The application of ranking task in mechanical engineering drawing teaching strategy

摘要

The teaching objective of mechanical engineering drawing is to cultivate the students’ ability of drawing, expressing and reading of engineering drawings. In this research, the Ranking Task is integrated in teaching strategy to improve students' understanding of confusable concepts and cultivate their divergent thinking. We introduce two types of ranking tasks: relative object dimension variation and relative spatial location variation, which cover most complex drawing contents in the lecture. Assessments were given to the freshman in Shenzhen Technology University to validate the effects of Ranking Tasks, the results showed students’ learning qualities have been greatly improved.
