Abstract

Abstract— The main focus of this paper was to check the effectiveness of the Crossword Puzzle as a revision tool in technical education. This activity was implemented on a total of 70 students with 2nd year and 3rd year diplomas in automobile engineering. Pre-test and post-test analysis models are used to check the effectiveness of the Crossword Puzzle as a revision tool. The majority of students enjoyed this activity and responded to feedback questions in agreed and strongly agreed notes. Pre-test, post-test, and student feedback were conducted using Online Moodle software. Data collected were analyzed using MATLAB. Percentage improvement after every activity was calculated and found that student performance improved for both courses and all 11 units. The range of % improvement is from 10.92% in TMM unit-3 to 92.37% in ATS unit-1. Therefore, the Crossword Puzzle revision tool is recommended to be used in other courses in engineering education.
