Remember the following:
We remember 20% of what we hear.
We remember 30% of what we see.
We remember 50 % of what we see and hear .
We remember 90 % of what we say and do.
We remember 100% of what we pass on to others.
............................
When I hear, I forget.
When I see, I remember.
When I do, I understand.
When I learn, I evaluate.
When I evaluate, I imagine, create and innovate.
Active Learning
The GTM / (Old Traditional Method):
The grammar–translation method is a method of teaching foreign languages derived from the classical (sometimes called traditional) method of teaching Greek and Latin. In grammar–translation classes, students learn grammatical rules and then apply those rules by translating sentences between the target language and the native language. The grammar–translation method originated from the practice of teaching Latin. In the early 1500s, Latin was the most widely studied foreign language due to its prominence in government, academia, and business. There are two main goals to grammar–translation classes. One is to develop students’ reading ability to a level where they can read literature in the target language. The other is to develop students’ general mental discipline.Grammar–translation classes are usually conducted in the students’ native language. Grammar rules are learned deductively; students learn grammar rules by rote, and then practice the rules by doing grammar drills and translating sentences to and from the target language. More attention is paid to the form of the sentences being translated than to their content. When students reach more advanced levels of achievement, they may translate entire texts from the target language. Tests often consist of the translation of classical texts.
Active Learning:
The active learning or the activity -based learning method is applied in the USA schools. It depends on the participation of the learner during the lesson presentation. In it, the learner plays his active role and practises what he learns through real situations that lead to a communication between the learner and himself, the learner and the teacher, the learner and other learners, the learner and the course, or between the learner and the environment that surrounds him inside and outside class in order to qualify himself to use his language in real life. Active learning is "anything that involves students in doing things and thinking about the things they are doing"
"To do" is to apply," to apply" is to reach a result," to reach a result" is to evaluate," to evaluate" is to learn and "to learn" is to acquire experiences , pass our knowledge on to others and achieve the desired course objective we seek for. Learners must think, pair and share. This kind of teaching must be implemented among learners inside and outside the class. This kind of actual and practical communication serves the public aim which is represented in creating communication on the standard of individuals, groups, societies and countries, hence, creating peace, love and friendly ties among all countries all over the world. How holy that purpose is! and how wonderful that method of teaching is!
Active learning is a process whereby students engage in activities, such as reading, writing, discussion, or problem solving that promote analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of class content. Cooperative learning, problem-based learning, and the use of case methods and simulations are some approaches that promote active learning. This section provides links to bibliographies, research summaries, articles, and other resources about active learning.
Active Learning Continuum
This handout graphically represents the relative
complexity of different active learning techniques. It also provides
brief descriptions for each of the activities on the continuum. Actively engaging students motivates deeper thinking about course
content, brings additional energy to a classroom, and helps an
instructor pin point problem areas. This article provides summaries of
current practices and gives practical suggestions for implementing
active learning in a variety of disciplines.
Why incorporate active learning techniques?
Active learning also:
(Activity-based learning VS Traditional Learning Method)
- Reinforces important material, concepts, and skills.
- Provides more frequent and immediate feedback to students.
- Addresses different student learning styles.
- Provides students with an opportunity to think about, talk about, and process course material.
- Creates personal connections to the material for students, which increases their motivation to learn.
- Allows students to practice important skills, such as collaboration, through pair and group work.
- Builds self-esteem through conversations with other students.
- Creates a sense of community in the classroom through increased student-student and instructor-student interaction.
