Learning Experiences of the GidMAT-RIMA Group with Materials Engineering Students in Autonomous Learning and Working in Teams Generic Skills

The purpose of this chapter is to show how design-based research (DBR) methodologies can be implemented in technical programs. First, the authors provide a background of recent research in interdisciplinary education, Integrative Graduate Education Research Traineeship (IGERT) programs, and design-based research. Second, a brief summary the example case, a Pedagogy module which has been implemented with Materials Science and Materials Engineering students through an IGERT program, is discussed. The final portion of the chapter presents a new implementation model for DBR along with recommendations and strategies for interested faculty, department heads, or motivated graduate students to reform existing technical curricula using design-based research. The significance of the book chapter rests in the flexibility of this model to be adapted to any program, showing instructors the iterative process for developing a course to suit the needs of a department.

Two Phases ◽

Higher Institutions

Currently, English lecturers of non-English speaking countries in higher institutions are facing heterogeneous classes. There are fortunate students during their high schools who got a chance to sharpen their English skills and others who just rely on their English school teachers. Unaffordable costs or limited facilities or access to learning are some of the factors. The learning material of ESP for Engineering for a heterogeneous class is developed. This R&D used ADDIE approach. This article focuses on the analysis of the first two phases- analysis and design. Analysis of the need of the Engineering students and English lecturers are conducted using instruments of the open questionnaire and interview list which have been validated. While in the design phase, the material is developed using an autonomous learning approach and a task-based approach. Before, continuing to the practicality test, the developed material also has been validated. This material is aimed to support the learning of " Describing a Process" which is one of the topics in ESP in the Engineering Department of Politeknik Negeri Padang. The developed material provides every meaningful task that gives a positive contribution to the students.
