Abstract
The research aimed to improve the students’ engagement on Fuel technology class 209331 by using various activities in the classroom and on internet. It included the field trip at Biogas production plant. The previous teaching consisted of 80% lecturing with 20% report. By using the same content by activity-based teaching, it was divided into 3 main sections. It consisted of group presentation, filed trip and CMU moodle on the internet. It could decrease the lecturing time to 20% with the activities to 80%. This followed teach less, learn more. The new teaching was evaluated by 4 sections: student participation, learning behavior, motivation and attitude using statistical analysis. Based on the highest score of 3 from assessment, the student participation and learning behaviour, they obtained the average scores of 2.08 and 2.38, espectively. Compared to the highest score of 5, they got the average score of 4.10 and 4.26 for the student motivation and attitude, respectively. The results showed that the activitied-based teaching- new teaching, it increased the students’ attention to class and their participation using E-mail and social networking to search the related knowledge. Additionally, the students accepted the different ideas of their classmate and learnt extensively from class presentation. The student motivation improved self-development and with the positive attitude to learn new activities. They finally become the active learners by the activity-based teaching to follow 21st Century skill.
