issues such as improving literacy rates or developing inclusive classroom strategies. These projects culminate in presentations and peer reviews that simulate professional environments.
The final-year capstone project is a significant endeavor that allows students to conduct independent research under faculty supervision. Projects often involve partnerships with schools, NGOs, or government agencies, ensuring relevance and impact.
Faculty mentors are selected based on their expertise in relevant areas and availability. Students have the opportunity to propose their own project ideas or choose from pre-approved topics aligned with current educational needs.
Evaluation criteria for projects include originality of approach, depth of analysis, feasibility of implementation, and potential for scalability. Peer evaluations and mentor feedback play crucial roles in assessing project quality.
This structured approach to project-based learning ensures that students develop not only technical skills but also critical thinking, collaboration, and communication abilities essential for success in the field of education.
