“…Peer tutoring positively affects students' academic performance [8,70,72] while developing social skills [6,23]. This methodology has great relevance in university studies [56,111], with a special impact during the COVID-19 pandemic [7,57]. • Scaffolding Learning was defined by Vygotsky [19] and used as a teaching strategy [100].…”

Optional university courses are designed to allow undergraduate students to specialize in relevant fields to enhance their skills and knowledge for their future careers. However, there are some cases in which students prioritize enrolling in courses that are easy to pass. This choice results in having students with low motivation and commitment, who mainly focus on doing just enough to pass the course, missing the opportunity to boost their skills. In this study, an eclectic approach is proposed, applying a mixture of active learning methods together with the theory of multiple intelligences to improve students' performance, motivation, and commitment throughout the course. The study was applied to the 56 students enrolled in the optional Micro‐Robotics Application spring course in the year 2021 at the University of Cádiz (Spain). Results demonstrate that this combination of active learning methodologies increased students' motivation, prompting them to give their best in terms of commitment, performance, and creativity. Furthermore, they were convinced that during the course they not only learned relevant robotic knowledge but also acquired essential skills needed for their future. Finally, this study highlights the benefits and future directions for implementing active learning methodologies in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics courses.

With regard to the innovation of the general education at the level of higher education in Korea based on the approach of competency-based education, researchers have predominantly focused on the individual development of key competencies and skills. However, little attention has been paid to one of the main axes of the key competency, the experience of cooperation among students. Drawing on the interview data with undergraduate students who participated in online general education courses which were based on the ‘Peer-tutoring Online Discussion (POD)’ class model, this study explores modalities and significance of their cooperation experiences in the courses. Findings suggest that the experience of cooperation based on the POD class model has several differences from traditional classes and that these features contribute to unique characteristics of the cooperation experience in the POD class model. Through their experience of cooperation in the general education courses based on the POD class model, students were able to feel a sense of achievement that they had never felt before in other classes, and also able to realize the growth of their team members as well as themselves. Moreover, respondents also explained that their experience of cooperation through the POD class model actually enabled them to foster positivity, broad perspective, leadership and collaborative skills.
