I appreciated the concept of teachers "letting go" - allowing the students to be the masters of their own education with teachers acting as guides, coaches.
Active learning takes control out of the instructors hands and makes learning a collaborative process. The learning is coached or supported by the instructor, but places the responsibility in the students hands.
Straight lecture is not the only way to learn
I have learned in this section to make sure and add active learning as a way to engage the online students to be more involved and active in their own learning journey. I don't just teach by being in front of the class, but by asking the student questions and providing games and quizzes to ensure they are retaining the material. I also learned that taking regular breaks can help in the learning process.
Active learning engages students in the learning process through activities that encourage thinking, discussion, and application of knowledge.
some examples are group discussions, think-pair-share, peer teaching.
Active learning takes the learner from passive learning to an active enviroment where the student can apply problem solving and relate the course content to real life situations and application.
I learned that active learning shifts students from passive recipients of information to engaged participants in their own learning. It promotes deeper understanding through activities like discussions, problem-solving, and reflection. I plan to apply this by integrating more interactive elements into my online course, like polls, collaborative tasks, and breakout discussions, to keep students engaged and encourage critical thinking.
Active leaning has been gaining in use in classrooms since the 1990's as it helps students take an active role in their learning. Instructors have to reevaluate their role as a provider of knowledge in one direction to a guide that helps students take responsibility for their own understanding of course content.
Active learning is an educational approach where students are actively involved in the learning process, rather than passively receiving information. It encourages participation through activities like discussions, problem-solving, group work, reflections, and hands-on tasks.
The importance of active learning lies in how it improves understanding, critical thinking, and long-term retention of knowledge. It helps students apply what they learn in real-world situations, stay engaged with the material, and take responsibility for their own learning. In both in-person and online environments, active learning promotes deeper learning and creates a more student-centered experience.
Active learning is important for online education, or any type of education at all. It's crucial to know that the student can and must be engaged in the learning process and it is his responsability to learn, not the teachers.
Also, we can rely on instructional designers to make our content more atractive and functional.
Active learning is about envolving students in their own learning path and keep them engaged throughout their learning process within different activities.
Its very important have a active education for both students and teachers.
Active learning in centered on the students and the instructors/facilitators are in charge of giving the students the space and tools to develop themselves on critical thinking about the subject of discussion.
Online learning gives tools and support to attend all students, and involved them in the construction knowledge.
I plan to incorporate in online teaching a variety of strategies to engage the students. Hopefully, students will not fall asleep during my online teaching
Aprendí que hay varios tipos de Aprendizaje, el que me intereso mas fue el de aprendizaje basado en problemas . creo que es uno de los que voy a incluir en mis clases.
What I have learned from this module is that facilitating active learning into the curriculum can increase a students learning ad keep them engaged throughout the course of their learning. It also can increase retention and help with understanding . I intend on applying some active learning techniques to the course material such as acting out in class (F2F) or online a case study to capture the students perspective and get a better understanding of how the information is being retained by the student.
El aprendizaje activo es una metodología centrada en el estudiante, donde se promueve su participación directa en el proceso educativo a través de actividades como discusiones, resolución de problemas, estudios de caso y proyectos colaborativos. En lugar de limitarse a escuchar al docente, el estudiante analiza, aplica y construye conocimientos, desarrollando así un rol más autónomo y comprometido con su formación.
Este enfoque es fundamental porque favorece una comprensión más profunda de los contenidos, mejora la retención del conocimiento y fortalece habilidades clave como el pensamiento crítico, la comunicación y el trabajo en equipo. Además, prepara al estudiante para enfrentar situaciones reales, al vincular el aprendizaje con contextos prácticos y significativos.
Active learning is a teaching approach that engages students directly in the learning process through activities like discussions, problem solving and collaborative tasks, encouraging deeper understanding and retention of content.
Active learning moves the student away from passive learning to participating in gaining knowledge.
Because part of the course is an online forum, you need to make sure that you are effectively communicating with the students to make sure everyone is given the opportunity to reach you if they have any questions or concerns, and to also make sure that they have the proper resources they need to succeed.
