Active Learning Strategies

Active learning involves instructional activities where learners are engaged in doing tasks and thinking about what they are doing. It has a powerful impact on learning and develops higher-order thinking skills better than traditional lectures. Active learning benefits learners by allowing them to use prior knowledge and think critically about content while engaging in a variety of cognitive strategies. Examples of active learning strategies include think-pair-share, lecture-discussion, questioning, case studies, and more.
