Abstract

This research aims to analyze the learning effectiveness of using technology for engineering students when learning parabolic model. For engineering students, Parabolic can be learned in calculus II. To solve parabolic questions, a deep and good understanding of the concept is needed. An active learning condition using technology can help engineering students understand the parabolic concept and increase their learning interest. The learning concept that was used in this research is learning by doing. engineering students will not only listen to the teachers’ explanation, but they will also try to solve the problem using Hawgent. This research is done at one of university in Guilin, China. There is a total of 63 sample engineering students. This research result showed that engineering students’ learning interest and confidence in designing parabolic models increased and guided engineering students to achieve deep learning.
