Details ofthe thinking skills and heuristics were adapted from Wales et al., Woods et al., as well as otherauthors. The unique aspect of our work is presenting a model that is specifically designed forteaching thinking skills in the context of an engineering science course.Basic PDM processThe basic PDM process, summarized in Table 1, is comprised of seven elements.

The findings reveal that students have a significantpreference for hands-on and virtual labs. Because the hands-on lab can bring tangibleproblem-solving learning processes compared to the remote and virtual ones.However, students agreed with the remote and virtual labs’ flexible access andunlimited attempts, especially for those students who need more individual study andlive very far from physical labs, such as during the COVID. Specifically, this presentstudy agrees with Jahnke et al.'s (2023) study

MARKING – DOES IT REALLY IMPROVE STUDENT LEARNING?AbstractThe paper reports on an initiative which aims to improve student achievement by boostingtutorial engagement via the introduction of peer-marked assignments. A compulsory first-year course, perceived as a difficult, „gatekeeper‟ course, was chosen for evaluation of theinitiative. Lack of student engagement in tutorials was perceived by the lecturers as asignificant barrier to improved student achievement. To encourage tutorial attendance andparticipation, students received a small number of marks for doing a (two-weekly) tutorialassignment, and marking another‟s, under the guidance of an academic staff member.Attendance at tutorial sessions consequently improved
