Article No: 4 : Why active Learning?
When I hear I forget,
when I see I remember,
when I practice, I learn,
When I learn, I analyze,
When I analyze, I synthesize,
When I synthesize, I evaluate,
When I evaluate, I create
and innovate.
Learning is acquiring new or
modifying existing knowledge,
behavior, skills, values or
preferences.and may involve
synthesizing different types of
information. The ability to learn is
possessed by humans, animals
and some machines.
Progress over time tends to follow
learning curves. Human learning may
occur as part of education,
personal development schooling, or
training. It may be goal-oriented
and may be aided by motivation.
Learning is a step-by-step process
in which an individual experiences
permanent, lasting changes
in knowledge, behaviors, or ways of
processing the world. Almost every
action we take is the result of past
learning yet, for
some people,
learning still remains an activity
undertaken in, or
associated with, an
educational context.
It is the acquisition of knowledge
or skills through study, experience,
or being taught.
In the process of learning, learners
experience,memorize and understand.
Students need to be provided with data
and materials necessary to focus
their thinking and interaction in
the lesson for
the process of analyzing
the information.Teachers need to
be actively involved
in directing
and guiding the students’ analysis
of the information.
It requires active problem
solving by
students in finding patterns in the
information through their own
investigation and analysis.
With continued practice in these
processes,
students learn not only
the content of the lesson but also
develop many other
skills.
It enhances creative aspect of
experience.
It gives reality for learning.
Uses all available resources.
Provides varied experiences to
the students to facilitate
the acquisition of knowledge,
experience, skills and values.
Meaning:
Activity
-based teaching and learning
method is a technique adopted by
a teacher to emphasize his or her
method of teaching through activity
in which the students participate
rigorously and
bring about efficient
learning experiences.
It is a child-centered approach.
It is a method in which the
child is actively involved in
participating mentally and physically.
Learning by doing is the main focus
in
this method. Learning by doing
is imperative in successful learning
since
it is well proved that more
the senses are stimulated, more
a person learns and
longer he/she
retains.
In an
activity based teaching
method,learners willingly with
enthusiasm internalize and
implement concepts relevant to
their needs. So our understanding
on the
activity method by now
should mean any learning that
is carried out with a purpose
in a social environment, involving
physical and mental action,
stimulating for creative action or
expression.
Experiencing:
watching,
observing, comparing,
describing, questioning, discussing,
investigating,
reporting, collecting,
selecting, testing, trying, listening,
reading, drawing,
calculating,
imitating, modeling, playing,
acting, taking on roles, talking,
writing about what one can see,
hear, feel, taste, experimenting
and imagining.
Memorizing:
Sequencing ordering, finding
regularities and patterns, connect
with given knowledge, use
different modes of perception,
depict. While memorizing
helps commit to the memory,
understanding the concept
helps us gain knowledge and
appreciate our
education.
When you understand a concept,
you will remember it for years
whereas when you memorize
the same, you will remember
it for merely for
days and
gradually forget it.
Memorization differ from
understanding?
Memorizing is fantastic and
helps you learn information
but without understanding
the material, you have
absolutely nothing.
...
Understanding is being able
to apply the equation.
But in order for
you to
understand the equations,
you have to remember the
information
you want to
apply.
Understanding:
Structuring,
ordering, classifying,
constructing, solving, planning,
predicting, transferring,
applying knowledge,
formulating ones individual
understanding, interpreting,
summarizing, evaluating,
judging, explaining
and teaching.
(Old Traditional Method):
The
grammar–translation method
is a method of teaching a
foreign language derived from
the classical
(sometimes called traditional)
method of teaching.
Greek and Latin. In grammar–
translation classes,students
learn
grammatical rule and then apply
those rules by translating
sentences between the target
language and the native language.
The
grammar–translation method
originated from the practice of
teaching Latin. In the early 1500s,
Latin was the most widely studied
foreign
language due to its
prominence in government,
academia, and business.
There are two main goals to
grammar–translation classes.
One is to
develop students’ reading
ability to a level where they can
read
literature in the target
language. The other is to develop
students’ general mental discipline.
Grammar–translation classes are
usually conducted in the students’
native language.
Grammar
rules are learned
deductively students learn
grammar rules by rote,
and then practice the rules
by doing grammar drills and
translating sentences to and
from the target language.
Active Learning:
The
active learning or the
activity-based learning method
is applied in
the USA.schools.
It depends on the participation
of the learner during
the lesson
presentation.
In it, the learner plays his active
role and practices what he learns
through real situations that lead
to a communication between
the learner and himself, the
learner and the
teacher,
the learner and other learners,
the learner and the course,
or
between the learner and
the environment that surrounds
him inside and
outside class
in order to qualify himself to
use his language in real
life.
Active learning is "anything
that involves students in doing
things and thinking about
the things they are doing"
Active learning is a process whereby
students engage in activities,
such as
reading, writing, discussion, or problem
solving that promote
analysis,synthesis,
and evaluation of class content.
Cooperative
learning, problem-based
learning, and the use of case methods
and simulations are some approaches
that promote active learning. This
section provides links to bibliographies,
research summaries, articles,
and other
resources about active learning.
I wait for your comments,
Ads, Branding,videos,
researches, posts and links.
Thanks a lot
