Active Learning

Mary E James

Active learning is described from the website as “students to talk and listen, read, write, and reflect as they approach course content through problem-solving exercises, informal small groups, simulations, case studies, role playing, and other activities -- all of which require students to apply what they are learning.”

An advantage of this strategy is when students interact with one another it helps their thinking process and also helps students see other views, perspectives or opinions. Also, the students' learning and comprehension is greatly enhanced from active involvement in the learning process. Students benefit from active learning but also enjoy active learning.
