Mix Learning Process in Control Engineering Course at Mechanical Engineering Department Universitas Andalas

Abstract

This study is aimed to evalute the effectiveness mix learning process between Cooperative Learning (CL) and Teacher Centered Learning (TCL) methods applied in Control Engineering course at Mechanical Engineering Department, Universitas Andalas. To conduct the learning process, the lecture material that requires an understanding of the theory delivered, students are asked to works in group discussions (CL). Meanwhile, TCL method is delivered for lecture material that requires intensive mathematical practice. The effectiveness of the learning process using combination of these two methods is showing by increasing of the achievement level and the final grade of the students in the Control Engineering course.
