Active learning is an up and coming method in education. Students take more control of their own learning and discover methods of learning different than listening and writing notes. The teacher does not get a break however. There is much planning to be done to develop and active learning environment for students. Preparing can be quite laborious. Finding problems and real life situations related to the problem is often difficult.
Adjusting to this new method of teaching is a challenge for those who have been educated with lecture techniques. The classroom comes alive with this method of teaching. Ideas are best developed by teams of teachers in an unhurried environment.
