Active learning is a form of learning in which teaching strives to involve students in the learning process more directly than in other methods
The term active learning "was introduced by the English scholar R W Revans (1907–2003).
Active learning is a process whereby students engage in activities, such as reading, writing, discussion, or problem solving that promote analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of class content.

What is active learning?
Learning:
Learning is the process of acquiring new understanding, knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, attitudes, and preferences
Active learning:
approach to instruction that involves actively engaging students with course material.
discussions, problem solving, case studies, role plays and other methods.
This is a student center aproach in which the responsibility for learning is placed upon the student.
3. With the goal of teaching mindful learners who actively pursue knowledge, teachers become more actively engaged in how they teach the curriculum and how they develop each student's learning potential. They mix and match a variety of ... tactics to ensure that students not only learn more, better, and faster -- they also learn smarter.
-James Ballencia
4. Teacher’s Role in the Active Learning Classroom
In active learning teachers are facilitators rather than one way providers of information.
Overall," a 2011 study found, "teachers play an influential role in increasing students' situational interest in the active-learning classroom."
teacher's social connection with students and subject matter
expertise "significantly influence the level of students' situational interest in the active learning classroom.”

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. Active learning is a
dynamic approach that
involves students in the
learning process through
participation, discussion
and problem-solving. It
encourages critical
thinking, collaboration and
deeper understanding.
3
4. 4
1) Boosts student
engagement and
participation
Active learning involves
students in interactive
activities, increasing their
involvement and attentiveness
in the learning process.
5. 5
2) Develops critical
thinking and problem-
solving skills
Through active learning
methods, students are
encouraged to analyze,
evaluate, and apply knowledge
to solve real-world challenges.
7. 7
4) Empowers students
to take ownership of
their learning process
By engaging in active learning,
students become active
participants in their
education, driving curiosity
and motivation to explore and
learn independently.
8. 8
5) Improves long-term
knowledge retention
Active learning methods, such
as discussions, hands-on
activities, and problem-solving,
have been shown to enhance
memory retention and recall
of information over time.
9. 9
Active Learning
Strategies
Team Based Learning
Team-Based Learning is an instructional
strategy that promotes active learning
through collaboration and problem-solving
within small groups.
It involves structured activities that engage
students in pre-class preparation, in-class
discussions, and application of knowledge to
real-world scenarios.
10. 10
Problem-Based Learning
Problem-Based Learning is an educational
approach that centers around real-world
problems or challenges as the starting point
for learning.
It encourages students to actively explore and
understand concepts through practical
applications and collaborative problem-solving.
11. 11
Think-Pair-Share
Think: In the first stage, students are given a
question, problem, or topic to think about
individually.
Pair: In the second stage, students are paired
up with a classmate or a partner. They then
share their thoughts, ideas, or answers with
each other.
Share: Finally, the pairs share their findings
with the rest of the class. Each pair presents
their ideas, and the teacher may facilitate a
larger group discussion based on the shared
responses.
12. 12
Peer Sharing
Peer sharing is a collaborative learning
technique where students exchange their
knowledge, insights, and ideas with their
classmates.
It involves sharing experiences, opinions, and
information to enhance each other's
understanding of a topic.
13. 13
Case Study
A case study is a research method used to
investigate and analyze a specific individual,
group, event, or situation in detail.
It involves an in-depth examination of real-life
circumstances to gain insights, understand
patterns, and draw conclusions.
The findings from a case study can contribute
to theory development, offer practical
implications, and guide decision-making in real-
world contexts.
14. 14
Journaling
Journaling is a personal writing practice where
individuals record their thoughts, experiences,
reflections, and observations in a written
format.
It can take the form of daily entries,
reflections on specific events, or reactions to
prompts.
15. 15
Debate
A debate is a structured and formal discussion
or argumentation between two or more
individuals or groups who present opposing
viewpoints on a particular topic or issue.
The outcomes of debates are not always about
determining a clear winner or loser. Instead,
debates aim to encourage the audience to
consider multiple perspectives on a topic, make
informed decisions, and engage in constructive
dialogue.
16. 16
Group Discussion
During a group discussion, participants take
turns expressing their thoughts while actively
listening to others.
Group discussions have several benefits,
including fostering critical thinking, improving
communication skills, and enhancing
participants' ability to articulate their ideas
effectively.
17. 17
Gaming
In these educational games, students actively
participate in problem-solving, critical thinking,
and decision-making processes to progress
through the game.
The gameplay is designed to encourage
exploration, experimentation, and
collaboration, promoting an active and
immersive learning experience.
18. 18
Role-Playing
Role-playing is a learning technique where
participants assume specific roles or
characters in a simulated scenario to explore
and understand different perspectives,
behaviors, and situations.
Role-playing can take place in various settings,
such as classrooms, workshops, or training
programs.
19. In conclusion, active learning strategies represent a dynamic shift
from traditional passive learning methods. By actively engaging
students in the learning process, these strategies promote deeper
understanding, critical thinking, and real-world application of
knowledge.
In a rapidly evolving educational landscape, active learning
strategies have proven to be essential tools for preparing students
to thrive in complex, dynamic environments.
