A Case Study on Interactive Teaching

Abstract- Over the last two decades, there have been an ever-growing awareness and emphasis of the importance of teaching with learning styles in mind in engineering education among the academics. Various learning style models were developed. Today, the curriculum of engineering and other educational disciplines are carefully designed to address these diversified learning styles. However, we still observed poor performance in students’ final examination, and students complained they do not understand what were taught. This paper presents a case study in an attempt to improve students ’ academic achievement by interactive teaching approach. The outcomes of the approach showed a 17 % improvement in general, and as much as 37 % improvement in the highest score was achieved by the students in their final examination. The insight drawn from this case study is that enthusiasm, responsibility and cooperation from both the academic and student are the crucial elements for better academic achievement.
