Analysis of Blended Classes on Operations Research Focusing on Practice

摘要

Operations Research classes are held focusing on practice. Following the textbook, slides are shown, there are lectures on problems and their formularization and solutions are explained using examples. After classes, as practice, a sheet with blank boxes for answers to similar problems in the same format as the examples was distributed and students were asked to complete it. The next week, after giving the answers to the practice problems, a sheet with problems similar to examples and practice was distributed as a challenge in the same format as practice problems and students were asked to complete it. E-learning that makes it possible to study with lecture slides and to browse answers to practice problems was provided for lesson preparation and revision in and outside of classes. At the beginning and the end of the course, students were questioned about their level of term recognition and awareness in the classes. This study analyses this information and reports on changes in level of term recognition and awareness.
