Leung, Mei-Yung, Lu, Xinhong, Chen, Dongyu, Lu, Mei, Journal of Engineering Education

ABSTRACT

Teaching and learning contexts influence the learning process and determine the learning outcome or product. Teaching approaches may vary across different engineering and science courses and students. This study was aimed at understanding the differences in teaching approaches between two regions (Hong Kong and mainland China) and their relevant impacts on the learning process in construction engineering education. An exploratory survey was conducted on construction engineering students in China to investigate relationships between teaching approaches, learning approaches, and teaching satisfaction. Results indicate that the "transferring" and "shaping" teaching …
