Detailed Description

This project explores an advanced concept of teaching moral education in schools with the help of meticulously designed interactive short films utilising choice architecture and the Soviet montage theory. The final output of this project is a short film, prototyped online with interactive capabilities for teaching values. The students’ all-round performance in schools is inversely related to the amount of bullying and violence faced in the schools (OECD, PISA 2015 Database), and the introduction of moral education in schools drastically reduces the instances of bullying and violence (MEXT 2007-2012). In this project, research was done on the education systems, moral education curriculum, and teaching methods in schools in several countries to find scope for improvement in the moral education imparted in Indian schools. Analysing their curriculum and upon primary research with current school students, a new curriculum is designed for class VII. Research to understand choice architecture and Soviet montage theory, along with in-depth analysis of several interactive films, was done to understand the medium and its potential. The insights were used to make an interactive short film for imparting moral education.
