Plan for specific learning outcomesAt the early stage of course planning and designing, the following questions were asked: • What should be the teaching goals and learning outcomes of this course? • What are the components that should be included/covered in the curriculum to achieve these goals/outcomes? • What are the best teaching approaches to achieve these goals/outcomes?The exploration started with the first question. Since the new course is planned to helpstudents develop a practical and technical understanding of concepts related to humanfactors in fire protection, in course planning stage, an official document from SFPE(Society of Fire Protection Engineer), “Draft of the SFPE Guide to Human

These researchers concluded that the making of asupport sheet is beneficial if the student does not become dependent on it, that is, if the studentknows they will not use it during the exam, they perform just as well, if not better than if thesupport sheet was not made. This suggests that the act of making a support sheet is beneficial toexam performance. During

These preparations are in two sets, preparation for the course materials andadapting the instructor’s role in the classroom. As indicated in Fig. 2, traditional lecturing uses inclass time for knowledge delivery and after class time for practice, while flipped classroom usespre-class time for students to learn fundamental knowledge and in class time for active learning.By comparing the two teaching strategies, a rough action plan on

Included in this measure is astudent’s level of organization, scheduling, and planning. Time management can range fromsetting aside a night for studying to weekly and monthly scheduling.

avoided by students. Turing Machines are mathematical models ofcomputation, which present some special challenges in teaching-learning environments, becausein addition to visual representations, some coded representations are also needed for importanttasks such as proofs [6, 13, 37]. Some of the multiple representations of Turing Machines are not asintuitive as visual representations and they involve additional work [6, 14]. Engaging students withmultiple representations of Turing Machines can be planned in a way that provides an initialintuitive understanding of the concepts through visual representation, and then more complexideas can be built with other representations. That is, complex concepts need to be developed ina progressive manner
