Active Learning Strategy

Experiments were performed to study the effect of integrating an intervention strategy on student learning in an active learning environment in three different undergraduate mathematics courses. In these pedagogical experiments, the learning was measured via several subjective tests and the overall final grade for each course. For each course the comparison was made between two sections, one receiving the material via traditional instruction (control section) and the second receiving the material via instruction based on the active learning strategy (experimental section). It was found that students taught using the latter approach performed significantly better in the tests and exams, reflecting a good understanding of the material.

Active Learning Strategy

This journal discusses the urgency of a conducive learning environment in encouraging students to learn actively. A conducive school learning environment is closely related to the quality of student learning. It is realized that a conducive class can prevent students from boredom, boredom and psychological fatigue, while another conducive class conducts motivation and endurance in learning. In an active learning environment, students are not burdened individually in solving problems encountered in learning, but they can ask each other and discuss so that the burden of learning for them did not happen. With this active learning strategy is expected to grow and develop all the potential that they have so that in the end can optimize their learning results. Therefore, in the learning process of teachers play a role as mentors. Teachers should try to enliven and motivate students to create a conducive interaction process in the learning process in the classroom. In an active learning process it occurs a dialogue that interactions between students with students, students with teachers or students with other learning resources.

Active Learning Strategy

Active learning strategy has an important role in helping students gain twenty-first-century skills such as creativity, collaboration, responsibility and effective communication. By being more active and free in classrooms, students take their own learning responsibility. In this study, we wanted to see the active learning strategy through students’ eyes. Thus, we asked for their views after the completion of the activity. Consequently, students stated they had a lot of fun, felt happy and proud. They also indicated that they developed their imagination and creativity. They also found the opportunity to practice speaking English and discovered how to reach a consensus as a group. In sum, the activity we adopted active learnin strategy provided them a better learning environment. Keywords: Active learning, group work, creative thinking

Active Learning Strategy

The objective of this research is to investigate an intervention-based active learning strategy incorporating the principles of cognitive psychology to enhance student learning in an undergraduate engineering mathematics course. In this strategy, the classroom was completely flipped, i.e., the students were assigned weekly reading assignments and had to take a quiz before joining the classroom. Inside the classroom, the lectures were replaced with group-problem solving sessions. Specifically, students were divided into small groups where they collectively solved worksheets containing several problems. By design, the worksheets integrated the key principles of cognitive science in learning that are conducive to long term retention of the topics, namely, reinforcement, spacing and instant feedback. Subsequently, the students were given take-home practice problem sets to master the concepts. On comparing the student learning outcomes from this strategy with the outcomes from the traditional lecturing approach, it was found that the students indulging in the carefully designed active learning environment performed better. It can be concluded that the improved student learning and retention can be attributed to the combination of active learning and the effective intervention strategy employed in the course

Abstract Background Developing students’ generic capabilities is a major goal of university education as it can help to equip students with life-long learning skills and promote holistic personal development. However, traditional didactic teaching has not been very successful in achieving this aim. Kember and Leung’s Teaching and Learning Model suggests an interactive learning environment has a strong impact on developing students’ generic capabilities. Metacognitive awareness is also known to be related to generic capability development. This study aimed to assess changes on the development of generic capabilities and metacognitive awareness after the introduction of active learning strategy among nursing students. Methods This study adopted a quasi-experimental single group, matched pre- and posttest design. It was conducted in a school of nursing at a university in Hong Kong. Active learning approaches included the flipped classroom (an emphasis on pre-reading) and enhanced lectures (the breaking down of a long lecture into several mini-lectures and supplemented by interactive learning activities) were introduced in a foundational nursing course. The Capabilities Subscale of the Student Engagement Questionnaire and the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory were administered to two hundred students at the start (T0) and at the end of the course (T1). A paired t-test was performed to examine the changes in general capabilities and metacognitive awareness between T0 and T1. Results A total of 139 paired pre- and post-study responses (69.5 %) were received. Significant improvements were observed in the critical thinking (p < 0.001), creative thinking (p = 0.03), problem-solving (p < 0.001) and communication skills (p = 0.04) with the implementation of active learning. Significant changes were also observed in knowledge of cognition (p < 0.001) and regulation of cognition (p < 0.001) in the metacognitive awareness scales. Conclusions Active learning is a novel and effective teaching approach that can be applied in the nursing education field. It has great potential to enhance students’ development of generic capabilities and metacognitive awareness.

Abstract. This research has been made to know skill of student’s concept by using active learning strategy everyone is teacher here (ETH). Beside that this study aims to measure student’s concept understanding with statistical test between Experimental Class (Active Learning Strategy Everyone Is Teacher Here) and control class (Conventional Learning ). The population was seventh grade of SMPN 3 Lirik consist 94 students in three classes. Sample was took randomly, experiment class ( VII.2 ) and control class ( VII.I ) This research was experiment, the form of this research was Quasi Experimental Design with randomized subject posttest only control group design. based on statistic data processing has been retrieved - t hitung -3,159 smaller than - t table was -2,000 and based on t test has been retrieved -thitung < -t table so Ho rejected and Ha received. So that the writer conclude that skill of math student’s concept understanding by using active learning Strategy Everyone Is Teacher Here (ETH) is better than conventional concept understanding.Keywords: Everyone Is A Teacher Here, Concept Understanding
