Enhancing Student Success in Engineering Programs through the Innovative Teaching Model
Enhancing Student Success in Engineering Programs through the Innovative Teaching Model

Summary/Abstract: The paper describes the research aimed at increasing the success rate of technical university students through a mathematics teaching model which uses digital technologies and emphasises the development of selected cross-cutting competencies. The innovative teaching model, whose impact was first verified in Mathematics I, offered in the first-year winter semester of bachelor's studies in 2022/2023, has yielded significant results. This paper presents the second part of the ongoing research, where the model's influence on students' Mathematics II and Physics success in the 2nd semester, was closely monitored. The findings, which indicate a statistically significant effect on students' achievements in Physics, underscore the importance of this research. Based on these results, the innovative model was further modified, extending it with recommendations for the broader application of math software in mathematics teaching and strategies to increase the success rate of women in technical universities. The extended model of teaching mathematics was then applied to teaching Mathematics I in the academic year 2023/2024, with a natural pedagogical experiment confirming its didactic effectiveness.
