Para-González, L.; Cubillas-Para, C.; Mascaraque-Ramírez, C. – Studies in Higher Education, 2023
Prior research has suggested that Project Based Learning (PBL) may affect students' performance. Nevertheless, there has been a lack of empirical studies that have examined these relationships specially, in Bachelor's Degrees and Master's degrees. This research empirically examines whether PBL improves Own apprenticeship abilities' development as…

Han, Peng-Fei; Zhao, Feng-Kui; Zhao, Gang – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2022
Mechanical assembly courses are widely set up for mechanical and vehicle engineering majors. Teaching in these classes is traditionally presented in the form of 2-D lectures, which are ineffective for students to understand complex 3-D information. The study presented in this article aimed to investigate whether augmented reality (AR) could…
