Active learning keeps the attention of the student and helps make connections with the content.
I really love. the break down of analitical ana critical thinking skills. We often use these as our learning goals, but do students truly understand what they mean. I will defenitely make some warm up activities with all the elements provided in this Module.
Active learning will help PTA students to develop critical decision making habits. Taking information and applying it to their patients.
Communication is key. For students to be successful, we as faculty must give clear instuctions on what is require of them. I plan to use many tools in my class to promote Active Learning.
It is important to be prepared in the classroom.
Active learning can be very beneficial in helping the student understand goal & objects that must be met during the learning process.
This opened my eyes to additional "active learning activities" that I previously overlooked- I often use simulation, role play, and critical thinking case studies- I like the idea of debates!
Active learning is significant to student success
Active learning will keep the interest of student longer and they will be less likely to disengage.
Active learning is a great approach to engage students
I appreciated the focus on exercises and examples to foster active learning strategies.
I am happy to see that this is part of this certification.
my lectures have lots of info but it is all in the delivery and how to get students to actively learn this material. So I am looking forward to what lies ahead in this module. I am appreciative of all of this information that will help me be a better instructor.
I will use active learning will mu students. This method encourages students to engage in their learning by thinking, discussing, investigating, and creating.
There are multiple ways to engage students in active learning.
I really enjoyed learning the six components in a comprehensive model of active learning. As I clicked thru each of the icons, I found myself setting up a lesson in my mind and implementing each of them. Perhaps the most challenging aspect will be "time." Knowing exactly how much time to allow might require a couple dry runs to really deliver the most effective lesson. Thank you for all of the excellent tips!
I like that the example of "debates" were used. This could also be reformatted to be in a game-show type presentation.
There are many methods that we can implement for active learning. Active learning is beneficial to all learners and is student centered.
Keeping students engaged is a big challenge.
Learning is an active process, the learner must be involved mentally, physically, emotionally, socailly, and maybe even spiritually.
And long after class is over, students must continue to reflect/think about the topic/concept and apply them in multiple facets of their life.
