| Summary: | The research was conducted to compare the impacts of problem-based learning (PBL) and
example-based learning (EBL) on the learning performance in an engineering domain. The
research was implemented by means of experimental design. Specifically, a two-group
experiment with a pre- and post-test design was used in this research. A total of 37 students
were randomly assigned to PBL and EBL groups. A pre- and post test were developed to
measure learning performance. In addition, cognitive loads imposed by those learning
strategies were gauged and using NASA-TLX questionnaire. The results reveal that EBL is a
more effective way to enhance learning performance and induces lower cognitive load during
the process of learning and answering the test in comparison to PBL. |
