The document discusses active learning techniques that involve students directly in the learning process rather than just passively receiving information. It describes active learning as any technique that engages students through activities, games, discussions, problem-solving, etc. Some examples provided include learning groups, learning buddies, debates, writing assignments, brainstorming, and games. The role of the teacher shifts from lecturer to facilitator. Research shows active learning leads to better student outcomes like increased understanding and retention of material.

1. Active Learning

2. “Tell me and I forget. Show me and I
remember. Involve me and I understand.”
- Chinese proverb

3. What is Active Learning?
• Active Learning happens
when students are given
time to work with the topic
by interacting, games,
activity, drawings, making
maps
• Students are no longer
receivers of information but
the work and understand to
generate knowledge.
• The role of the teacher shifts
to being a facilitator.

4. Importance of Active Learning?
• Research suggests that
active learning is an
exceptionally effective
teaching technique.
• Regardless of subject
matter, when compared to
traditional teaching methods
(lecture), students learn
more material, retain the
information longer, meet
other students, and enjoy
class more.
• Much more later…

5. Learning Groups
• Forming learning groups
is one of the most
powerful tools to
enhance learning
• Students get a chance to
speak, share personal
views, and develop the
skill of working with
others.
• Requires that group
members work together
to complete a given task.

6. Learning Buddy
• Students discuss th topic
with the neighbor, and
then share the results with
the rest of the class.
• Can be used in any size
classroom
• Very effective in very large
classes as well

7. Learning Assessment in the
Classroom
Students are given a few
minutes during, or at the
end, of a class to answer
questions such as: “What
was the most important
thing you learned today?”

8. Brainstorming
• Involve an entire class
in a discussion
• The instructor
introduces a topic or
problem and then asks
for student input.

9. Games
• Games increases
participation and
active learning.
• Games might include
, puzzles, mysteries,
group competitions,
and much more.

10. Debates
• Debates staged in class
can be effective tools for
encouraging students to
think about several sides
of an issue.
• Debates can be
particularly powerful
learning tools when
students have to switch
sides

11. Writing Assignments
• Many options for writing
activities including
reflections on material
learned.
• Provides valuable
feedback to instructor
and student
• Daily journals a popular
technique

12. There can be many more ways to
promote active learning. These are
some which I have been working with
