Abstract

This qualitative study investigated the language learning strategies adopted by students whom developed higher order thinking skills (HOTS) via Cooperative Problem- based learning (CPBL) activities in the writing class. The objective of the study is to investigate how language learning strategies in writing lessons adopted by the students develop their higher order thinking skills in the CPBL ESL writing classroom. This study further explored the language learning strategies that students adopted in order to complete writing tasks which require them to exercise their higher order thinking skills. The study was conducted on 13 secondary level form 4 students from an urban school where the collection of data was via structured reflective journal and teacher interviews. The study revealed that the language learning strategies in writing that developed higher order thinking skills within the students were cognitive and compensation strategies while the indirect strategies are cognitive and social strategies. These language learning strategies in writing developed the higher order thinking skills of analysing, evaluating and creating. This study also provided insights on the strategies that English teachers should focus on in the writing classroom via implementation of problem based cooperative learning activities to develop students higher order thinking skills among their students.

Abstract

The field of engineering technology has been historically dominated by male students, resulting in a significant gender disparity in many countries. Female students pursuing engineering technology courses face unique challenges that can hinder their success and participation in the field. This research aims to explore the challenges faced by female students in engineering technology courses and present mitigating strategies to address the issues. A combination of basic quantitative survey was undertaken on a sampling of third year female students at a private engineering technology university. A qualitative interview was also conducted on a senior female academic staff who had extensive work experience in the field prior to become an academic. This served as a triangulation to the responses obtained from the surveyed respondents. Findings from the study shows that the challenges faced by the female students in engineering technology courses can be categorized into three main areas namely social and cultural barriers, academic obstacles, and lack of representation and support. As a whole, the female students have a positive perception on engineering technology as a tertiary study option and also as a career choice that they will continue to pursue. In addressing the challenges faced by female students in engineering technology courses, a multi-faceted approach is needed. The approach must also addressing social and cultural barriers and provide adequate academic support to empowers female students to thrive in engineering technology and contribute to the nation.
