DISTANCE TEACHING METHODS OF COMPUTER ENGINEERING STUDENTS: EXAMPLE ON THE TOPIC "CREating MOBILE APPLICATIONS"

Abstract

Educational procedures that are part of computer-aided laboratory study are considered to be one of the most difficult problems faced by universities. The subject of practical subjects at technical colleges is complex and mainly requires an explanation or demonstration in a computer laboratory. These science topics emphasize the use of observational skills, namely that students need to see the process in action and more closely connect theory to reality. However, student attitudes towards practical work are often negative as it has no effect in laboratory work and this may reflect the notion that there is no clear purpose for student practical work in the laboratory.
The main objective of this study is to examine the effectiveness of active learning activities in the field of "Mobile Application Development" based on the scientific program of the Computer Engineering Department of Google Classroom. In this research, a set of questionnaires was distributed to 100 students who enrolled in groups teaching "Mobile Application Development". The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used to organize the relationship between the factors identified in the data analysis and the effectiveness of the learning activities. The results show that the majority of students are happy with the Google Classroom tool provided in the classroom, and all prices are above average. The prices are especially good in areas such as convenient access, acceptable utility, communication and interaction, teaching, and student satisfaction with the learning activities in Google Classroom.
