Active involvement in the learning process has been suggested to enhance creative thinking, judgement, interpretation, and problem-solving skills. Therefore, educators are encouraged to create an active-learning environment by incorporating active-learning strategies into the class. However, there is very little documentation of the effectiveness of active-learning strategies. Furthermore, faculty are often reluctant to incorporate new strategies without documentation of the effectiveness of these strategies. To address this concern, we compared the performance of two individual classes on an identical respiratory physiology examination. One class was taught respiratory physiology using active-learning strategies. The other class was taught respiratory physiology using the traditional lecture format. The results document that students who learned using active-learning strategies did significantly better ( P < 0.05) on the respiratory physiology examination than students who learned by the traditional lecture format (61 ± 2.2 vs. 86 ± 1.0). Thus, by actively involving students in the learning process, academic performance is enhanced.

Traditional review sessions are typically focused on instructor-based learning. However, experts in the field of higher education have long recommended teaching modalities that incorporate student-based active-learning strategies. Given this, we developed an educational game in pulmonary physiology for first-year medical students based loosely on the popular television game show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. The purpose of our game, Who Wants To Be A Physician, was to provide students with an educational tool by which to review material previously presented in class. Our goal in designing this game was to encourage students to be active participants in their own learning process. The Who Wants To Be A Physician game was constructed in the form of a manual consisting of a bank of questions in various areas of pulmonary physiology: basic concepts, pulmonary mechanics, ventilation, pulmonary blood flow, pulmonary gas exchange, gas transport, and control of ventilation. Detailed answers are included in the manual to assist the instructor or player in comprehension of the material. In addition, an evaluation instrument was used to assess the effectiveness of this instructional tool in an academic setting. Specifically, the evaluation instrument addressed five major components, including goals and objectives, participation, content, components and organization, and summary and recommendations. Students responded positively to our game and the concept of active learning. Moreover, we are confident that this educational tool has enhanced the students' learning process and their ability to understand and retain information.

Active Learning Strategies

Purpose Engaging students through active learning is the gold standard of teaching especially in higher education; however, it is not clear whether students appreciate being so engaged. The purpose of this paper is to recount an attempt to redesign a lecture-based course, applying research-supported active learning strategies, and to report on student perceptions of the attempt. Design/methodology/approach The author attempted to innovate a standard lecture-based introductory social science class to engage students and facilitate authentic learning. The active learning innovations were learning by doing, collaboration, reading with a method, and increased autonomy. Student perceptions were measured over two iterations of the course (each one lasting one semester) using electronically distributed surveys. Findings The results have shown that most students strongly agreed that the innovations facilitated their learning; however, overall, the course received a lower student evaluation than versions given in the traditional lecture-based format. Originality/value The results suggest that students appreciate active learning strategies and that such strategies do indeed promote authentic learning; nonetheless, further research needs to be done to explain the paradox of specific student appreciation of active learning strategies combined with an overall less favorable evaluation of the class rooted in such strategies as compared to evaluations of the traditional lecture-based class.

The paper is aimed at describing the procedures of three active learning strategies which can be used to design a learning situation for learners to speak English actively. The three active learning strategies are live interview, short conversation, and long talk. Specifically, the implementation of each strategy can give impact to the learners’ speaking performance in terms of accuracy, fluency, and comprehensibility. Each strategy promotes the learners’ self-confidence and thinking skills. The implementation of each strategy considers four aspects, namely: the roles of teacher, the classroom interaction, the material, and the learning process. Each strategy evokes variation in those aspects.

Educational systems are now focusing on skills enhancement, such as creative thinking skills (CTS), as a means of long-lasting, significant learning. To this end, some universities and higher education institutions incentivize active learning (AL) strategies as CTS developers. Indeed, a positive link among creative results, time availability, and the educational environment has been reported; however, it is mainly based on qualitative and perceptual results. For this reason, we present this comparative, quantitative study in the context of a Mexican high school, weighing the effectiveness of the flipped learning and gamification teaching strategies against a conventional approach. The study revealed no differences in the learning environment; instead, the type of activity and the teamwork interaction affected CTS the most. However, those who participated in the learning Strategies (LS) evaluated themselves higher than their peers in the traditional classes. These results highlight the independence of CTS toward the referred LS and set a departing point for further research addressing the course activities’ qualities seemingly related to CTS enhancement.

