 “Doing projects” is a long-standing tradition in American education. According to Buck Institute for Education (BIE) (www.pblworks.org) the roots of PBL lie in this tradition. But the emergence of a method of teaching and learning called Project Based Learning (PBL) is the result of two important developments over the last 25 years. First, there has been a revolution in learning theory. Research in neuroscience and psychology has extended cognitive and behavioral models of learning—which support traditional direct instruction—to show that knowledge, thinking, doing, and the contexts for learning are inextricably tied. We now know that learning is partly a social activity; it takes place within the context of culture, community, and past experiences.

This review of The Phenomenological Heart of Teaching and Learning: Theory, Research, and Practice in Higher Education focuses on the organization, strengths, and weaknesses of a newly-published qualitative research text that also serves as a guide for teachers who wish to improve their practice. The case study nature of the text is explored, as well as the contributions of the text’s authors. The book is most notable as a text that draws on the rich history of Merleau-Ponty and seeks to consider classroom instruction in higher education in light of phenomenological tenets.

A direct teaching model is a teaching approach that can help students learn basic skills and acquire information that can be taught step by step. Direct instruction or direct teaching is based on behavioristic learning theory that focuses on the mastery of concepts and changes in behavior as a result of learning that can be observed. The approach used in this model is teacher-centered. The teacher presents material/transfers information directly and structured using a lecture, expository, question, and answer, presentation/demonstration model. This model is the leading choice applied to students due to its advantages, including the relatively large amount of material delivered, easy learning time to manage, and this model will be relatively easy to follow for procedural matters. In addition to some of its advantages, the direct teaching model also has drawbacks that, according to researchers, are vital to the learning process itself; namely, students tend to wait for raw answers from the material presented by the teacher.

 Abstract – The teaching technique of project-based learning (PBL) has been part of the academic curriculum for sophomore Engineering students of Maua Institute of Technology since 2014. Such an approach, which required substantial changes in the teaching and learning methods, had a significant impact on students’ learning and motivation. Every year a new PBL project is proposed.As part of the evaluation process, reflecting on the past experiences and merits of the PBL experiences is very important. After presenting the overview of PBL in the context of teaching Physics, we discuss in this paper the merits of this approach by analyzing the quantitative and qualitative survey results of the last three PBL editions.

Learning quadratic functions that had been performed by the majority of vocational school and high school mathematics teacher in Kuala Tungkal is still using conventional learning media. The use of conventional learning media is experiencing a lot of obstacles, such as: a fairly long time in describing the graph function, especially when analyzing some quadratic function graphs with various characteristics. APOS is one of the constructivist learning theory which states that students learn through several stages, namely: action – process – object – schema. And to integrate into media APOS writer adapting ADDIE development model. The effectiveness of the use of media-based learning theory APOS seen from the student activity sheet can be concluded more increased activity of students in the learning process. Study of the test results, students were able to meet the completeness criteria stipulated minimum is 75. With an average value of learning outcomes, namely 87.14. It can be seen from the students' responses on a test group of small and large groups where it is concluded that researchers develop learning media can be categorized as good / interesting in the teaching and learning of mathematics.

TELD stands for “Teaching by Examples and Learning by Doing.” It is an on-line courseware engine over the World Wide Web. There are four folds of meanings in TELD. First, TELD represents a teaching and learning method that unifies a number of contemporary methods such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in medical education, Project-Based Learning (PBL) in engineering education, and Case Method (CM) in business education. Second, TELD serves as a Web server for hosting teaching and learning materials especially based on the TELD method. A variety of on-line facilities are provided for editing and uploading course materials such as syllabus, schedule, curriculum, examples of case study, exercises of mini-project, formative and summative assessments, etc. Third, TELD is a courseware search engine where educators are able to register their course materials and search for materials suitable for a particular course. In contrast with general-purpose search engines, TELD is set up for the special purpose of education. Therefore, the time and efforts spent on surfing are expected to be reduced dramatically. Finally, TELD is an on-line virtual classroom for electronic delivery of electronic curriculum materials. In addition to providing the lecture notes, TELD not only provides discussion questions for conducting in-class discussions and homework as formative assessment but also provides facilities for students to plan and submit their group work. This article presents an overview of the TELD courseware engine together with its background and underlying philosophy.

Since the last few decades, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) interfaces have shown the potential to enhance teaching and learning, by combining physical and virtual worlds and leveraging the advantages of both. Conservative techniques of content presentation (fixed video, audio, scripts) lack personalization and interaction.
