Promoting Active Learning

Active learning is a learning and teaching approach that engages students in the learning process actively, rather than positioning them as passive recipients of information. This method involves activities such as discussions, problem-solving, case studies, role plays, and other interactive tasks that encourage students to think critically and apply their knowledge

The goal of active learning is to make students more engaged and responsible for their own learning, promoting deeper understanding and retention of the concepts, practices and ways that these can be used in wider life or employment.

Active learning often includes collaborative and cooperative learning, where students work together to explore specific topics to deepen understanding and develop confidence in group work.
