SOME METHODS OF EXPERIENCE-BASED LEARNING FOR STUDENTS SPECIALIZED IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Abstract

The paper generally presents about integrating soft skills into teaching by using experience-based teaching method. This method is the process in which the teacher plays the roles of organizing, guiding, orienting and implementing activities with learners, helping learners to find new knowledge, values and capabilities. That new knowledge and capacity continue to be verified in the process of experiencing reality, solving tasks posed by teacher, and then sharing the knowledge that has just been acquired with their friends and lecturer. Therefore, learners will be more receptive. Through the article, the authors would like to share teaching methods via practical experience in teaching specialized subjects of Mechanical Engineering to help students have more opportunities to experience, to apply the knowledge into reality, thence, forming skills and practical capacity as well as promoting the creative potential of the learners themselves.
