Share Paper: Ongoing Design of a Case-Based E-Learning System Promoting Engineering Students’ Personal Epistemology and Real-World Problem Solving Abilities: A Formative Evaluation
Abstract: The purpose of this project is to design and develop a case-based e-learning system that promotes the development of engineering students’ epistemic beliefs (Perry, 1970) and thus enhance their problem-solving abilities to deal with real-world engineering problems. This e-learning system provides second-year engineering students with real-world problem solving experience through four major phases: exploring situations, constructing reality, creating solutions, and reflecting on the product and the process, which has been adapted from Choi & Lee’s case-based e-learning model (2009). To design an effective and feasible e-learning system, the e-learning system itself, stakeholders, and existing college classroom environments should be continually ...
