Abstract


Teaching style becomes more challenging especially during Movement Control Order (MCO) due to Covid-19 pandemic. Thus, online learning be one of the new teaching styles used during MCO at all educations level. Therefore, to study the effectiveness of this style, this paper is conduct to explore the effect of the new teaching style on the engineering student’s performance by determine the difference of overall scores between batches for each program in Vector Calculus (VC) course with ordinary and new teaching style at Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment (FKAB), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). Nonparametric test is used as Mann Whitney to analyze the difference of the teaching style. The results show that the achievement of students in VC course could be significantly distinguished by two batches of students with different teaching and assessment modes. In addition, JKKP program also shows there is no significant difference in overall scores between batches with different teaching styles.
