Abstract
In order to enhance students' problem-solving competences it is necessary to develop their technical skill as well as their soft skills such as business, communication and team working. In this paper, we introduce an Activity-Led Learning (ALL) approach and analyze its impact on students' engagement (time-on-task), satisfaction and group performance. We also propose a Group Performance Model (GPM) in order to deploy ALL successfully in the master-level module, Network Planning and Management. The model facilitates group formation and allows group integration and cooperation by developing `common ground' amongst group members. This paper also presents students evaluation from two perspectives; students direct feedback on the module and indirect measures based on common ground and Task Performance Time (TPT) analysis.
