This study discusses students' satisfaction with and acceptance of a project-based course integrated with scaffolding theory and flipped teaching approaches. This study utilized a case study, participants were 86 students from two-year and four-year programs who took the ''Introduction to Project Production'' course. The course incorporated diverse scaffolding support from fellow students, instructors, and industrial experts to enable knowledge integration. The course also employed flipped teaching approaches, such as line@ and e-learning platforms, to upload videos and relevant materials for lesson preview and review, conduct group discussions, and record learning logs. At the end of the semester, each group of students presented their project outcome in English by using posters. The primary quantitative analysis entailed two questionnaires compiled by the instructor. They were administered in the first and second semester, respectively, to survey the students' satisfaction with the scaffolding theory, flipped teaching approaches, instructors' professional competency, and the course. Additionally, qualitative in-depth interview, interpretation of learning logs, and classroom observation were used to better understand the students' learning conditions. The results indicated that the students' satisfaction toward the course was significantly and positively associated with the scaffolding theory, flipped teaching approaches, and the instructors' professional competency. The qualitative analysis revealed that all the students were satisfied with the scaffolding theory, flipped teaching approaches, the instructor's professional competency, group learning, as well as indication the benefits to their future career brought from this course. Additionally, students in the two-year program exhibited higher acceptance of the course than did students in the four-year program. The results of this study may serve as a reference for other university instructors who are willing to change their method while teaching projectbased courses. |
