Active learning is an instructional method in which students participate in dynamic and experiential learning activities. This method immerses students in the learning process and transforms the abstract concept of an educational experience into something tangible and exciting.
In the modern classroom, the traditional combination of assigned readings and a lecture may be extremely effective for some students; however, the combination could fall short for others who enjoy a different learning style or simply aren’t engaged.
By supplementing readings and lectures with dynamic experiences, students have the opportunity to interact with course material in meaningful ways. Active learning increases comprehension, helps students connect with key concepts, and inspires students to participate fully in the learning experience.
