Students' Perceptions on Teaching and Learning of Integral Calculus through e-Integral Map

Non-linear learning technique called as mind mapping has recently emerged in higher education. With the help of information computer and technology, this study proposes the use of mind mapping technique in the development of e-Integral Map to assist students to think critically and link information in the teaching and learning of integration. This study aims to evaluate the students' perceptions on e-Integral Map web-based instruction by using a survey, to the selected Diploma of Chemical Engineering and Electrical Engineering respondents from UiTM Sarawak Campus. All respondents had used e-Integral Map in their study and had applied it through Integral Calculus courses. All the respondents completed the online survey form and submitted their feedback online. From the survey results, it was shown that all three aspects in web-based contents: the content, the instructional and the technical of e-Integral Map, were satisfactory. Majority of the respondents were positive on the use of e-Integral Map in assisting them to learn and solve Integral Calculus problems. In addition, the findings showed that the students' first experience on learning Integral Calculus with this technique provides the reason for such technique to be used in other topics of calculus education.
