What is active learning?
Active learning is a term used to describe instructional
strategies that promote students’ active participation in
knowledge construction processes. Such strategies may
include hands-on activities, brief writing and discussion
assignments, problem-solving tasks, information gathering
and synthesis, question generation, and reflection-based
activities, among others.
Together, these approaches seek to engage learners’
higher order thinking skills through the production and
articulation of knowledge, as opposed to through the
passive transmission of facts and ideas.
Active learning is a process that has student learning
at its center. Active learning focuses on how students
learn,not just on what they learn. Students are
encouraged to ‘think hard’, rather
than passively
receive information from the teacher.

Activity-based teaching
Activity-Based Learning is a type of teaching where
children learn at their own pace through various
supervised activities. It is a more interactive and
engaging method of teaching children. It allows for
monitoring factors such as coordination, speech, motor
skills and social skills amongst other important factors.
It is a fun approach to learning since it boosts the
development of the brain in children by providing
constant stimulus by prompting them to respond.
Activity-based learning is achieved mainly in three ways
which are, experimentation, expression, and exploration.
Activity-based learning
Activity-based learning is a disruptive innovation in
education that can
transform teaching and learning.
Instead of transmitting information to
the student as
is commonly done in a lecture, activity-based learning
provides students a way to experience and interact
with ideas and
information. Because activity-based
learning connects students with real
world practical
problems, it increases student engagement.
Activity-based learning is generally convenient, easy
to use, and can be
constructed from traditional teaching
methods, aligning and blending
with pre-existing
education pedagogy, competency mapping
and assessment.
Activity-based learning is modular
and creates opportunities for
meaningful
collaborative work.
Activity
-based teaching and learning method is
a technique adopted by a teacher to emphasize
his or her method of
teaching through activity
in which the students participate rigorously
and
bring about efficient learning experiences.
It is a child-centered
approach. It is a method
in which the child is actively involved in
participating mentally and physically.
Learning by doing is the main focus in
this method.
Learning by doing is imperative in successful
learning since
it is well proved that more the
senses are stimulated, more a person learns
and
longer he/she retains.
In an
activity based teaching method,
learners willingly with enthusiasm internalize
and
implement concepts relevant to their needs.
So our understanding on the
activity method
by now should mean any learning that is carried
out with a
purpose in a social environment, involving
physical and mental action,
stimulating for
creative action or expression.
Activity-based learning
revolves around :
Experimentation – gathering knowledge through
experience. Exploration – gathering knowledge
and attaining skills through active investigation.
Expression – encouraging kids to express their
views through visual presentations.
Active learning strategies
Active learning strategies are built upon constructivist
theories of learning, which emphasize the importance of
building connections between one’s prior knowledge and
new experiences and concepts. As such, active learning
tasks are designed to tease out learners’ current
understanding, make that understanding explicit, and
then create opportunities for learners to integrate new
knowledge into their understanding.
Typically, active learning strategies involve a mixture of
individual and collaborative tasks, giving students the
chance to reflect or predict outcomes, and then to share
and discuss their ideas with peers. Activities can last
anywhere from mere minutes to large segments of a
class period; the point is simply to activate learners’
cognitive processes while they are in class.
The information below will help you design and implement
strategies that support this decidedly broad category of
instructional methods.
