Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The Education program at Shri Shankaracharya Professional University Durg is built on a strong foundation of project-based learning. This approach emphasizes hands-on, experiential learning that allows students to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world problems. The program incorporates mini-projects and a final-year capstone project to ensure that students develop practical skills and critical thinking abilities.
Mini-projects are introduced in the second year and are designed to give students an opportunity to explore specific areas of interest within the field of Education. These projects are typically completed in teams and involve research, analysis, and presentation. Students are encouraged to choose projects that align with their career goals and interests, and they receive mentorship from faculty members throughout the process.
The final-year capstone project is a significant component of the program. Students work closely with faculty mentors to develop a comprehensive project that addresses a significant challenge in the field of Education. This project is often supported by industry partners, ensuring that it has real-world relevance and impact. The capstone project involves extensive research, data collection, and analysis, and students are expected to present their findings to a panel of experts.
The evaluation criteria for projects include the clarity of the problem statement, the quality of research, the effectiveness of the solution, and the presentation skills of the students. This approach not only enhances academic learning but also prepares students for professional roles in education and related fields.
