Peer learning efficacy analysis on undergraduate software design course

Abstract

Knowledge sharing and peer learning are important characteristics for learning similar engineering topics, especially suitable for the learning in college. Software design is an advanced required course for software engineering departments. However, most students might have no enough incentives to learn it by themselves.To distinguish the performance of the peer learning, we adopted the peer learning in software design course to analyze the possibility of adoption. Our selected course was a junior major and held on the second semester. Its regulations are declared twice before the due date of the course selection. Students can group their peer learning team by at most three ones, so they can choose as individual learning. Both review and summary quizzes were held at the first and the last 15-min in the Moodle every week, respectively. There were 34 students attending this experiment with four 3-student groups, five 2-student groups, and 12 singles. A web-based tool was designed to illustrate the peer learning performance and students can browse their own score

Investigating the learning performances between sequence‐ and context‐based teaching designs for virtual reality (VR)‐based machine tool operation training

“…Our research team has been devoted to engineering education, including machine tool education , engineering innovation education , and software engineering education for several years. We have also studied many techniques to develop superior solutions for VR‐based machine tools and have tried to apply the techniques in training .…”

Aplicación Sigma y Grupos Facebook: Evaluación de la Usabilidad y Aceptación Tecnológica por Estudiantes de Ingeniería de Sistemas de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato en Ecuador

“…Estas herramientas permitieron compartir recursos disponibles en Internet, dialogar con relación al impacto de las áreas de aplicación de árboles y grafos e interactuar socialmente con relación al impacto de los materiales compartidos utilizando las opciones me gusta y compartir. Al igual que en el estudio de grupos Facebook de Castro y González-Palta (2016), y en el de Po-Hsun y Li-Wei (2018), sobre la eficacia del aprendizaje en grupo, los estudiantes se agruparon aleatoriamente en dos grupos. Un grupo trabajó con Sigma (grupo experimental) y otro con el grupo Facebook (grupo control).…”

Deep learning combined with the teaching practice path of computer software application courses under the perspective of “five-education integration”

“…Onwuegbuzie, A. J. et al argued that educational interventions have a more profound impact on teaching and learning outcomes, arguing for the importance of collecting and analyzing quantitative data to suggest strategies for better teaching and learning practices by analyzing the combined impact of educational interventions on teaching and learning [14]. Cheng, P. H. et al believe that knowledge sharing and cooperative learning are important features of classroom practice, focusing on exploring the factors that can stimulate students' motivation to learn and desire to practice in software design courses, and believe that cooperative learning can improve students' willingness to learn and practice to a certain extent [15]. Yixian, L. et al focus on the problems that exist in the computer network course of software engineering, combined with the practice theory, and proposed a method of computer network course reform to improve students' practical ability in software courses by increasing practice links [16].…”
