The Comparison between Project Based Learning, Micro Learning and Traditional Learning in Teaching Advanced Digital Electronics Subject through Designing CPU
Ismail Said [2] | Diaeddeen ELmezoghi [2]
Abstract: This study has been conducted for helping students comprehend and initiate complicated projects using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA board) in three learning methods , Project Based Learning (PBL), Micro-learning (ML) Traditional learning. in these methods we work to help students accomplish multifaceted projects within a tight deadline. The main objective of the current study is investigation of the real-time impact of applying the mentioned technical education technologies (PBL and ML) for advanced digital electronics subject in comparison with the traditional learning process. It has been accomplished through: a) simultaneously using ML and FPGA techniques (Micro-Learning Process), b) PBL and FPGA techniques (Project-Based Learning Process) and c) traditional teaching (Traditional Learning). Efforts were made to find the best option that assures better learners' performance, deeper knowledge, and handles design complexity for learners that brings students closer to practical CPU design through instructional mechanism, attractive examples and successful project accomplishments. It also makes the learning process substantially quicker, effective, confidence-boosting and performance-enhancing. In the nutshell, this study tested three educational models for imparting CPU design training through FPGA, project-based learning, and micro-learning. The central processing unit (CPU) design is based VHSIC (Very high-speed integrated circuit), which is used for VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) that helps to accomplish complex projects by applying both PBL and ML methods.
