This study discusses the implementation of Problem Based Learning (PBL) in teaching and learning the Malaysian Nationhood course at Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM). This course is a core course and should be taken as a prerequisite in the process of graduation. However, the significant challenge faced by instructors of the course is the course itself which is tedious and uninteresting. The number of students in classrooms and the traditional teaching approach caused students to feel bored and uninterested. PBL is a Student-Centered Learning (SCL) based model and it is able to produce a conducive learning environment. Aware of the constraints facing in delivering this course, the PBL model is applied to increase students’ interests and enhance the level of students’ achievement for this course. This study is a simple descriptive-analytical approach using information gathering through observation, SCL-focused activities and focuses group discussion. The study found that the method of SCL is able to increase the interest and level of achievement of the students in the Malaysian Nationhood course at UUM.

<p><em>Students at higher education institutions are definitely adults who should be encouraged and given motivation </em><em>to be</em><em> the 'adult' learners. Each student has diverse characteristics that will make them ultimately bring different perspectives to the class (different types of backgrounds, learning styles, experiences, and aspirations). Therefore, educators are no longer possible to use conventional methods in cultivating the values to students to get them to be adult learners. The psychological condition of adults will encourage the teaching and learning process to be more directed to the Student-Centered Learning. This method is built on the principles of active learning constructive, some social activity, mental reflection, implementation of prior knowledge, and so forth. The learning process is a reflection cycle (about what happened), the idea of a thing (or something that needs to be tested), action (trial to do something), and outcomes (concrete experience). Problem-Based Learning method is an option that can be used to support the activities of Student-Centered Learning for the use of problems in the learning process can trigger the curiosity of students that will lead them to be able to solve their own problems by giving a definition of a certain problem and specify the collected information. In this way, students will try to associate the information they have and be able to specify the topics they will learn more.</em></p>

Currently the Problem Based Learning (PBL) and Student Centered Learning (SCL) learning models are starting to be applied in universities with the aim of involving students actively in learning, one of which are Medical students of the UNS FK. One method of these learnings is Small Group Discussion (SGD). This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the SGD learning method that has been applied to Medical students of the UNS FK. The method used in this research is qualitative method. The result was found that the SGD learning method that had been applied was still less effective, but it was more effective compared to conventional learning methods. Therefore, it is necessary to make some improvements to this learning method so that it is more effective and the goal can be achieved.

The research objective is to describe the activities of students during the learning process that uses the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach based on Jelajah Alam Sekitar (JAS) and determine students' responses to learning using the JAS-based CTL approach. Research is a descriptive quantitative research that uses survey methods and literature studies. The learning activities with CTL approach based on the Jelajah Alam Sekitar (JAS) in science or IPA  is a group discussion, direct observation, practicum, game, and final/ test. Where through these activities in accordance with the principles of the JAS approach which consists of exploration, constructivism, the scientific process, learing community, bioedutainment and authentic assessment. So that the learning process based on Student Centered Learning is no longer Teacher Centered Learning which can make students 'scientific skills honed. Students' responses to learning with the CTL approach based on Jelajah Alam Sekitar (JAS) is 89% in the good category (interest and very interest).

The characteristics of the direct education system that depends on the ability of instructors reflection, only provide little opportunity for students to be actively involved in the learning process. This contrasts with the characteristics of the Software Modeling course which emphasizes student-centered learning. The application of direct learning models in the Modeling Software course causes learning to be ineffective, and students cannot reach the minimum competency standards planned in the learning design. This paper proposes a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model that is integrated in the Learning Modeling Software design on three elements of the teaching system, namely: Curriculum elements, emphasizing the use of problems as the starting point of student learning; Group elements, highlighting the collaboration system; and student elements, emphasizing the Student-Directed-Learning (SDL) system. The application of the PBL model to the three elements in the learning system is effective in increasing the level of student mastery of a particular topic. However, further discussion regarding: 1) how many guidelines are needed in PBL; 2) potential students experience confusion if there is not enough initial learning framework; 3) students who do not have relevant and adequate initial knowledge, tend to experience underdevelopment are still needed to find PBL models that are truly effective in learning the field of Software Engineering.

It is argued that the digital technology has made possible the vast range of applications and media forms including virtual reality, digital special effects, digital film, digital television, electronic music, computer games, multimedia, the Internet, the World Wide Web, digital telephony and so on [8]. Digital transformation has been particularly influential in new directions of society.Providing schools with digital technology promises a high return on investment. The presence of computers and Internet access raises technology literacy and skills, better preparing the future generations to participate in the information society [12]. To this end, schools represent ideal access points because they cover a large part of the population, especially in developing countries. Starting from 1990s, many educators have been realised the potential of Internet for educational purposes and began to introduce it into classrooms. According to [10] the popularity of web-based teaching and learning lies in the strengths of its distributed nature and the case of its browsing facility. Both the use of digital technology and increased interest in student-centered learning may lead to a significant change of the teacher’s role, as well as the recognition of the active role of the learner in the learning process.

ABSTRACT Learning is a complex construct that involves several factors, mainly the interaction between teachers and students in the process of teaching and learning. Understanding how students learn and which factors influence academic performance is essential information for lesson planning and evaluation, in addition to allowing a better use of students’ learning potential and outcomes. The ability to constructively modify one’s behavior depends on how well we combine our experiences, reflections, conceptualizations, and planning to make improvements. This seems particularly relevant in medical education, where students are expected to retain, recall, and apply vast amounts of information assimilated throughout their training period. Over the years, there has being a gradual shift in medical education from a passive learning approach to an active learning approach. To support the learning environment, educators need to be aware of the different learning styles of their students to effectively tailor instructional strategies and methods to cater to students’ learning needs. However, the space for reflection on the process of teaching is still incipient in higher-education institutions in Brazil. The present article proposes a critical review of the importance of identifying students’ learning styles in undergraduate medical education. Different models exist for assessing learning styles. Different styles can coexist in equilibrium (multimodal style) or predominate (unimodal style) in the same individual. Assessing students’ learning styles can be a useful tool in education, once it is possible to analyze with what kind of learning students can better develop themselves, improving their knowledge and influencing positively in the process of learning. Over the last century, medical education experienced challenges to improve the learning process and curricular reform. Also, this has resulted in crucial changes in the field of medical education, with a shift from a teacher centered and subject based teaching to the use of interactive, problem based, student centered learning.

The integration of Internet and education has changed students’ learning environment and affected their learning behavior, which poses a greater challenge to the traditional teaching mode. Through the SWOT analysis of the “student centered” multi-element blended teaching mode in the era of “Internet + education”, it is concluded that the adaptability of learners themselves and the mismatch between teachers’ educational ideas and this teaching model delay the development of education to a certain extent. Some suggestions are put forward, such as strengthening the supervision and guidance, implementing the teaching and learning model scientifically, improving teachers’ ideology and comprehensive quality, and making full use of the characteristics of Internet opening, sharing and collaboration to construct the public service system and platform of national educational resources.
