Learning is a system that aims to help the learning process of students, which contains a series of events that are designed, arranged in such a way as to influence and support the learning process of students (Firdaus, 2012). According to Nasution (2000) the learning process is an interaction / process of communication between the teacher and students and between students and students. Intertwined communication should be reciprocal communication created in such a way, so that the message conveyed in the form of the subject matter will be effective and efficient. Students as the subject of learning must play an active role in learning. the activeness of students is assessed from their role in learning, such as asking questions, answering questions, giving responses and others. In addition, the activeness of students is a form of independent learning, namely students trying to learn everything about their own will and ability / business, so that in this case the teacher only acts as a mentor, motivator and facilitator. Therefore, the teacher needs to create an atmosphere of learning that can foster an attitude of collaboration between students and other students. The main problem in learning in formal education (school) today is the low absorption of students. The learning process to this day is still dominated by teachers and does not provide access for students to develop independently through discovery in the process of thinking. According to Dimyati and Mudjiono (2002) the dominance of teachers in the learning process causes students to be passively involved, students are more waiting for the presentation of the teacher rather than looking for and finding their own knowledge, skills and attitudes they need during the learning process. Therefore, it is necessary to apply new learning strategies that can make students actively participate in learning. One active learning strategy developed by Silberman (2011) is true or false active learning strategies. The learning steps in the true or false active learning strategy will activate students from the beginning of learning which will stimulate students to think and motivate students to play an active role in learning activities so that the teacher does not dominate the learning process. This strategy is marked by the teacher making statements that are in accordance with the subject matter, half right and the other half wrong. Then students discuss in their groups to state whether the statement is true or false. By discussing students can exchange opinions. According to Silberman (2011) by listening to various opinions, students will be challenged to think. our brain will do a better learning process if we discuss information with other people. When the learning process is passive, the brain cannot store information properly. In answering questions, students are required to give reasons why they answer correctly and why they answer wrongly. This is so that students do not guess when answering and will make students better understand the material. Then the results of the group discussion will be presented in front of the class, students are given the opportunity to ask questions, answer questions and respond or give opinions. This will activate students more in learning and can train students' courage. According to Silberman (2011), learning activities carried out with the activities of students themselves will cause a knowledge to be more meaningful and can last a long time in memory of students so that the learning outcomes achieved will be better. Based on the results of the study obtained values from the first and second cycles in a row - according (77.33%), and (80.00%).

Customers of a webshop are often presented large assortments, which can lead to customers struggling finding their desired product(s), an issue known as choice overload. In order to overcome this issue, recommender systems are used in webshops to provide personalized product recommendations to customers. Though, model-based recommender systems are not able to provide recommendations to new customers (i.e., cold users). To facilitate recommendations to cold users we investigate multiple active learning strategies, and subsequently evaluate which active learning strategy is able to optimally elicit the preferences from the cold users in a matrix factorization context. Our model is empirically validated using a dataset from the webshop of de Bijenkorf, a Dutch department store. We find that the overall best-performing active learning strategy is PopError, an active learning strategy that measures the variance score for each item.

A growing body of research suggests that students achieve learning outcomes at higher rates when instructors use active-learning methods rather than standard modes of instruction. To investigate how one such method might be used to teach philosophy, we observed two classes that employed Reacting to the Past (hereafter, Reacting), an educational role-immersion game. We chose to investigate Reacting because role-immersion games are considered a particularly effective active-learning strategy. Professors who have used Reacting to teach history, interdisciplinary humanities, and political theory agree that it engages students and teaches general skills like collaboration and communication. We investigated whether it can be effective for teaching philosophical content and skills like analyzing, evaluating, crafting, and communicating arguments in addition to bringing the more general benefits of active learning to philosophy classrooms. Overall, we find Reacting to be a useful tool for achieving these ends. While we do not argue that Reacting is uniquely useful for teaching philosophy, we conclude that it is worthy of consideration by philosophers interested in creative active-learning strategies, especially given that it offers a prepackaged set of flexible, user-friendly tools for motivating and engaging students.

Conducive learning situation is related to the quality of students learning. The creation of a conducive class will avoid students from feeling bored, psychic exhaustion and also the creation of a conducive class that will provide students motivation and learning convernience. In an active learning condition, students do not feel alone solving cases faced in the learning process, but the students can ask the question to other and discuss each other so that their learning load does not occur. With the existence of an active learning strategy, it is hoped that it can grow all the potential possessed by students so that in the end they can optimize their learning outcomes. hance, The teacher as a guide has very important role in Learning process. Teachers must be able to give students motivation to create a process of interaction that is conducive to the learning process in the classroom.

Abstract: Introduction: An extensive literature has demonstrated the benefits of active learning in medical education and has revealed the need for updating the teaching methodologies. Active learning strategies consolidate the theoretical knowledge, while simultaneously encouraging the student´s concrete abilities. Nonetheless, remodeling the pedagogical practice is challenging. Several active learning strategies are available and selecting the most suitable one is often a matter of format, not of content. In this article, we discuss the experience of the ‘Four Corners’ technique in the teaching of Infectious Diseases during the internship at our institution. Experience report: The four corners strategy can be adapted to different topics and should be implemented as follows: 1. pre-activity learning: students receive the supportive material for previous analysis; 2. Preparation of the room: each of the four corners is labeled with a different case vignette; 3. Dividing tasks: the specific assignments are divided among the students; 4. Activity: the students read the case vignette and discuss the questions, while the mediator has an observer’s role, and 5. Debriefing: final discussion with all participants led by the mediator. The entire process takes from 2h30 to 3 hours. Discussion: The educational process emerges from the learner´s experience. Many instructors working in higher education believe they promote critical thinking and active teaching during their classes; however, the percentage of teachers who regularly use active teaching strategies is still low. A range of different active learning strategies have been described and many can be adapted to different scenarios; most approaches change the nature of the learning experience but do not always require a change in the given subject. The Four Corners technique is an active learning strategy that promotes debate and exchange of ideas among students. Conclusion: This experience report describes an active learning strategy for the teaching of Infectious Diseases to medical students. The medical education improvement goes through highlighting the teacher’s role as a mediator of the learning process; proposing new teaching strategies is challenging and requires frequent adjustments. The Four Corners strategy improves student’s engagement with the learning process, and it is an efficient strategy to comprise an extensive theoretical content in a relatively short discussion time.
