| Abstract: | Education about engineering sustainability in higher education has been actively promoted by many sectors of society due to the widespread interest in this topic. This article aims to investigate the feasibility of the emerging micro-video teaching method in engineering sustainability education and to further analyse the factors affecting students' use of the micro-video learning method. This experiment was based on four engineering students from Shandong University of Science and Technology as the experimental subjects and a 5-minute micro-video about a street canyon as the material for the experiment. By inviting engineering students to take tests before and after watching the video. The results were compared to study the improvement of students' learning through micro-video teaching. Then through semi-structured interviews and literature review, the TAM-based model was extended to include micro-video quality as an influencing factor. Finally, a TAM-based questionnaire was designed, and students were invited to fill in the questionnaire. Micro-video teaching led to a 20% increase in test scores compared to Test 1. The viability of the micro-video teaching method in engineering sustainability education was verified. At the same time, the content quality of the video and framework quality, perceived ease of use of the video and the usefulness of the video were all confirmed to influence students' use of micro-video. At the end of the thesis, some innovative ideas will be proposing for applying micro-video, combining online and offline learning. Relying on traditional books, micro-video can make book text 3-dimensional, promoting engineering accessibility. stereotyping and promoting the teaching of engineering sustainability education. |
