The Effectiveness of Teaching Introductory Electronics in an Integrated Teaching Studio Environment*
نویسنده
چکیده
City University of Hong Kong has initiated a studio approach to teaching, starting with modules in introductory science and engineering. Studio teaching replaces the traditional large-group lecture, small-group tutorial and separate laboratory work with an integrated approach. It utilises computer-based teaching materials that emphasise multimedia and interactive learning. This paper describes the introduction of studio teaching for an introductory electronic engineering course designed for first-year Mechatronics Engineering degree students. The initial results for assessing the effectiveness of this type of teaching method are presented.

متن کاملA Studio-Based Approach to Teaching Information Technology
Studio-based teaching is well-established in creative disciplines such as architecture and the arts, but it has been rarely used in the teaching of IT at a tertiary level. The wider use of the studio model for teaching, originally proposed by Schon (1983), has been discussed extensively in the literature, and elements of it can be identified in teaching innovations such as problem-based learnin...
متن کاملAssessing the Effectiveness of Studio Physics at Georgia State University
Previous studies have shown that many students have misconceptions about basic concepts in physics which persist after instruction. It has been concluded that one of the challenges lies in the teaching methodology. To address this, Georgia State University (GSU) has begun teaching studio algebra-based physics. Although many institutions have implemented studio physics, most have done so in calc...
متن کاملAn Interactive Learning Environment for Teaching Microeconomics
Economy is dynamic and changing. One of the biggest problems with the introductory economics courses is that they are too static. System Dynamics can help us in teaching dynamic aspects of economy. “Supply Demand World” (SDW) is an Interactive Learning Environment (ILE) to teach introductory microeconomics based on the system thinking and system dynamics concepts. The paper presents the underly...
