Active Learning Strategies

One of the major features of literature teaching in Algeria is the use of teacher-centred instructional approaches based on unidirectional lecturing and extended presentations. The paper examines teachers’ perceptions of and their concerns in implementing complex active learning strategies in their classrooms. The research is a case study conducted at the Department of English at Tlemcen University, Algeria. A qualitative approach was adopted in the analysis of the data collected through a structured interview held with three teachers. The findings revealed that despite the teachers’ recognition of the crucial role of active learning strategies in sustaining students’ engagement with the literature, they are still reluctant to introduce them into their teaching owing to a host of personal reasons and other background and contextual challenges. In response to this, the paper suggests the urgent reconsideration of the applied literature teaching methodology, stressing the role of teacher development to make active learning a successful approach in the classroom.   Keywords: Active learning, literature teaching, teachers ‘perceptions, traditional approaches, teacher development.

Introduction: This study examines how 13 bachelor students on Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences experience collaborative learning on campus at NTNU. My purpose was to find out how students reflect upon collaborative learning face to face on Campus, especially according to learning outcome. The findings are based on empirical data. I investigate how they handle collaborative learning, problems they meet and choices they make while collaborating. My findings will be presented in five different main themes.   Method: I analyzed three focus group interviews with 13 students using SDI-model and Nvivo12. I focused on the student’s descriptions and reflections of collaborative learning and learning outcome.  Results: The students have a lot of reflections about collaborative learning in akademia. The analysis resulted in five different themes named ‘the teacher’s role’, ‘the role of friction’, ‘the role of being prepared’, ‘consciousness’ and ‘meaning making’.   Conclusion: The study implies that to achieve desired effect of learning from collaborative learning the universities should continue to encourage active learning strategies. Especially important to succeed is the teacher’s role in scaffolding, the role of friction and the role of being prepared. The role of consciousness and meaning-making is also important in constructing and creating knowledge.   This presentation main message is to show the role of collaborative learning on Campus according to why universities should continue to focus on a change in practice which include active learning strategies to succeed teaching.

Purpose: The study analyses how active learning strategies can improve the learners’ language skills especially the listening skills with the use of various active learning strategies and blended teaching. It also shed light on the aim and purpose of certain strategies that will make the class more student-centered and engages the learners actively. It supports the constructivist approach a theory that underlies active learning. The study involves a survey conducted in some private, semi-urban, CBSE, middle schools in Chennai on the English teachers in understanding their opinion on using active learning strategies in class to enhance the learners’ language skills in a day-to-day classroom. The data collected from the survey form and details from one-on-one interaction with teachers will help the researcher learn the impediments faced by the teachers in implementing these strategies in the classroom. Methodology: The survey sheet is a questionnaire that focuses on the teacher’s classroom practices. It involves certain aspects such as Teaching methodology, teaching strategies, assessments, Feedback and its efficacy and Teacher attitude towards students. The questionnaire besides MCQs also had some one-line questions to which teachers had to answer. The survey was conducted on 50 teachers from 6 different schools teaching English in Middle schools of the semi-urban area of Chennai. Main Findings: The various barriers faced by the teachers in implementing active learning strategies are found in the survey conducted. It was also observed that there was some dearth of knowledge among teachers in the contemporary theories that lead to the resistance of the teachers in conducting the activities. Application: The methods mentioned in the paper can be adopted by teachers who also feel that the major reasons for their resistance in using active learning strategies in their day-to-day class are categorically similar to the reasons mentioned in the paper. Novelty: The methods suggested in the paper are a combination of active learning which is a theory predominantly based on constructivism and blended teaching. Although the reasons mentioned by the teachers in the survey are major limitations in planning an active learning class, these can be controlled to an extent by planning these strategies with resources suitable to one’s learner group and using certain active learning strategies in class with the students.

Mixed Approach

The purpose of this research was to examine the implementation of Active Learning Strategies (ALSs) in logic and critical thinking classrooms by focusing on freshman students of Gondar University. For this purpose, a concurrent triangulation mixed approach and case study design were employed. The data were collected through questionnaires (n=361), interviews and document analysis. Accordingly, the utilization of ALSs in logic and critical thinking classrooms is found to be negligible. Though buzz group discussions and presentations were found to be preferable as compared to other ALSs, they are utilized in a rare manner. Factors related with the directives of the Ministry, motivation of the instructors and students were found to have an influence on the utilization of ALSs. This implies though the Ministry claims that it is committed for the utilization of ALSs, its directives are not found to be complimentary with its rhetoric for the utilization of ALSs. Int. J. Soc.

Teaching for active learning has been widely recognized as a more effective teaching methodology than traditional transmission models of teaching. However, numerous studies have documented the persistence of traditional teaching methods despite the extensive research literature on the effectiveness of teaching for active learning and frequent efforts to train teachers to use this approach in their classrooms. In this article a team of lecturers from the University of Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa (UNTIRTA: Universitas Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa) in Indonesia report on an action research project carried out at an elementary-level madrasah in the city of Cilegon. Members of the team gathered qualitative data through interviews, focus groups, and classroom observations in order to better understand the challenges teachers faced in teaching for active learning before designing and carrying out a collaborative intervention designed to help teachers use active learning strategies in a mathematics classroom. Key Words: Active Learning, Madrasah, Mathematics, Indonesia
