What is Active Learning?
Active learning strategies are teaching methods that actively engage students in the learning process, making them participants rather than passive recipients of information. These strategies require students to think critically, apply concepts, and solve problems, leading to a deeper understanding of the material. Active learning can take many forms, from individual to collaborative activities, and focuses on engaging students through participation, discussion, and reflection. Active learning emphasizes problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration—essential skills in the professional world.
