A quasi-experimental study was conducted for five weeks on 81 first-semester Diploma students, who were attending the subject of Fundamental Accounting (DPA1013). An experimental, pre-test and post-test design was implemented along with a control group, whereby the PBL teaching method was carried out for an experimental group as a treatment, while the existing teaching method was maintained in the control group. The measurement was carried out when students answered the pre-test and post-test motivation questionnaires, and the data were analysed using ANCOVA. The results show that the students' intrinsic motivation in the experimental group is higher than that of the control group. Therefore, it can be concluded that the PBL approach enhances the intrinsic motivation of students in the accounting course compared with the conventional approach. The implication is that PBL can be applied to attract students' interest in accounting to improve learning and to prepare students for their future roles in the workplace.","PeriodicalId":202625,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 8th International Conference on Engineering Education (ICEED)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130279404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Students have sometimes been assessed for their learning outcome in subjects where they enroll by participating in playing the board games or watching the animations. Nonetheless, not many will seek students to create the games or animations. On the other hand, Information Security (InfoSec), audit and control, as well as risk management are traditional disciplines where games and animations were rarely introduced. A study was undertaken to induce senior undergraduate students to design board games or to create animations as part of the assessment, in a subject of Information System Audit and Control. One motivation is to validate whether students who chose the said options for group project may have a better learning experience than other students who chose the traditional assessment method. The research also tries to explore the possible adoption of board games and animations as part of the subject assessment. We included both game design and animation design as group project options. After the completion of the project, we invited the students, lecturers of other courses and professionals from the industry to comment on our alternative options of the group project. Our results indicated students had a better project experience and learning climate when designing board games or animations for their project, while the preliminary feedback from the industry and other academics are both positive in general.","PeriodicalId":202625,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 8th International Conference on Engineering Education (ICEED)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130328498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The word \"discovery\" in this context means finding, through observation and/or analysis, a remarkable phenomenon or rule which one has not recognized before. The developed application runs on Windows PCs, and it consists of three elements; the Data Visualization Sub-system, the Information Integration Sub-system, and the Stored Data. As the data for analysis for discoveries, the application contains and uses air temperature data, which are familiar to many people and have an abundance of physical characteristics. And those characteristics can be observed and/or analyzed using simple graphs. The Data Visualization Sub-system allows its user to make graphs of air temperature data without any troublesome procedures. The Information Integration Subsystem helps its user integrate information derived from graphs which are generated through the Data Visualization Sub-system. After the development, the application was applied to a seminar class at a university. A questionnaire survey was conducted on the students who used the application in the class. The result of the survey shows comparatively good operability of the application. The result also implies the effectiveness of holding a presentation meeting about their discoveries after the class. However, the result indicates that the instructions to the students should be examined.","PeriodicalId":202625,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 8th International Conference on Engineering Education (ICEED)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127309097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Student's engagement in learning is important to guarantee a good academic result. Thus it is important to encourage engagement from students in the learning process as the more engaged the students is, the better the absorption of the knowledge a student will receive. Previous literatures stated that there are many factors that are leading to enhancing student's engagement in learning process. Among others are the relationship between students and lecturers and blended learning. Thus this research explores the factors enhancing student's engagement in learning processes through their participation in blended learning as well as lecturer students' relationship. A quantitative survey questionnaire was developed which explores the behaviour, experiences, perspectives and feelings of respondents towards their engagement in learning. Descriptive analysis, reliability analysis, Pearson's correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were applied in this study in order to measure the independent and dependent variables relationship. Based on data from the sample of 329 students in a faculty of Business management in a Public University in Selangor, the objectives are achieved as the results show that there are a positive and significant relationship between blended learning satisfaction and student engagement as well relationship between lecturer support and student engagement.","PeriodicalId":202625,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 8th International Conference on Engineering Education (ICEED)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128804275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this model is the definition by levels of learning and the definition of some tasks needed in order to that the knowledge will be acquired by the students in formation on investigation, allowing to these generate new knowledge that will be taken advantage, first, for their lifes and second by the future students that will belong to the groups of investigation known such as research incubators, reinforcing the research cycle of these. The proposal presented is based on the Stage Self Direct Learning (SSDL) model, which is divided by stages of learning according to the role that the student or the professor could have in a determined course. In our case, it has chosen three levels of this model according to the features of our program which is of nature technological. That means that the time of preparation for labors outside of the curriculum is limited by some factors, e.g., lack of time or the restrictions in the schedules that a student could have during his educational process. These considerations were taken into account in consonance to the lineament established by the Colombian Education Ministry, which defines the educational standards that the technological programs must have in relation to the competences, the time dedicated by the student in the different subjects or academic labors and the scope of these programs to labor level. Nevertheless, though the present proposal was thought for technological programs of electronics, it could be extrapolated to other programs with similar structure, enhancing the educational process in the students and helping to they become long-term learners in different knowledge areas.","PeriodicalId":202625,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 8th International Conference on Engineering Education (ICEED)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123783157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
