An Introduction to Active Learning
Most people learn best by:
• Actively working with new concepts and ideas• Solving problems
![Page 8: Welcome Welcome to “Getting Results” A National Science Foundation project developed by WGBH with the League for Innovation and 13 community colleges from](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649dbb5503460f94aac148/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
An Introduction to Active Learning
Most people learn best by:
• Asking and answering questions
• Discussing, debating, and brainstorming
• Researching and explaining

An Introduction to Active Learning
Successful teachers provide students with opportunities to engage in these types of activities:

Strategies for Active Learning
There are many strategies for promoting active learning, including:
• Providing hands-on activities for students• Guiding through questioning• Facilitating group work
![Page 11: Welcome Welcome to “Getting Results” A National Science Foundation project developed by WGBH with the League for Innovation and 13 community colleges from](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649dbb5503460f94aac148/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Strategies for Active Learning
One way to move beyond the teacher-centered model is to give your students some hands-on experience with new concepts and ideas.

“Engaging Students in Lecture and Lab”
• What kinds of questions do the instructors ask?
• How do their interactions with students encourage these students to find their own answers?
Watch the video:http://www.league.org/gettingresults/web/module3/active/engaging_video.html
![Page 13: Welcome Welcome to “Getting Results” A National Science Foundation project developed by WGBH with the League for Innovation and 13 community colleges from](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649dbb5503460f94aac148/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Asking Questions
• Questioning is a powerful way to increase student participation and encourage understanding.
• The right kind of question at the right time can help a student clarify her thoughts, recognize a pattern, or overcome a conceptual hurdle.
![Page 14: Welcome Welcome to “Getting Results” A National Science Foundation project developed by WGBH with the League for Innovation and 13 community colleges from](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649dbb5503460f94aac148/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Responding to Questions
• Make sure you give students adequate time to formulate a response to your questions.
• Acknowledge students’ comments with a few words, probe a little deeper, paraphrase a confusing answer, or ask other students to respond to the answer.
![Page 15: Welcome Welcome to “Getting Results” A National Science Foundation project developed by WGBH with the League for Innovation and 13 community colleges from](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649dbb5503460f94aac148/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Collaborative Learning
Collaborative learning gives students an opportunity to develop many skills, including:
• Negotiation and debate• Responsibility and time management• Teamwork and leadership• Creative and critical thinking
![Page 16: Welcome Welcome to “Getting Results” A National Science Foundation project developed by WGBH with the League for Innovation and 13 community colleges from](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649dbb5503460f94aac148/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Collaborative Learning
Try using established cooperative learning strategies such as:
• Think-pair-share• Jigsaw• Creating academic controversies
![Page 17: Welcome Welcome to “Getting Results” A National Science Foundation project developed by WGBH with the League for Innovation and 13 community colleges from](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649dbb5503460f94aac148/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Lab Experiences
Try using active learning strategies in the lab, including:
• Scheduling the lab first, and then working with students on the theory • Asking students to make predictions
before they begin a lab• Devoting more time to a complex
problem

Looking Back
When thinking about active teaching and learning:
• You should integrate questioning opportunities into lectures and help students make connections between what they are hearing and what they already know.
![Page 22: Welcome Welcome to “Getting Results” A National Science Foundation project developed by WGBH with the League for Innovation and 13 community colleges from](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649dbb5503460f94aac148/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Looking Back
When thinking about active teaching and learning:
• You should create collaborative learning opportunities in which students will use real-world problems that are likely to be found in career situations.
![Page 23: Welcome Welcome to “Getting Results” A National Science Foundation project developed by WGBH with the League for Innovation and 13 community colleges from](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032600/56649dbb5503460f94aac148/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Looking Back
When thinking about active teaching and learning:
• you should allow students to take an active role in the daily activities of class, such as setting up technology, taking notes on the board, or distributing handouts, and gradually build the level of activity each time you teach the course.
