"The Train Eco Camp (TEC) is an innovative project fundamentally developed from the MAKAR application. It is designed to facilitate Teaching and Learning (T&L) sessions for courses that involve theory, facts, and memorization, such as Microeconomics, for students taking a Diploma in Accounting and a Diploma in Integrated Logistics Management at Kolej Professional MARA Bandar Penawar, Johor. Utilizing TEC as a teaching aid has alleviated students' challenges in understanding textbook material. This innovation enhances students' knowledge of the subject matter and significantly improves their understanding of course concepts, particularly in elucidating theories more effectively. TEC was developed in response to observations that students often lost concentration quickly and struggled with content comprehension due to limited English proficiency, leading to a reliance on lecturers for assistance. To measure the effectiveness of TEC, pre and post-tests were administered to students before and after its implementation. The findings of this study indicate that TEC not only improves student performance but also their English proficiency. Additionally, students' perception of TEC during the T&L process has been overwhelmingly positive. Consequently, educators are encouraged to adopt this method as an alternative approach to assist students, particularly those who struggle with comprehending theories effectively."
