Improvement Of CDIO Skills By Using Inquiry Learning

Although the CDIO tenet is to make students to get a deeper theoretical knowledge and better CDIO skills, the effectiveness of this pedagogy is challenged by teaching methods. This study investigated how CDIO skills of students were improved in “Civil Engineering Materials” (CEM) course by using a new “Three stage learning method” which was built on the basis of inquiry learning pedagogy. The students’ assessment and their awards were displayed. It can be seen that students were interested in this new learning method, and the ability, knowledge and personality of the students were effectively enhanced through such course reform.
