An Implementation and Evaluation Report of the Active Learning Method EduScrum in Flipped Class

Abstract

This paper describes an implementation and evaluation report of the active learning method eduScrum in flipped class. The eduScrum test class was organized by volunteer participants of the master program Automotive Software Engineering at Chemnitz University of Technology, Germany. The “AUTOSAR based software design” seminar was selected as course for implementation the eduScrum method. The eduScrum method applied during the winter semester 2018/19 and the summer semester 2019. In the first round 30 of 80 students registered to the eduScrum class, and during the second round 40 of 85 students selected the eduScrum test class. The selected course is usually taught in a flipped class format. That was a challenging condition for the implementation of eduScrum. Due to this constrain the traditional way of implementing the eduScrum method needs to be modified and adapted to the given situation. Therefore, e-learning materials developed and placed into the university Learning Management Systems OPAL. The OPAL is online-based platform for academic teaching and learning at universities of Saxony. To measure the success of the eduScrum implementation the students within the test class did a self-evaluation based on the structure oriented evaluation method. The structure oriented evaluation model focuses on evaluation goals.

“…Data was collected three times after training of three different blocks. The data are processed by two different tools: Excel and the online tool of the SURE model [8][9][10][11]. Fig.…”

Agile Methods in Higher Education: Adapting and Using eduScrum with Real World Projects

“…A well-known example of this is eduScrum, which was published by Wijnands et al and is described in an eduScrum Guide [33]. Eduscrum was initially adapted for use in Dutch schools and is now increasingly used in higher education (e.g., [5], [30]). The integration of eduScrum has not yet been investigated as much as other agile education approaches.…”

The effect of peer mentoring program on clinical academic progress and psychological characteristics of operating room students: a parallel randomized controlled trial

“…Active approach is a form of teacher-learner interaction in which learners are no longer passive listeners, but active participants in the learning process [ 11 , 12 ]. The basis of active and comprehensive learning methods is that learning is based on experience and learners actively create knowledge based on their personal experience [ 13 – 15 ]. The importance of active learning has led professional associations and accreditation organizations, as well as organizations such as UNESCO, to recommend active learning methods in education [ 16 ].…”
