I am a final year doctoral student at the University of Queensland – IIT Delhi Academy of Research (UQIDAR). My research area focuses on creating interventions for teachers that would help them resolve classroom behavioural concerns in senior secondary students (Classes 9-12). This intervention has been developed based on extensive research spanning over two years by subject experts at both IIT Delhi and the University of Queensland. The intervention hopes to assist teachers in managing difficult situations in the classroom and improve relationships between teachers, students, and parents. Madhumita’s research aims to reduce psychological and logistical barriers for teachers seeking help and increase their self-efficacy and independence within the classroom. Improved the mental health of students and teachers remains the end goal.

My background has been in academics for seven years before her PhD. I finished my post-graduation in Psychology from the University of Delhi in 2011. I taught at prominent schools in Delhi, such as The Heritage School and Step by Step School, Noida, before teaching undergraduate students at Gargi College (University of Delhi). This course is a culmination of my knowledge and experience as a teacher and expertise in Psychology.
