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.
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.
