Numerical Methods is a course that can be conducted using workshops and group discussion. This study has been implemented on undergraduate students of level two at the Faculty of Engineering, International Islamic University Malaysia. The Numerical Method course has been delivered to two Sections 1 and 2 with 44 and 22 students in each section, respectively. Systematic steps have been followed ...

aims: although several studies have confirmed the validity and the strength of the student-centered approach and most training centeres have put it as the heading of their agenda, there are still problems in the method of implementation, increasing the need for further research to review the mode of implementation. in this regard, the present study has been conducted to investigate students’ an...

Learning environment is a vast area and varies from time to time and place to place. In the broader spectrum, a learning environment may be teacher-centered or student-centered. The teacher-centered learning environment lacks active participation of students in the teaching learning process, and lecturing is a predominant mode of instruction. Here, there is considerably less interaction among s...

Note-taking has a long history in educational settings. Previous research has shown that note-taking leads to improved learning and performance on assessment. It was therefore hypothesized that note-taking could play an important role in narrative-centered learning. To investigate this question, a note-taking facility was introduced into a narrative-centered learning environment. Students were ...

University learning can be either teacher centered or student centered. Problem-based self-directed learning in the context of small groups provides students with an opportunity to take greater responsibility for their own learning. In problem-based learning, process and content are inextricably linked, with the three cardinal elements being the students, the tutors, and the problems. The desig...

Engagement has been viewed as an important construct to understand students’ learning performances in classroom settings. Taking an interactive perspective, the study investigates ninth graders’ cognitive, emotional, and behavioral engagement in teacher-centered (TC) and student-centered (SC) technology-enhanced classrooms. 54 students from two science classes in Taiwan participated in this stu...
