Abstract

The case study described in this paper was a formative evaluation on the adapted schema training modules and materials. The study was intended to gather feedback and suggestions from the intended audience in order to revise the training modules. The study also assessed students' overall experiences and performance regarding the tryout of the modules. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected from the participants. Based on the case of four participants, (1) the training materials were well adapted for undergraduate engineering students; (2) the training models were effective, (3) the training modules would be more effective for students with less coursework in the engineering subjects covered by the modules.
