Education in multicultural environments poses challenges for both educators and students. Similarly to other subjects, software engineeringteaching is faced with difficulties in the need to adapt the teaching style and contents to the various cultural backgrounds of the students. Based on a small-scale study, this paper attempts to highlight perspectives of students belonging to various cultural backgrounds on software engineering, as well as their views on the practicalities of software development.

Problem solving is an important skill for engineering graduates to develop. However, in most traditional engineering classrooms, students practice solving well structured problems which is not sufficient because engineers need to be able to solve real world problems which are ill structured. Therefore it is important for engineering students to be trained in ill-structured problem solving. In this paper, we present a new teaching-learning strategy for ill-structured problem solving based on productive failure and instructor prompts. Students do unguided in-class exploration of engineering problems in groups, after which they receive instruction on problem solving strategies. We conducted a pilot study by incorporating our teaching-learning strategy in a senior electrical engineering course. We found that students developed several ill-structured problem solving skills and showed a range of problem solving behaviors and heuristics.

In the 21st Century, many researchers realized the importance of computing and suggested developments in learningcomputing. Therefore, there is a need to design a new 'integrated pedagogy' for learningcomputing to align with the Malaysian Education Blueprint. This will produce future generations that are well-equipped in terms of knowledge and skills. This paper aims to identify computing pedagogy using the Flipped Classroom Model (FCM) in the Malaysian Education setting because the FCM transforms traditional teaching and learning and maximizes the use of technology. Literature reviews and interviews with three computing teachers were carried out to obtain opinions on using the FCM. The literature reviews and teachers' responses identified that the FCM will benefit the students and teachers. The overall findings suggested that the FCM may be implemented in computing subjects and taking into considerations other factors like students' motivation, for active learning or teacher-centered perceptions in implementing FCM.

With the increasing importance of STEM education and the popularity of microblogging, it becomes important to study the nature of the social network within STEM education in order to observe how members of that community work together. A social network analysis (SNA) was conducted to examine the nature of the STEM education community and its key players on Twitter. The findings from the SNA will show: categories of the key players in this social network, to what extent a community exists on the Twitter platform, and the types of interactions that users contribute to the community, and kinds of information being discussed.

This paper presents four game-based learning designs with focus on situated development of students' creativity and active participation in the learning process. Presented cases are based on role-play, interdisciplinary team work and co-creation, using games and gamification as additional motivation to engage students in project and problem based learning. The reported case studies are from formal learning settings at the university from bachelor and master level and non-formal learning setting with open access to everyone.

Designing an educational online learning environment requires proper planning as it will influence students' learning experiences. For the purpose of developing a computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environment, the development process should be properly designed to meet the objectives of learning. In this research, the design of a CSCL environment is explained using the Three-phase Development Model (3PD) which serves as a guideline for developing a functional learning environment. This study attempts at promoting interaction in CSCL by designing interaction during the development process of the CSCL environment rather than scaffolding interaction during the online learning process.

A supportive environment is one of the key factors that contribute to an effective learning process. This study aims to determine the factors that help build a supportive learning environment in order to keep the student engaged in academic and other activities of the institute/university. The paper reviews various criteria that help in the creation of such an environment for students. Based on the readings, the author has developed a framework encompassing the main elements of a supportive learning environment. A questionnaire was administered to students from six institutes. It was found that instructional, peer, institutional, and technical support play a key role in the creation of a supportive environment for the student. The results of this study can be used by educationists and management committees of universities/institutes to provide an effective learning environment for the students.
