    ABSTRACT
    Structural Analysis is a major subject in the Civil Engineering curriculum. At Curtin University of Technology Sarawak, this subject is taught in three different units, i.e. Structural Analysis 267, Structural Analysis 268 for second year students and Structural Analysis 365 in the third year. In this subject, students learn to analyze the responses and behavior of structures under different external and internal disturbances. Students are expected not only to gain the numerical skill in analyzing structures, but also to develop their understanding on its behavior. Traditionally, this subject is viewed as difficult subject by most of Civil Engineering students. Attempts have been made to make the units more interesting and engaging, one of them is using the Scaffolding Approach. This approach is applied for topics which involves rigid steps with unique solution to analyze structures, such as methods which fall into the category of Stiffness Method, i.e. Slope Deflection Method and Moment Distribution Method. In this scaffolding approach, after listening to the lecture on background theory, students are provided with a series of practice problems, each one comes with the steps, formulas, hints, tables etc needed to solve the problem. Gradually, with the growing confident to apply the method as a tool to analyze structures, the amount of help provided is reduced, until finally no help is provided at all. Using this method, only the main background of theory is needed to be lectured. The application of the method to analyze various problems is learned by students themselves by doing the series of problems engineered with gradually-reduced supports. Students' engagement is greatly enhanced, as they are so much involved in the learning process. This paper presents my reflection upon the approach and the series of practice problems that I have developed.
