USING CASE-BASED REASONING INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY TO TEACH MATHEMATICAL MODELING AND ANALYSIS OF MECHANICAL SYSTEMS
Abstract
Many industrial technology education reform movements call for developing
students to engage multidisciplinary studies through the complex problems that
emerge for advances and changes in engineering theory and technology applications.
The purposes of this research were to design of the case-based reasoning instructional
strategy framework as part of the study along with the approach and to examine the
effect of achieved using case-based reasoning instructional strategy to develop
students for undertaking their own design projects. A one-group pre-test and post-test
quasi-experimental design was employed in this study. All 31 a third-year in 5503901
Industrial Technology Research course of undergraduate mechanical technology
students, Faculty of Industrial Technology at Nakhon Si Thammarat Rajabhat University
in semester 2/2013 were invited to participate in the present study. The procedures
provided to the students as the course goals of Problem Solving in Mathematical
Modeling and Analysis of Rotational Mechanical Systems: A case study of Mechanical
Transmission System for Industry was conducted to test students’ learning outcome.
Data were analyzed by the descriptive statistics including mean, standard deviation and
95% confidential interval were used to estimate the students’ learning outcomes to
learning by CBRIS at pre-test scores. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) with post-hoc
multiple-comparison (Bonferroni) was used to identify significant factors affecting
students’ learning outcomes to learning by CBRIS at post-test scores. The results
showed that for an analytical reasoning approach to learning, the post-test mean score
was noticeably higher than that at the pre-test. No significant difference was observed
between the pre-test and post-test mean scores for a previous experience approach.
The research finding fostered certain aspects of problem solving in mathematical
modeling and analysis. The study also some suggestions of use instructional strategy,
that support students’ thinking and reasoning.
