Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The Department of Education at Motherhood University Haridwar strongly believes in project-based learning as a transformative approach to education. This pedagogy emphasizes student engagement, critical thinking, and real-world problem-solving skills by immersing students in meaningful projects that connect academic concepts to practical applications.
Structure and Scope of Projects
Mini-projects are integrated throughout the curriculum, beginning in the second year and building in complexity as students progress. These projects are designed to be interdisciplinary, encouraging collaboration between different specializations within the field of education. Each project is assigned a mentor from the faculty who provides guidance, feedback, and support throughout the process.
Evaluation Criteria
Projects are evaluated based on multiple criteria including conceptual depth, research quality, practical applicability, presentation skills, and teamwork effectiveness. Students are required to submit progress reports at regular intervals, participate in peer reviews, and present their final projects to a panel of faculty members and industry experts.
Final-Year Thesis/Capstone Project
The capstone project is the culmination of the student's academic journey, allowing them to demonstrate mastery in their chosen area of specialization. Students select topics that align with their interests and career goals, working closely with a faculty advisor to develop a research or implementation plan. The final project includes both a written thesis and an oral defense presentation.
Project Selection and Mentorship
Students are encouraged to propose their own project ideas, but they must be approved by the faculty committee. The selection process considers feasibility, relevance, and potential impact of the proposed work. Mentors are matched based on expertise areas and availability, ensuring that students receive personalized guidance throughout their project development.
