The Learning Motivating Strategy for Engineering Education

Abstract

Because the scientific theories tackled in engineering education are relatively sophisticated, the education strategies should be subjects of investigation by researchers. In this study, a learning motivating strategy for engineering education was proposed. The proposed strategy was based on a method that is divided into two parts: the effective learning language and effective learning tools and ideas. For testing the learning strategy proposed in this study, 300 students of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, at King Abdulaziz University, participated in the questionnaire. The results showed the high effectiveness of the proposed effective learning language and the effective learning tools and ideas. The results showed the importance of the ‘Why’ driving question in addition to ‘How’ driving question that helps the student to have a versatile image. The students claimed the influence of the lecturer voice quality on attracting the attention. We recommend using the useful language structures proposed in the study because of the immense effect on the student persuasion.
