Measure on the use of quiz-based learning environment in enhancing student learning in engineering modules

Grant Name
SIT Advancement for Learning and Teaching (SALT)

Abstract

The learning of engineering is a challenging task as the subject involves complex engineering concepts and principles, as well as the need to deal with many complicated formulae and equations. Quiz-based learning and assessment have been introduced by many educators in their classroom teaching, and this project aims to explore and measure the use of quiz-based learning environments in enhancing student learning.

The specific aims of this project are to:

  1. measure the effectiveness of an alternative quiz-based learning environment implemented in SIT in enhancing student learning, and
  2. explore a stimulating and inspiring way of presenting complicated concepts to students through self-internalisation and peer learning.

The plan for the project is to implement the “Group-style Quiz-type” tutorial approach in three SIT modules. The effectiveness of the quiz-based learning environment in enhancing student learning will be measured and quantified. The feasibility of implementing the alternative learning approach to modules at different academic standing (Year 1 to Year 3) will also be studied.
