School Based Assessment (SBA) has been in place since 2012 in Malaysia. Amongst the main purpose of it was to improve students' learning and assessment system. However, school still fails to explain and implement a broader assessment process that can improve teaching and learning and still using manual filing systems to manage and process the students result. Therefore, Collaborative Portfolio Assessment...
The work shows the proposal to create a Latin-American Research Network related to Learning Analytics, initially made up of researchers from 13 Higher Education Institutions from 7 Latin American countries. The Network has started with collaboration agreements and the formation of lines of communication, where we have talked about the progress and related projects developed in the participating institutions...
The ability of students to retain information for future use is worthwhile in any subject. Specifically, it is essential in IT because concepts are built upon each other as a student progresses through a curriculum and courses. In this paper, we propose a mobile-based micro learning approach to help students to retain more knowledge and skills, and support classroom learning. The idea is to chunk...
Based upon information received from the industry, one can define the knowledge and skills that are required for an engineer aiming to work in the IT industry. In this paper the authors present a possible method by which the learning process can be made more efficient. The authors highlight some advantages of the project-oriented approach in a programming course at Subotica Tech, an institution that...
This study developed a system with knowledge peer which stimulate students to social learning quickly and scaffold them to seek for help from the experts and other peers easily, results showed the efficiency of it.
MOOC, which means massive open online courses, is a kind of new education and learning pattern. Providing more high-quality, efficient and convenient education resources and learning opportunities, MOOC will be the key point of the construction of courses in the next few years all over the world. MOOC have many problems to be solved, among which the construction of curriculum and knowledge system...
Web-based learning environments such as the Go-Lab portal facilitate the structuring and scaffolding of inquiry processes and enable learners to create various types of knowledge artefacts (texts, concept maps, hypotheses). In this context, we have introduced semantic technologies to extract key concepts from heterogeneous learner-generated artefacts. Based on this approach, we propose an algorithm...
In traditional teaching, teachers transmit knowledge, and students receive the information passively in the classroom. There are few opportunities as well as proper situations for students to apply the acquired knowledge, in other words, students do not know how to use what they have learned in their daily lives. In this study, we designed a system for learning by authoring scripts, setting stage,...
Concepts of Control Systems are important as they are present in the operation of a broad set of systems in all engineering branches. Sustainability issues have led to an intensive use of these concepts on systems. However teaching / learning of Control Systems Engineering has always been a difficult subject not only for the underlying theoretical part, but also for the few examples that are traditionally...
Started from the teaching essence, this paper explains the conceptions of teaching application mode, knowledge application pattern and model construction. Then the theoretical model of network teaching application development is provided based on constructivist learning theory. From the perspective of integration of networks, services, and applications, the principle rules of new generation of network...
The use of games in software engineering education is not new. However, recent technologies have provided new opportunities for using games and their elements to enhance learning and student engagement. The goal of this paper is twofold. First, we discuss how game related methods have been used in the context of software engineering education by means of a systematic mapping study. Second, we investigate...
Exploratory Testing (ET) is a widely applied approach in practice. This approach relies on the knowledge and experience of test engineers and technicians who perform ET. Hence, we aimed at evaluating the impact of education and experience level on the effectiveness of ET. We conducted an industrial case study for this purpose. 19 practitioners, who have different educational backgrounds and experience...
It is paramount for software engineers to develop the skills and background necessary to effectively work, communicate and innovate on an international scale. Our growing global world needs an increasingly diverse workforce. The effects of the globalization have been felt in the software engineering arena through software engineering projects realized by diverse professionals located in different...
The increasing complexity of the new breed of distributed intelligent systems, such as the Internet of Things, which require a diversity of languages and protocols, can only be tamed with design and programming best practices. Interest is also growing for including the human factor, as advocated by the ambient intelligence (AmI) research field, whose focus is on transparently and intelligently supporting...
There is a need to prepare engineering students for the future world to be good engineers, to be a good engineer the theoretical background of the curriculum that they go through is not sufficient they need to practice what they have understood. In order for students to practice as engineers, they need to have exposure to a number of projects that offer complex problems, along with the uncertainty...
It is generally recognized that traditional teaching methodologies, e.g. expositive lectures, are prone to become inefficient, especially in terms of knowledge retention, because many students quickly lose attention. Therefore, it is vital the adoption of new teaching methodologies that enable the students' engagement in their own learning process. Based on a case study, this manuscript aims to demonstrate...
Despite attending face-to-face meetings with the Muslim scholars, the Islamic Websites (I-webs) has been one of the most influential mediums of communication for Muslims across the globe to find information about Islam, and to share the knowledge they learned to both Muslims and non-Muslims. Realizing the significant impact of I-webs in spreading da’wah, it is imperative for the researchers understand...
The present study reports findings on students' perceptions in Electrical/Electronic Engineering courses from four higher education institutions: two Portuguese and two Brazilian. This study was based on a questionnaire previously validated that contains two main parts: student characterization and a list of forty-four items, divided in six groups (Teacher Involvement Perception, Student Interest,...
Assessment of students' conceptual knowledge is a difficult task in all fields including electrical engineering. Recently, electrical engineering assessments have tried to isolate various types of knowledge through expert reviewed and validated tests or concept inventories, which attempt to cover the foundational concepts within a particular domain. While these tests have been fundamental in uncovering...
Issues related to the failure of mathematics in the teaching of engineering and the negative impact that these difficulties have in various courses in engineering degrees is a problem to which we have devoted our attention and investigation. Most students when entering higher education have insufficient preparation in mathematics. It is further aggravated because of the different areas of knowledge...
