ACTIVE LEARNING ACTIVITIES


  • Students solve problems, answer questions, formulate questions of their own, discuss, explain, debate, or brainstorm during class
  • Research has shown that knowledge retention can be significantly increased by creating a welcoming environment and incorporating active learning strategies into your teaching.(Blumberg, P. (2008)
  • Learning is not a spectator sport – students do not learn much just by sitting in class listening to teachers, memorizing prepackaged assignments, and spitting out answers. They must talk about what they are learning, write about it, relate it to past experiences, apply it to their daily lives. They must make what they learn part of themselves. (Chickering, A & Gamson, Z. F. (March 1987)Seven principles for good practice. AAHE Bulletin 39: 3-7. )
