GUWAHATI: The Assam Higher Secondary Education Council (AHSEC) has released a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for implementation of Project Works for all project work rated subjects in HS level in the institutions under AHSEC.
AHSEC has introduced project works on a few subjects since the 2018-19 academic session, keeping in view that project- based learning helps students get involved in their learning. Through project based learning, students get to know to identify problems and their solutions and as such gain necessary knowledge to find plausible solutions, which give successful outcomes, the Council said.
The AHSEC stressed that project- based learning for the students of HS 1st and 2nd year is only possible with the proper guidance of the teachers. “A teacher needs to guide his/her students in designing projects based on their abilities, keeping in view that the project work builds their confidence. So, involvement of both the teachers and their students are most important for accomplishing a project individually or in a group, whichever is convenient for a particular teacher,” says the SOP backgrounder. A Ready Reckoner to explain the SOP for implementation of the Project Works has been included, according to which;
