  • Use Case studies that relate the topic to real life or former experience and so former learning.
  • Use Group work requiring students to discuss the material, so that peer checking and teaching takes place.
  • Learning involves ‘pattern making’, so use mind maps and summaries that point out the relation of the parts of a topic to the whole. Also point out the relation of today’s topic to other topics.
  • Teach skills in the context of the topic of your subject. Think of yourself as a skills teacher who uses content to teach the skills.
  • Stimulation increases the learning rate. So use rich multi-sensory resources, lively activities and generate a sense of fun where you can.

In schools they will usually do this in response to learning opportunities designed by their teacher.

    Active Learning Theory refers to the ability for learners to construct or built their own understanding of particular concepts or topics. It works by making meaning, enabling learners to develop understanding in different stages.

    Other examples of active learning techniques include role-playing, case studies, group projects, think-pair-share, peer teaching, debates, Just-in-Time Teaching, and short demonstrations followed by class discussion.

    Active learning builds both knowledge and understanding which students can then apply to new contexts and problems. This understanding and problem-solving approach is attractive to employers and universities.

    Constructivism is the theory that says learners construct knowledge rather than just passively take in information. As people experience the world and reflect upon those experiences, they build their own representations and incorporate new information into their pre-existing knowledge (schemas).

Constructivists argue that learning is a process of 'making meaning'.

    Active learning develops students’ autonomy and their ability to learn. Active learning gives students greater involvement and control over their learning.

    called constructivism, which emphasises the fact that

    learners construct or build their understanding.

    Active learning requires students to think hard and to

    practise using new knowledge and skills in order to develop

    long-term recall and a deeper understanding. This deeper

    understanding will also enable learners to connect different

    ideas together and to think creatively, once the initial

    knowledge base is secure.

Students can understand what they knew before and what kind of new information they gained. It increases a student's creative thinking skills. The more students are involved in learning activities , the more their knowledge and experience become deeper. Students also become collaborative and become ready to take challenges. ]]> 2022-02-09 14:33:21 UTC https://padlet.com/adnan20/vnoydzu81gpxm2c2/wish/2038022037 Benefits of active learning indranichowdhury https://padlet.com/adnan20/vnoydzu81gpxm2c2/wish/2038049100 Active learning is a process where students are involved directly in different tasks.

But in reality, active learning is quite freeing when we are facing many students. Stepping away from a lecture-style format allows the students to do more group work, and group work is a great way to engage students. 

    # 2- Sometimes teacher gives the handout, notes, or ready-projects into the hand of the students, thinking it might help them to progress. This is one of the common misconceptions because students then will confine themselves at a certain point. However, without doing this teachers should engage the students making them do the projects or handouts by themselves.  Thus they can learn through practice and moreover they can apply their knowledge further. Here teacher should play the role of a facilitator.

Teachers should be developing the curriculum in a way that should be student-oriented, engaging, and interactive. Learners will pose questions and they will solve the problem through group discussion, interacting with their peers. Teachers should shape learners to raise inquisition to build knowledge through speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Children innovate and process their ideas and knowledge on their own, they are not ready to fill up their heads with others’ ideas. So, a good teacher should think from their perspective. Being a teacher to understand children's reasoning to see things from their point of view. The teacher should not focus on measuring how well they can count numbers, spells, or solve problems as a way of grading their IQ, rather they should be more interested in the way fundamental concepts like the very idea of number, time, causality emerged in a naturalistic way. Active learning is a process of any approach to instruction where all students are asked to engage in the learning process. In this way of learning, students are passive recipients of knowledge. The teacher will divide students into small or large activities writing, talking, problem-solving, or reflective. This way of teaching method range from short, simple activities like journal writing, paired discussion, involved activities, or pedagogical framework like case studies, role-plays, and structured team-based learning. Successful active learning activities provide an opportunity for all students to think and engage with course material and practice skills for learning, applying, synthesizing, or summarizing that material. The teacher also needs to place some emphasis on students’ exploration of their own attitudes and values. In a successful classroom, a teacher should follow some specific techniques like giving students steps on a  process on the stripe of paper that are disorganized; asking them to reconstruct in a proper sequence. This approach of activity will strengthen students’ reasoning process and enable them to think critically. It will also test their mental model of the process. mental model of the process. rakibasultana https://padlet.com/adnan20/vnoydzu81gpxm2c2/wish/2043940914 2022-02-12 18:17:28 UTC https://padlet.com/adnan20/vnoydzu81gpxm2c2/wish/2043940914
