The instructional approach embedded is the constructivism theory of learning through guided approach. There were 46 students involved in the study at the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, KUKTEM and they were assigned into two groups i.e. experimental group who use LISNoS and control group who follow traditional teaching method.

These two types of questionnaire were meant to observe students' opinion quantitatively and qualitatively towards the use of LISNoS in the teaching and learning process. Students' achievement in the Integration Test was analyzed using T Test. Data from closed-ended questionnaire was analyzed using mean analysis whilst the data from the open-ended questionnaire was meant to obtain students' opinions subjectively.

This finding also showed that experimental group students acquired good procedural skills and transfer skills and their opinions towards the use of LISNoS were positive and encouraging. In conclusion, the LISNoS has a potential in enhancing students' performance in learning Integration but nevertheless, there is still a lot room for improvements in the learning module and the research may further be extended to other topics and study on the acquisition of problem solving skills based on Polya model. 2006 Research Report NonPeerReviewed pdf en http://umpir.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/36524/1/Student-centered%20learning%20strategy.wm.pdf Ab Hamid, M.
