The influence of multi-frontal teaching method on the effectiveness of the teaching process in the applied studies in technical sciences

Abstract

The orientation towards equity and quality in education clearly imposes the need for individual approach to each student separately. This situation is especially pronounced in the higher education institutions of applied studies in the field of technology, whose primary goal is very often individual training for use of highly specialized software and hardware tools. In such a situation it is necessary to move away from classical ex-cathedra methodology, and to develop student-centred learning environments. The multi-frontal teaching method was until now experimentally analyzed at the level of primary and secondary education in Serbia, where it shows results that suggest additional research is warranted. The research presented in this paper aims to investigate the effectiveness of this method applied in higher education institution of applied studies in the domain of technology. Results of the conducted research indicate that the application of the multifrontal teaching method shows a positive effect on students' performance, self-efficacy and overall sense of personal gain and satisfaction.

Collaborative Learning Supported by Blockchain Technology as a Model for Improving the Educational Process

“…Motivation is manifested as the existence of the desire and will to achieve a certain goal, when we mobilize physical and intellectual resources for that goal, and when we actively and permanently focus on achieving the goal we have set. For this reason, motivation emerges as a particularly important, perhaps even essential, factor in the analysis of the approach that an individual has towards some activity he performs [15].…”

“…The discussion about the implementation and evaluation of the multi-frontal teaching method (VFN) in technical sciences is interesting. VFN was effective in enhancing student engagement, accommodating diverse learning styles, and improving the overall effectiveness of the teaching process [15].…”