Almighty created human beings with countless endeavors among that learning plays a vigorous role. Learning can be systematized set of principles which acquires, stores, disseminates, process or understand and recall the various knowledge domains. Quenching the thirst of knowledge is conceivable by either Traditional Learning or Active Learning and both strategies or mechanisms. In this study we discuss on how Traditional Learning strategies continuous from years to gather in importing the knowledge by using chalk and board with numerous pros and cons. This learning focuses on memorization techniques but partially succeed in developing creative thinking strategies. Other limitation of this traditional teaching is due to participation of “only teacher interaction with the student “could not able to achieve outcome of the entire courses. To create interactive environment between the teacher and student we focus on active learning strategies. Active learning is super engaged strategy for cultivating creating thinking power of learners. This strategy is ongoing best suited and result oriented for mainly experimental and applied courses. In this paper we discuss how effective these strategies could be a productive means of achieving course outcomes for modern technological courses. Active Learning strategies will bridge the gap between traditional teaching strategies and modern technological courses outcomes. The various Active Learning strategies which are encountered are perception learning (listening & speaking), Thinking & Reasoning, Class room discussions, Think pair & share; Problem based learning, Solution Based Learning, Shared brain storming and Experimental learning. These strategies can be applied to technological, management, Engineering, medical courses which exhibit the active learning strategies.

<h1><em>Mathematics is one of the lessons learned in school to develop the ability to count, measure, and solve problems in everyday life. Math grows due process of thinking, therefore, the logic is the basis for the formation of mathematics. Logic is the infancy of mathematics, mathematics is the opposite of logic adulthood. Given the importance of mathematics in life, we need a learning that is able to develop students' mathematical abilities. through the practice of acting on the premise logical, rational, critical, careful, honest, effective and efficient. And to prepare students to use mathematics and mindset of mathematics in everyday life, and in studying various sciences. Efforts should be made to overcome this problem is by applying active learning strategies that can help the learning process of students that is based on the creativity of the students active learning strategies Listening Team and the type of active learning strategies type Practice Rehearsal Pairs.

Active Learning Strategies

Active learning refers to activities that engage students in the learning process. To make the learning process more active, instructors should add opportunities for reflection. However, reflection is not limited to the classroom environment. Instruction is shifting toward incorporating opportunities for active learning through online platforms. We developed four online health topic modules—sexual health, nutrition, environmental health, and alcohol awareness—and evaluated 1,090 student responses to course content. Students provided feedback on the activities that aided in learning course content. Thematic analysis was conducted to systematically review the data and elicit meaning. Using an inductive approach to students’ feedback, we synthesized the excerpts, quotations, and entire passages from students’ open-ended responses. Three major themes constructed from the data were (a) mode of delivery of the course content, (b) applicability of the content to students’ lives and the community, and (c) structure of the modules. The design and implementation resulted in six lessons for educators: students were engaged when the content was applicable to their personal life, students valued learning about how public health affects their community, course content must provide opportunities for critical thinking and self-reflection, students valued the hybrid nature of the course, student feedback of the online modules promoted self-reflection, and students and instructors appreciated the worksheet that guided the online class.

Bloodborne Pathogen

Every year, school nurses have the responsibility for developing and presenting a bloodborne pathogen presentation to the education and clerical staff of their buildings. Although the information is similar from year to year, the manner in which the information is presented can be altered. Teachers are using active learning strategies in a variety of learning environments, engaging students in the learning process by having them play an active role. With some planning, preparation, and imagination, active learning strategies can be incorporated into bloodborne pathogen presentations. The purpose of this article is to define active learning, describe how to develop a program using active learning strategies, and provide some examples of bloodborne pathogen presentations that have already been developed. Several sources are identified that can provide the school nurse with information regarding bloodborne pathogens. Information about how computers can be integrated into the bloodborne pathogen presentation is also presented.
