Effective learning-teaching process is ensured when students interact and actively participate in the learning process. Though most instructors stressed the value of active participation in classrooms of universities and colleges, achieving success in eliciting it appears more difficult. There is high tendency of instructors in higher institutions to cover the tasks and responsibilities of their students. The main aim of this study was to assess the knowledge of and to identify strategies for improving active participation in classroom among nursing and midwifery students. Institution based cross-sectional survey was conducted in Jimma University onrandomlyselected 126 students (81 nursing and 45 midwifery). The collected data were coded, checked and cleaned and entered into SPSS version 23 for analysis. Simple descriptive statistics was used to see the frequency distribution whereas cross-tabulation and Pearson Chi-square test were used to see the association between variables. Majority, 106 (84.1%) of the students had good knowledge about the benefits of active participation in classroom and they suggested strategies to be used by regular classroom teachers to improve students’ participation. Students’ academic year has shown statistically significant association with their knowledge about active participation. The authors of this study strongly recommend instructors to use active learning methods and department heads need to follow teaching methods implemented by their respective faculty.

Profile
I am a person who is highly responsible for anything that I am doing. Like being punctual both in time and my work, because this is the only way I can meet objectives that I set each day I start work. I am given to changing the education system and in bringing positive changes that can make the system better for both the learners and the teachers. Over the past years, I have been involved in deep research that is aimed at inventing new and better ways of teaching especially to the children with special needs who need special attention. In addition, I am highly disciplined ensuring that I team with the rest of the relevant stakeholders so as to make the system better. In addition, following hierarchy is one thing that I so much observe due to the fact that it can help me to reduce conflicts with both the high and lower administration.

2. Teaching Philosophy
My passion for teaching stems from a sincere desire to motivate and assist others in leading the most successful
lives possible. I wish to positively influence individuals who I will teach. I believe that each and every person
has an enormous potential and should receive an equal opportunity to reach that potential. We need to allow all
students to create a motivation within that will inspire them to continue to be life long learners.
Throughout my entire career I will make sure to accommodate all needs
and be an effective teacher who encourages and achieves student
success. I will cultivate an innovative, structured, and safe
environment to encourage a love of learning and empower my students
to reach their full potential. In order for students to aspire to succeed
they must feel safe and welcomed in their learning environment.
Children learn best through active
learning, hands-on, and self-directed
activities. In my experiences, students were
consistently given opportunities to learn
directly from their own discoveries.
Differentiation is embedded throughout the
areas of content, process, and product
within my lessons. I believe in using the
most naturalistic/ least restrictive
environment and classroom possible for all
students. The integration of technology
while teaching is used to assist meeting the
students’needs individually. I allow my
students to put forth their individual
interests in order to engage them in active
learning and take ownership of it.
