Active Learning

Active Learning

Passive Learning - ReadingAbsorbing the information read

Memorizing elements of the text

Not critically responding to the text

Active Learning

Passive Learning - ListeningListening is more active then reading,

but it can also be done passively

A passive listener does not take notes or tries to stabilish relations between what he's listening and what he knows

Active Learning

Passive Learning – Looking/Seeing

Looking at paintings, maps and graphs can be a very effective way of learning. However, if one does not try to go beyond the information in the picture and try to comprehend the context of its creation, the relations it stabilishes, etc., he would probably forget what he learned very quickly.

Active Learning

Passive Learning – Seeing and Hearing

In addition to PowerPoint lectures, multimedia and movies have the advantage of illustrating reading and lecture content in new (engaging) formats.

Field trips allow people to understand the subject of their studies by seeing it in it's original place.

Concept

Active learning refers to techniques where students do more than simply listen to a lecture.

Active Learning

Class discussion

Discussion requires the learners to think critically on the subject matter and use logic to evaluate their and others' positions.

Think-pair-share activity

Learners take a minute to ponder the previous lesson, later to discuss it with one or more of their peers, finally to share it with the class as part of a formal discussion.

Active Learning

Learning cell

Short written exercise

This is a good way to review materials and provide feedback.
