Design of advanced active and autonomous learning system for computing education — A3 learning system

In this paper, we propose an advanced active autonomous learning system (A³ learning system), an educational system based on the use of information and communications technology devices. The A³ learning system comprises active learning (AL), project/problem-based learning (PBL), and mastery learning (ML). In concrete terms, foundational learning in the software/hardware information fields and PBL from the software design stage to the system implementation stage were conducted using AL and two methods, respectively, by individual students and a group. Furthermore, the Progress Report on Generic Skills test was conducted to evaluate the educational benefits of the proposed system.
