Impact of Experimental Centric Pedagogy on Learning Outcomes: A Comparative Trend Analysis in Industrial Engineering and Biology

Presented at Engineering education issues relevant to agricultural, biological and ecological engineering-Part 2

Experimental Centric Pedagogy (ECP) is a teaching strategy that emphasizes experiential learning through hands-on activities. It can be considered a teaching concept that encourages students to learn by doing. This study investigates the influence of ECP across two distinct STEM disciplines, Industrial Engineering and Biology, since its inception in 2019. The study compares the learning outcomes of students who participated in ECP with those who did not, using various measures of engagement, motivation, cognitive processes, and collaborative learning experiences. Through several data collection methods and statistical analysis, this study brings to light the impact of ECP on these two disciplines. The study contributes to the current understanding of the efficacy of ECP in enhancing learning outcomes. It provides valuable insights for educators and curriculum designers seeking to implement effective pedagogical strategies in STEM education. The implications of this study extend beyond Industrial Engineering and Biology, giving a headstart for the widespread adoption of ECP in STEM education.
