Does In-Class Problem-Solving Approach Help Students Learn and Improve their Performance?: A Case Study
2023 ASEE Southeast Section Conference
03/12/2023
Abstract
In-class problem-solving in the field of science and engineering is one of the active learning and time-demanding approach to engaging students in activities in face-to-face class settings and online environments. The origin of learning is rooted in the activity, which is doing something to find out about specific topics. Engineering and science students are trained to design and construct solutions to problems in the real world. This paper presents the perceptions and attitudes of students who participated in in-class problem-solving activities in an environmental engineering course in several semesters. One of the courses from the Civil and Environmental Engineering curriculum, Introduction to Environmental Engineering was used to verify whether in-class problem-solving activities help students learn and improve their overall course grades. Problem-solving in the class as a part of course delivery was performed in each topic of the courses. At the end of the semester, a survey with three Likert-scale questions was conducted, and the data will be analyzed to determine the students’ perceptions and attitudes about the activity in terms of their learning experience and performance in the exam. The final grades will also be analyzed statistically and compared with previous similar semesters’ data to predict the effect of in-class problem-solving activities.
