Implementation and Evaluation of Active-learning Techniques: Adaptable Activities for a Variety of Engineering Courses

Abstract: Active learning is a form of learning approach in which students are actively involved in the learning process through specially designed activities, often in groups, followed by reflection upon what they have done. The effectiveness of active learning techniques that are intended to improve students' learning outcomes is highly dependent on the extent to which students are participating in the activity and also on the feedback they receive throughout or at the end of activity. While many studies have shown th… Show more

“…However, codesign programmes are often examined by a single event as there is currently no simple way in comparing the dataset of one programme with past programmes to understand whether the programme works across different settings with different design challenges. Besides that, design assessment also needs to consider adaptable activities involving stakeholders (Schmidt and Libre, 2020). Design factors such as instructional methods, contexts, boundaries, engagement techniques, and resource management (Barkley, 2010), and human factors such as stakeholders' influence and other contributing factors like participant profiles and instructors' knowledge of contexts (Thitithamawat et al, 2018) need to be addressed.…”

“…The course is structured in a way that involves several different formative and summative assessments (e.g., quizzes, homework, and exams) most of which are collected on a weekly basis. In addition, students' participation in the class activities was evaluated through a series of active learning activities that were conducted in every class meeting [5]. The first midterm exam was given by the end of week 4.…”

“…The lack of interaction in online teaching is arguably more pronounced in engineering courses, where learning outcomes often involve development of problem solving skills. Active learning activities -reported by many instructors [2,3,11] to be an effective way to engage students in their learning process -are seemingly difficult, if not impossible, to implement in an online environment. The key component of in-class problem solving active learning activities is student-student interaction that allows participants to work together towards finding the solutions to complex problems by sharing ideas, spotting and correcting each other's mistakes, receiving feedback from the instructor, and teaching concepts and learning to/from each other.…”
