Abstract

In our previous work, we presented an interactive learning process in order to increase the students learning motivation and the self-learning time. We proposed an Active Learning System (ALS) for student’s self-learning. We evaluated the proposed system for each level (low, middle and high level) class and checked the student concentration using our proposed ALS. We found that for a difficult subject, there are only few high level students. The other students are middle or low level students. However, it is important that when using ALS all students should keep their learning motivation. In this paper, we described the results of the performance evaluations of the proposed ALS for a difficult subject. The evaluation results show that the ALS increased the learning efficiently of the students for the difficult subject.
