Abstract:
Knowledge-based learning has been the emphasized pedagogy and balanced with skills-based learning in Engineering education for the last six decades. Students have learned and gained their experiences mainly from lectures, assignments, laboratory sessions, project works, and a final-year project or a dissertation. Besides pedagogy improvement, several teaching and learning methods such as problem-based learning, project-based learning, virtual classroom, etc., have been introduced and applied to offer a variety of learning activities to enhance graduates’ competence. This paper presents an analysis of the learning experience that students gain from current teaching and learning methods instructors are using. A survey was conducted on both European and Thai instructors on teaching and learning methods that they normally use and that are effective in their opinion. The survey results will be analyzed and mapped on learning experience model called ‘LOVE’ that classifies learning activities based on the nature of learning and student involvement to draw insight about experience students gain.
