Application of Flipped Class Room (FCR) and Task Based Approach (TBA) to Improve Learning and Knowledge in Engineering Education

摘要

In today?s dynamic world, the old traditional teaching methods no longer work. For a good teacher, the success depends upon many principal fundamentals and creating an adaptive learning environment for his students to acquire knowledge. It has been reflected during teaching one of the course in College of Engineering at Prince Sultan University, Riyadh that the students were not comfortable with the theory lectures whereas they feel comfortable while playing with number, meaning that their engagement in numerical problems. Flipped Class Room (FCR) and Task Based Approach (TBA) have been used for this research. It has been observed that motivating the students to read the topic in advance as a flipped classroom approach has produce satisfactory results whereas group task project as TBA approach significantly produced even better results for the identified problem. It has been concluded that Task Based Approach (TBA) should be promoted and applied for subject contains theory. It has been analyzed that the students acquire constructive knowledge and learning in TBA rather than traditional teaching strategy and flipped classroom approach.
