method
Bonwell And Eison –Five Charateristics,

and more emphasis is placed on developing the skills
of the students.

7. • Active learning method can also overcome the
individualistic and compatitive nature of
education.

themselves and to all other members of the
group.
• Cooperative learning is the instructional use of
small groups so that students work together to
maximize their own and each others learning.

8. How to incorporate Active Learning into
classroom
• Think –pair-share: It is a simple activity you can
use in classroom. Give students time to think about a
topic, time, their neighbour for a short discussion, and
then share the rest of the class.

9. • Minute papers: provide students with the
opportunities to synthesize their knowledge and to
ask unanswered questions .
• Give students a few minutes at the end of the class
to answer following questions in writing: What was
the most important you learned today? What
important questions remain unanswered?
• Variations of these questions and the questions and
answers they generate, enhance your students
learning process and provide you with feedback on
students understanding of the subject material.

process information
