An Empirical Study Of Learning Objects As Alternative Pedagogical Tool In Engineering Education

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of learning objects as alternative pedagogical tool in laboratory engineering education. 160 undergraduate students who enrolled in a Digital Systems course were randomly assigned to either a control group or an experimental group. This study utilized pre-test, post-test and postponed-test as the basis of data collection to measure the effectiveness of learning objects. The results show that the experimental group performance betters especially the low-achiever and medium-achiever sub-groups benefited more in increase and retention of knowledge and concept compare to the same sub-groups in the control group.
