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.
