Du, Xiangyun; Lundberg, Adrian; Ayari, Mohamed A.; Naji, Khalid K.; Hawari, Alaa – Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
Background: Few studies have reported how students enact learner agency in a team setting or examined what elements of team settings students perceive as more supportive of their learning in problem- and project-based learning (PBL) processes. Purpose: This study explores how engineering students perceive their enactment of learner agency,…

Jiang, Dan; Dahl, Bettina; Du, Xiangyun – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
This study explores how engineering students develop learner agency in an intercultural PBL (problem- and project-based learning) environment, along with the factors that affect their development. Theoretically, learner agency is framed within three interrelated dimensions: intrapersonal, behavioural, and environmental. A narrative inquiry…

Lyngdorf, Niels Erik Ruan; Du, Xiangyun; Lundberg, Adrian – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Problem-based learning (PBL) has been implemented with different levels of success in first-year engineering education in response to the rapidly growing requirements for a higher degree of learner agency in graduates. This study is contextualised in a systemic problem-based learning environment and explores the sources of first-year engineering…

Chen, Juebei; Kolmos, Anette; Du, Xiangyun – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2021
During the last 40 years, problem- and project-based learning (PBL) has been widely adopted in engineering education because of its expected effectiveness in developing students' professional knowledge and transferable skills. With a growing number of PBL researches and practices in engineering education, systematic or meta-analysis reviews were…

Jiang, Dan; Dahl, Bettina; Chen, Juebei; Du, Xiangyun – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2023
Contribution: This study explores the elements engineering students perceive as important for developing their learner agency in the context of intercultural project-based learning (PBL) teams. Background: The concept of learner agency has recently gained prominence due to its relevance for student-centeredness, autonomy, self-regulation, and…

Du, Xiangyun; Naji, Khalid Kamal – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2021
This study explores engineering students' enactment of collective agency and perceptions of professional identity. Empirical data were drawn from observation and group interviews with 30 engineering students in a civil engineering course using a problem and project-based learning (PBL) approach. Using the technique of quantifying qualitative data,…

Naji, Khalid Kamal; Ebead, Usama; Al-Ali, Abdulla Khalid; Du, Xiangyun – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
Background: While improved student engagement has been highlighted as an essential goal and a major outcome of Problem and Project-Based learning (PBL), little empirical evidence has been provided regarding types and forms of student engagement. Material and method: The study explored forms of student engagement in PBL settings, drawing on…

Du, Xiangyun; Ebead, Usama; Sabah, Saed; Ma, Jianping; Naji, Khalid Kamal – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2019
Background: This study investigated the development of engineering students' approaches to learning and views on collaboration in a PBL environment. Material and methods: An explanatory mixed research approach was employed with participants from four PBL-implementing engineering courses in Qatar and China. 197 students responded to two surveys,…

Naji, Khalid Kamal; Du, Xiangyun; Tarlochan, Faris; Ebead, Usama; Hasan, Mahmood A.; Al-Ali, Abdulla Khalid – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
This study examined engineering students' initial readiness to transition to emergency online learning in response to COVID-19 in Qatar. A theoretical framework is proposed for understanding the factors influencing students' readiness for change. Sequential explanatory mixed-method research was conducted, with 140 participants completing an online…

Du, Xiangyun; Kolmos, Anette – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2009
This paper discusses how to increase the diversity of engineering education by making it more relevant and gainful for all students, as well as more attractive to women. Questions were raised whether, and in which ways the problem-based and project-based learning (PBL) method is apt for increasing gender diversity from both the quality and the…
