https://doi.org/10.54417/jaetm.v5i1.141Abstract
This study investigates the impact of various teaching strategies on enhancing self confidence among Electronics and Communication Engineering students. The implemented techniques such as teachers and peer feedback, extempore speech, and problem project-based learning were implemented. Pre- and post-surveys, observations, and interviews were used to gather the data. Initially students exhibited low self-confidence, shyness, and less expressiveness. After implementing the techniques, there was a significant improvement in classroom participation, willingness to engage and communication skills. The results suggest these interventions can positively influence student confidence and academic engagement
