Meta-Learning

Leaders must equip themselves with meta-skills, the skils that remain relevant in a fast-changing world. The learning at Rishihood is directed to develop three fundamental meta-skills we believe are at the core of leadership

JIGYASA -
DESIRE TO KNOW

CHIKIRSHA -
WILL TO ACT

ANANDA-
JOY OF BEING

  • The quest to discover knowledge
  • Humility and respect for others
  • A sense of wonder towards the creation
  • A mindset to create and take risks without the fear of failure
  • Be fully involved in the action but remain detached from the fruits of the action
  • Pursue excellence in every action and make it an act of worship
  • Personal Integrity regardless of outcomes
  • Purity of body, mind, and environment
  • Internal and external peace and harmony

Learning is a holistic process. It is not and should be not restricted to academic information. Our teaching learning process strives to connect the dots between the vital components of life and the outside world.

Interaction of Disciplines

Academic topics do not develop in isolation. Knowledge is integrated and interdisciplinary. We prepare our learners to think holistically and provide an environment closer to real life. Rishihood believes in four kinds of interactions in academic disciplines to provide a holistic learning environment

CROSSDISCIPLINARY

Viewing one curricular subject from the standpoint of another (for example: economics of music)

MULTIDISCIPLINARY

The combination of several content areas that are concerned with one problem, but without intentional integration (for example: intellectual property law and product design)

PLURDISCIPLINARY

The combination of content areas that are somewhat related; (for example: health and public policy)

TRANSDISCIPLINARY

Beyond the scope of the disciplines; that is, to start with a problem and bring to bear knowledge from the disciplines

Ways of Learning

Learning at a university is very different from school. Here, students need to be increasingly independent in their work. Here are some of the ways we introduce you to topics and eventually excel in the field

Lectures

Lectures enable a whole group to be taught together. You will be expected to build on the information you gain from your lectures through your independent study. To make the best use of the lecture time, students read the resources that the instructor has listed before coming to class.

Group Discussions

Group discussions allow smaller groups of students and their tutors to discuss ideas and consider a topic in depth. If you find something fascinating during a lecture, group discussion is the best way to take it forward.

Seminars

Seminars allow a large group of students to listen to and interact with a guest speaker, a panel, or faculty members from a joint class.

Tutorials

Tutorials give you the chance to ask questions, check your understanding, and discuss assignments, either individually with a tutor or in a small group.

Laboratory and Practical Workshops

Laboratory and practical workshops provide the opportunity to test concepts and methods introduced in lectures and tutorials.

In-Person Mentorship

In-person mentorship is a way you interact with your seniors and teachers. It gives you the space to raise fundamental and personal doubts, providing the required mentorship.

Fieldwork

Fieldwork makes you test the knowledge on the ground and take feedback to learn in the class. It is integrated into many of the programs and a critical component in others.

Group Work and Peer-Learning

Group work and peer-learning enable you to collaborate with other students on a project so that you learn to work as part of the team, and also learn from each other’s’ understanding of the topic.
