| 总结: | The learning community approach offers a promising way to facilitate the
learning process of postgraduate learners in their final year project course at
the Open University Malaysia. This is important because the final project
requires a substantial amount of commitment and needs to be carried out
independently. Moreover, students often experience challenges that delay or
prevent them from completing their projects. Therefore, integrating a learning
community into the course to address administrative or academic matters with
peers and faculty members assists progression and completion. The purpose
of this study was to gain insight into the learning community used by
postgraduate learners for the final year project course. A survey was
administered to 52 postgraduate learners and observation of the community
site was conducted. The results were positive and encouraging, especially
when learners tried to make sense of the learning community in order to be
connected and motivated, to receive continuous support and to learn the
required knowledge for the course. (Abstract by author) |
