Active learning helps the student maintain his or her engagement. It's easy to forget what you learn after reading it but if you continuously utilize active learning, your chance of retaining information is higher.
Students that are engaged will be more successful, implementing fun activities will help to keep students engaged in learning.
It is important to create activities to engage students in the course. Engaged students have better success and understanding.
As teachers, it can be difficult to let go of control, but our role is to facilitate student's learning. When they take responsibility by questioning, discussing, and applying knowledge, they develop deeper understanding and essential skills. I plan to strenghten this through case studies and problem-based learning in my online courses.
active learning is enjoyable when the students can engage in what they are learning
Active learning requires instructors to provide learners with opportunities to apply content to solve problems.
Active learning needs a good planned stucture to help the student to do what is expected; listen, read, write, discuss, reflect and work for a project in the subject.
Active learning includes gamifying certain elements of the course to enhance engagement
Active Learning puts the responsibility on the Students to Learn. The instructor assumes the role of coach and steers the learning for results.
Learned the concept of Active Learning, and its principles which is extremely helpful. In addition - Collaborative learning, Cooperative learning, and Problem-based learning add to overall understanding of how many different approaches exists and what are their positive and negative sides.
Active learning has been proven to enhance students’ critical thinking abilities, improve overall learning effectiveness, and develop stronger writing skills.
Active learning allows students and teachers to engage in so many ways/platforms to continue to encourage education. Traditional old style teaching in my opinion did not promote fun active learning.
I learned how important facilitating active learning is and how different it may be from some of the old structured teaching techniques we may have learned from. I love that it is so student centered and focuses on teaching critical thinking instead of just memorizing information.
Active learning is not just lecture it get students more engaged and involved.
Maintain an interactive approach with students.
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.
I have learnt that strong online learning should be filled with lots of fun activities. Getting students involved will through these fun activities.
Strong online learning should be filled with fun activities.
I learned the 3 main approaches to active learning - collaborative learning, corporative learning, and project-based learning. I plan to incorporate project-based learning in my classroom by assigning real-world projects to students. This would allow students to develop skills, knowledge, and critical thinking. Allowing the students to work on these projects in small groups encourages active learning and collaboration.
Active learning approach encourages student engagement and critical thinking skills. I intend to apply active learning by Think-pair-share and simulation.
