Active Learning According to Gregory
“Odom, et al. (2009) describe the philosophy of active learning as one that emphasizes student “responsibility for their own learning as well as that of their peers” (p. 108).” (Gregory, 2013, p. 117)
“There are four basic elements of active learning strategies: talking and listening, writing, reading, and reflecting.” (Gregory, 2013, p. 117)
“active learning “promotes a higher level of learning,” where students go beyond the content, to look at the connections within and to the content and how those connections were formed” (Gregory, 2013, p. 117)
