Rituparna Barooah
Abstract :
Objectives: the aim of the study was to provide a scope for research oriented learning and to inculcate a research culture from early undergraduate days in order to produce a well competent researcher and scholar at the end of the curriculum.
Method: In the three years of pilot study,150 undergraduate students in the first year were exposed to research methodology and participated in ‘mini projects’ in topics relevant to the curriculum.
Result: Interest and involvement in research activities demonstrated an increase in the following years regarding scholarly and research activities. There was considerable learning enhancement of additional soft skills acquired during the exposure to ‘mini research projects’.
Conclusion: Early exposure to research methodology and participation in less time consuming, relevant projects generate a sustained interest in research and research skills, thereby strengthening the specific competency.
