Cooperative Project-based Learning for Machine Design in the Industrial Engineering Program: Methodologies and Experiences

A Comparison of the Problem-solving Skills of Students in PjBL Versus CPjBL Model: An Experimental Study

“…The combination of cooperative and project-based learning is very suitable to learning in vocational education because project-based learning leads the students to construct their knowledge in designing a tool or machine to solve real-world problems, and the learning activities required cooperation so that learning can be implemented effectively. Perez et al (2009) suggests that in learning implemented using cooperative project-based learning, students learn together, become integrated and interconnected and participate in project tasks to develop their ability to design real machines. Chen (2004) explains that students would have a good academic achievement if cooperative project-based learning was applied in students learning assignment about web page development.…”

Open Problem-Based Learning (OPBL) Scenario on 2D Text Animation Using Polya Approach

“…It is caused by the absence of equality between students and their lecturer. Both parties should work on solving problems together and engage more in two-way discussions so that students feel empowered, confident and motivated, which would result in an optimized understanding of a subject compared to the conventional lecture (Pérez et al, 2009). In line with the find-ings of (Slunt & Giancarlo, 2004) which stated that the OPBL model that focuses on the students provides them with the opportunity to decide for themselves how far they are going to learn.…”
