2. Definition:
This implies that for learning
to take place, the student must be
focus or engaged directly with the
activity or task where he may
draw knowledge, concepts,
principles, attitudes, skills or
habits.
3. Views:
This is in consonance with the principle of
self-activity by Froebel which states that
learning is the result of the activity of the
child himself.
The student should take an active role in
the search of knowledge. She should not be
made to watch or to observe what is
happening. He should contribute his ideas
or concepts to solve issues.
4. In the same manner as when the
student wants to learn to work on
the computer, he should actually
have hands on activity in its
operations.
One cannot learn to solve
mathematical problems unless he
tries to undergo the process by
himself.
5. With educational technology,
students can be given various
materials from realia to contrived
experiences; from pictures to
worksheets; projectors and computers
and software to keep them engage and
active in the quest for knowledge.
The various modalities for learning
can be utilized at the same time with
concrete experiences provided by the
various media of instruction.
6. Other views:
Students are involved in more
than listening.
Less emphasis is place in
transmitting information and more
on developing student’s skills.
7. Students are involved in higher-
order thinking (analysis, synthesis,
evaluation).
Students are engaged in activities
ex. Reading, discussing, writing
Teachers place greater emphasis
on students exploration of their own
attitudes and values.
