Abstract

This study tried to analyze the difficulties that is facing engineering students when taking a Numerical Analysis course, where video lecture notes can be used to involve and develop students' performance. Several teaching strategies adopted including Video lecture notes as class lecture notes support. 45 engineering students divided into 3 groups each of 15 students, two as experimental groups and the third as the controlling group. In class tests, homework's Questionnaire was distributed to the students to determine the learning strategy they prefer. There were statically significant in one of the experimental group. Third as Controlling group, The results showed that the blend method of in class note plus the video lecture notes were the best, then came in the second place is in Class notes supported with handouts while teaching videos as a form of distance learning on their own were the last. In class test, post test and delayed test was deployed to assure the method's effectiveness

Highlights

  • The numerical analysis course is one of the core courses in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering

  • Rossett et al, (2003), emphasised the need for a blended learning design strategy focusing on the aims of learning as a form a blended learning strategy

  • The lab lecturers are always one lecture behind the theoretical Part and students are required to solve the homework in the class All exams were class test using software and closed book test

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The numerical analysis course is one of the core courses in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. Most of the students depend on calculator only (most of the students prefer to do calculation rather than use software and programmes prepared by the teacher or the authors) Given this situation, the researcher tried many strategies and different procedure to teach this course.Yoon and Lim, (2007) describe blended learning as “a purposeful blend of delivery media ( face-to-face and various forms of technologies) to improve learners' performance.”. Deployment duration and method of delivery are examples of other facets that may affect the video lecture notes This can promote student reflection and feed forward action, leading to improvement in the student’s performance; the potential impact of this creative note fading with time. Aims of the study: This study aimed to analyze engineering students' performance in Numerical Analysis Courses
