Motivation and learning habit generally play an important role in influential the results of a student's exam. This study aims to determine the relationship between motivations, learning habit and overall achievement in the second semester of Mechanical Engineering students at Terengganu Polytechnic. The study also aims to identify the differences in learning by gender at early achievement in the previous semester. To achieve this goal, the method of survey is conducted. Samples consisted of 196 students in second semester out of four programs in Mechanical Engineering Department. The study instrument used was Selmes Learning Inventory which presented four learning styles, namely deep-style, surface-style, well-organized style and diligent. The fifth style of learning, motivational style has been modified to measure the internal and external motivation. Data collected were analyzed descriptively and inferred using SPSS software. The results of the descriptive analysis found that students had high internal motivation as compared to external motivation as well as practicing surface style and deeper style than planned and diligent style. Inferential analysis results found that the overall achievement of the second semesters had a relationship with the in-depth learning style, effort and planning. There is a significant relationship between deep learning style and internal motivation. There was no significant difference in learning habit by gender and early achievement. The implication of this study is that motivation plays an important role in determining the choice of learning methods practiced by the students.

The era of “Internet + education” has caused reforms in teaching ideas, teaching modes, and learning styles. The emergence of micro-course technology provides new strategies for integrating learning styles. Task-driven digital mapping teaching, known as traditional classroom organization, has poor teaching effect due to single learning style and strategy. A new teaching mode for digital mapping was constructed in this study based on micro-course technology by combining interactive micro-course technology and digital mapping teaching to adapt to the demands of modern teaching. This teaching mode mainly included four modules, namely, micro-courseware, micro-video, micro-exercise, and micro-examination. It realized the hierarchical teaching of knowledge points in digital mapping course, simplification of basic principles, simulation of engineering cases, and self-evaluation of learning outcomes. The teaching mode was applied to 114 students from the Mapping Engineering Department of Henan University of Urban Construction. Results indicate that the proposed teaching mode based on interactive micro-course technology promoting the independent after-class learning of the students, stimulating their learning enthusiasm, enhancing their practical abilities of the students, and improving the effect of teaching. This mode of teaching provides a new concept for the teaching mode reform of other courses in mapping engineering.

Teaching materials are a set of tools or facilities that contain materials, methods and evaluations used by teachers or lecturers in learning. So far, the teaching materials released by several developers have rarely been in accordance with the needs of Mechanical Engineering students, where some of the teaching materials available still use general English. In this study, in order to compile an appropriate teaching material, researchers have conducted a needs analysis. Needs analysis is a fundamental aspect for English language lecturers for specific purposes (ESP) in identifying information or the main needs of students and investigating areas of student shortages. In line with this statement, this research is a case study design that aims to determine the needs of mechanical engineering students in learning English through Padlet at the Faculty of Engineering in the 2019-2020 academic year. The data in this study were collected from researcher observations, questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with 40 students and two English language lecturers in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The results revealed that speaking and writing are the main focus of English skills in the Mechanical Engineering department and listening along with reading are the next English skills needed than others.

The problem in this study is that students are less interested in learning and seen from the daily results obtained from SMAW subject teachers that the learning outcomes of SMAW subjects in the Welding Engineering department are still low. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a relationship between interest in learning and learning outcomes in SMAW subjects. This type of research is descriptive correlational research. The sample stated in this study were all students of class XI of the Welding Engineering Department who participated in the 48 Solid Metal Arc Welding subjects. The results of the study revealed a contribution of a positive relationship between interest in learning with student learning outcomes in the field of study SMAW Class XI Welding Engineering students of SMK Negeri 1 West Sumatra 2018/2019 learning year. This gives the meaning of the higher interest in learning, the higher learning outcomes of SMAW learning outcomes.

This paper presents a critical review and synthesis of research literature in higher education exploring teachers' conceptions of blended learning and their approaches to both design and teaching. Definitions of blended learning and conceptual frameworks are considered first. Attention is given to Picciano's Blending with Purpose Multimodal framework. This paper builds upon previous research on blended learning and conceptual framework by Picciano by exploring how objectives from Picciano's framework affect teachers' approaches to both design and teaching in face-to-face and online settings. Research results suggest that teachers use multiple approaches including face-to-face methods and online technologies that address the learning needs of a variety of students from different generations, personality types and learning styles.

The evaluation was carried out to examine the distribution of learning styles (discussed in Chapter 2) of the third year undergraduate engineering students and suggest effective problem solving approaches that could increase the motivation and understanding of slow learners at UNITEN. For this study, a sample target population of 60 third year undergraduate engineering students who had taken the Engineering Mechanics subject was tested. These students were selected based on their second year grade point average (GPA) of less than 2.5 as this study emphasizes on slow learners.
