Abstract

In our previous work, it was presented an interactive learning process in order to increase the students learning motivation and the self-learning time. We proposed an Active Learning System (ALS) for student’s self-learning. For low and middle level class, we showed that the students could keep high concentration by using traditional ALS. However, for high level class, many student could not keep their concentration, because of they have a lot of question that they did not understand. In this paper, to solve this problem, we propose a method of group discussion to deal with students’ questions for high level class. We also present the performance evaluation of ALS for high level class. The evaluation results show that when the lecture use proposed ALS for high level class, the average dropping out was half compared with the conventional ALS. Also, the method of group discussion increases the students’ concentration for high level class.
