The factors of students’ involvement on student-centered learning method

Abstract

Student-centered learning (SCL) is one of the teaching methods commonly used nowadays as it encourages the active participation and engagement of students in the classroom, especially for the engineering theoretical subject. This study is aimed to examine the factors of students’ involvement and participation towards the SCL Teaching Method in terms of the activities, benefits, problems, and limitations of student involvement. The quantitative data are obtained from the responses of students that enroll in an engineering theoretical subject in the Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Pahang Civil Engineering Diploma Program. These questionnaires were being classified into five major factors that are the formation of group studies for SCL activities, activities conducted for SCL teaching method, benefits that they gain from SCL method, problems that they encounter during SCL, and suggestions for student improvement towards the activity SCL session. The collected data were analyzed quantitatively by using the percentage and mean method in SPSS computer software. The Relative Importance Index (RII) system was used to quantify the relative importance of involvement factors. This study revealed three main factors affecting the participation and engagement of students in the classroom. This study has an important contribution to help academicians to improve and enhance their teaching method to achieve the objective of the SCL method in the future.

The Factors of Individuals and Course on Students' Motivation within Hybrid Learning Process

“…In conclusion, the findings of this research are a new contribution in displaying essential differences between successes of students in the online learning process. Although, some studies examnined students learning outcomes (Arthur-Nyarko & Kariuki, 2019;Tholibon et al, 2022), but gaps still not filled about online learning motivation among students (Teodorescu, Ajivas, & Amalfi, 2021). This study revealed that students' attitudes, course difficulty and students learning styles proved to be the main significant factors influencing student motivation.…”

“…Aktivitas pembelajaran daring memperlihatkan juga bahwa cita-cita agar pembelajaran terpusat pada pembelajar (siswa) semakin diperjelas (Tholibon et al, 2022). Melalui pembelajaran daring, siswa menjadi sangat aktif dalam kegiatan pembelajaran, siswa menjadi lebih mandiri.…”

Active learning pedagogical dimensions: discovering and bridging the pedagogical gaps

“…Apropos to this, it is rational in addressing active learning as a component of studentcentered learning [3]. The initiative of active learning is in line with the student-centered learning goals, which includes promoting learners' active participation, optimizing the educational environment, encouraging social engagement, and enrich technology utilization [4], [5]. At the same time, active learning promotes a variety of constructivist learning approaches that place emphasis on learners learning through creating their own knowledge and meanings, relating new concepts and experiences to prior information, and using metacognition to deepen understandings [6].…”
