Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to determine the way students understand course content by adopting quizzes, worksheets, and visual experiences at a technical college. In this paper, we will report results taken from three courses : Electrical Circuit, Numerical Analysis, and the Law of Electrical Magnetic Wave. In passive lecture type classes and in assesment centered classes, students' knowledge tends to be transient and students can not apply their knowledge. To avoid such problems, students are often given quizzes in class and teachers find these useful. In this paper, we will attempt to explore the learning environment through the idea of educational reform. The students learned more effectively through visual experiences. For example, students made their own worksheets, which consist of handouts and assignments. Students also made trial products of electrical circuits and cards of the law of electrical magnetic wave. We have been trying to understand the adequacy of students' comprehension level and teaching materials, and to discover problems in order to make future classes better. From the results of our study, we will report how students develop their understanding visually and numerically. In addition, we will report on the attitudes of instructors who are teaching the classes.
