An Action Research on The Effect of Using Real Modeled Object in Teaching Orthographic Drawing Concepts on Students’ Performance

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) has become a common tool used by educational institutions in teaching engineering drawing. Although more practical, learning that relies too heavily on CAD can lead to a decrease in students' ability to visualize and interpret technical drawing objects. This study will examine the integration of CAD in technical drawing education with the use of real model objects in the orthographic drawing and its impact on students’s performance. The study employed a three-step data collection approach, including a pre-test, intervention, and post-test, as well as a questionnaire to determine students' perceptions of the learning process. The study participants were fifteen fourth-grade high school students from SMA Seri Aman, Kota Tinggi. The students had previously been taught orthographic drawing and had prior knowledge of the subject matter. Based on the regression testing results, a p-value of 0.00 <0.05 was obtained, indicating a significant relationship between real modeled object learning and students' learning performance. Additionally, based on the average scores, there was an improvement in each phase, with pre-test scores of 4.46 and post-test scores of 8.40, indicating that the use of real modeled objects significantly improved learning outcomes compared to conventional learning models in orthographic drawing materials

Innovation Level Amongst Engineering And Non-Engineering Undergraduate Students In One Of The University In Malaysia

Engineers of the future must be capable of working successfully in multidisciplinary teams. Consequently, to advance innovative endeavours, engineering education and training should be considered in economic policies. The purpose of this study was to determine the significance of differences in innovation capabilities between engineering and non-engineering students. The research design is quantitative, using a questionnaire as the research instrument. The population were undergraduate students at a Malaysian university. Only 223 out of 370 respondents provided feedback within two weeks of data collection. 117 were non-engineering students, and the other 106 were engineering students. To measure the differences between the two groups of students, an inferential t-test was used. The Rasch analysis approach was applied to analyse the profiles of the students. The results showed that the innovation level of engineering students was greater than that of non-engineering students. Nonengineering students demonstrate marginally more (n=105, 47.09%) than engineering students (n=99, 44.39%) in “Very High Levels” of innovation. As a result, engineering education has grown and increased demand to efficiently train a diverse group of engineers for these challenges.

STUDENTS' PERCEPTIONS OF THE APPLICATION OF ORIGAMI ART IN ENGINEERING DRAWING SUBJECT

This study was conducted to examine the extent of the potential use of origami art in Engineering drawing subject. There are two objectives to be achieved in this study which are to evaluate the students' perception on the importance of origami art in education and also their perception on the application of origami art in engineering drawing learning. This study was conducted at Kolej Vokasional Tanjung Puteri Johor and involved a total of 30 students. A course implementing origami in engineering drawing subject was conducted and the research findings were obtained using survey forms distributed after the completion of the course. The results found that students had a positive perception towards the importance of origami art in education. In addition, for the second objective, students also gave a positive perception towards the application of origami art in engineering drawing learning

ORIGAMI AS AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL AND ITS EFFECT ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCHOOL STUDENTS

In recent years, origami has also made its way into the field of education. Many countries have implemented origami in their educational curricula due to its numerous benefits for student development. Origami has been found to help students in many ways, including the development of cognitive, social, and motor skills. To investigate the effects of origami on student development, a study was conducted using a systematic literature review method. The study focused on articles published between 2018 and March 13, 2023, and utilized keywords such as "origami," "education," "student development," "cognitive skills," "social skills," and "motor skills." Six article selection criteria were established before the selection process, ensuring that only the most relevant and reliable sources were included. For instance, origami was found to be effective in improving students' math and geometry skills. Through the folding of paper, students were able to develop their spatial reasoning, geometric thinking, and problem-solving abilities. Additionally, origami was found to enhance students' fine motor skills, which are essential for various activities, such as writing and drawing. Origami also had a positive impact on students' psychology and emotion, as it provided a calming and relaxing activity that can help students reduce stress and anxiety. Furthermore, origami was found to foster creativity and critical thinking, as it requires students to think creatively and strategically when designing their paper creations. &nbsp
