The Effect of Project-based Cooperative Studio Studies on the Basic Electronics Skills of Students’ Cooperative Learning and their Attitudes

Abstract

Abstract-Engineering education plays a prominent role in the development of technologies, society, nation, production, economy and employment. It is the art of applying scientific and mathematical principles, and experience to produce a technical product or system to meet out a specific need in the society. Based on the literature, it was thought that implementation of a cooperative project-based education on electricalelectronics engineering students could contribute to their basic engineering skills, their cooperative learning, and their attitudes towards engineering education and occupation. The aim of this study was to reveal the effect of project-based cooperative studio studies on the occupational basic skills of electrical-electronics engineering students, cooperative learning, and their attitudes towards engineering occupation. The research is designed to be a study that is half-experimental and halfquantitative study and was composed of 42 students. Within the research, project-based cooperative studio studies were utilized by the experimental group while the control group had similar course requirements for six weeks, but their practice solely included the content of the Lab II course in the official curriculum. The resulting data was gathered using the Basic Electronics Skills SelfEffacement Scale, the Scale for Attitude towards Cooperative Learning, and the Scale for Attitude towards Engineering and Engineering Education. The results indicate that the project-based cooperative studio studies are contributing more meaningfully to students' intermediate level electronics skills, and their attitudes towards cooperative learning and towards engineering occupation.

Teaching programming using eduScrum methodology

“…Kits can help teach various subjects such as physics, chemistry, and computer science. Korkmaz (2018) , Zhan & Hsiao (2020) , and Kunduracıoğlu (2018) also confirmed the suitability of using Lego building blocks in the teaching process in their studies.…”

The Effect of Digital Technology Integration on Students’ Academic Performance through Project-Based Learning in an E-learning Environment

“…• H6: AI has a positive effect on PBL • H7: AI has a positive effect on SE • H8: AI has a positive effect on AP In the related literature, PBL has been advocated for enhancing students' interest and attitudes towards learning and their curiosity to pursue further education [40]. Through the PBL approach, students are meaningfully engaged when trying to solve a problem by searching, analysing, evaluating and synthesising knowledge [39], [41].…”

“…A vast number of empirical studies that investigated the effectiveness of PBL in higher education settings indicated a positive association with improved students' motivation, engagement, achievement and overall academic performance [10], [13], [14], [28], [40], [46]- [48]. Bilgin et al [34] investigated the effects of the PBL method on undergraduate students' achievement and its association with their self-efficacy beliefs about science teaching and opinions about PBL.…”

“…• H9: Integrating digital technology in PBL has a positive effect on SE • H10: Integrating digital technology in PBL has a positive effect on AP Learning engagement, which refers to the active participation of students in their learning process [20], has been demonstrated to positively affect the learning experience quality [40]. Warnock and Duncan [52] stated that student engagement must be in centre of the learning process.…”

The Mediating Role of English Speaking Skills in the Relationship between Social Literacy and the Engagement of Students

“…They added that social literacy is also termed as social competence but social literacy is more broad and subtle and is a complex process when talking about how it is acquired (11). Moreover, the conduct of the study is important in order to emphasize the factors affecting the literacy of a student in the school setting and to examine if literacy influences student engagement through their English Speaking skills [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51].…”
