Active Learning

• “Active learning involves providing opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen, write, read, and reflect on the content, ideas, issues, and concerns of an academic subject.”

• Meyers, C., Jones, T.B. (1993) “Promoting Active Learning”, Jossey-Bass Higher and Adult Education Series

Active Learning

• If a teacher could shift the focus of his delivery of course material to the engagement of students with the course material, then that teacher would be promoting active learning, move from being a "sage on the stage" to becoming a "guide on the side". The goal of the teacher should be to facilitate learning; Active learning techniques allow the teacher to achieve that goal.

Think-Pair-Share

Page 5: 12 ACTIVE LEARNING Tools. Active Learning “Active learning involves providing opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen, write, read,

Think-Pair-Share

• THINK individually about a topic or problem• Work in a PAIR to discuss the topic or

problem• SHARE your ideas with the rest of the

class

Active Learning

• Different people respond better to different active learning techniques or tools, so we’ll look at a range of tools and it is up to you to find a tool that best suits you.

• We’ll look at three kinds of tools:– Individual Tools - easy to learn but powerful– Group Tools – encourages students to work in groups– Full-class Tools – getting the whole class to work together

Page 7: 12 ACTIVE LEARNING Tools. Active Learning “Active learning involves providing opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen, write, read,

Individual Tools

• Individual Tools are easy to use but can be highly effective in terms of encouraging reflection, and independent learning.

Page 8: 12 ACTIVE LEARNING Tools. Active Learning “Active learning involves providing opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen, write, read,

Group Tools

• Group Tools encourage students to work in groups, and can help with communication, turn-taking, and creativity.

Page 9: 12 ACTIVE LEARNING Tools. Active Learning “Active learning involves providing opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen, write, read,

Full-class Tools

• Full-class tools get the whole class working together, and expose students to a range of perspectives, and can encourage competition and innovation.

The Pause Procedure

Page 12: 12 ACTIVE LEARNING Tools. Active Learning “Active learning involves providing opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen, write, read,

The Pause Procedure

• Probably the simplest and most effective active learning technique (imo/ime).

• It simply consists of taking a break from lecturing after 20-30 minutes into the lesson, and getting the students to do something for a few minutes.

• There’s lots of things you can get them to do.

Page 13: 12 ACTIVE LEARNING Tools. Active Learning “Active learning involves providing opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen, write, read,

The Pause Procedure

• Write down a list of the three keys ideas we have covered in the class so far.– Give them 2 minutes to do it– This is very effective, it gets them to reflect on the

topic, and reflect on their participation in the class– It is worth getting them to then discuss in pairs

what they thought were to top three ideas (many will have different ideas), and this can lead to very engaging conversations

– It might also be worth sharing with the full class

Page 14: 12 ACTIVE LEARNING Tools. Active Learning “Active learning involves providing opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen, write, read,

The Pause Procedure

• Review their notes and put question marks beside anything they aren’t sure about.– Give them 2 minutes to do it– This is very effective, it gets them to reflect on the

topic, and reflect on their participation in the class– It is worth getting them to then discuss in pairs

what they had issues with (many will have different issues), and they can teach each other

– It might also be worth sharing with the full class

Page 15: 12 ACTIVE LEARNING Tools. Active Learning “Active learning involves providing opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen, write, read,

The Pause Procedure

• Create 2-4 questions about the topic.– Give them 2 minutes to do it– This is very effective, it gets them to reflect on the

topic, and reflect on their participation in the class– It is worth getting them to then discuss in pairs

their questions (many will have different ideas), and this can lead to very engaging conversations

– It might also be worth sharing with the full class

Page 16: 12 ACTIVE LEARNING Tools. Active Learning “Active learning involves providing opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen, write, read,

The Pause Procedure

• Pose them a question.– Give them 2 minutes to answer it– It is worth getting them to then discuss in pairs

their answers (many will have different ideas), and this can lead to very engaging conversations

– It might also be worth sharing with the full class

Page 17: 12 ACTIVE LEARNING Tools. Active Learning “Active learning involves providing opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen, write, read,

The Pause Procedure

• Give them a crossword to do.– Give them 4 minutes to do it– It is worth getting them to then discuss in pairs

their answers (many will have different ideas), and this can lead to very engaging conversations

– It might also be worth sharing with the full class

Headings

Page 19: 12 ACTIVE LEARNING Tools. Active Learning “Active learning involves providing opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen, write, read,

Headings

• Students are given a handout with no headings or subheadings, but with space for these.

• Students read the handout and decide headings that summarise what follows in that section of text in the form of a statement.

• You can adapt an existing handout by removing existing headings, and or by asking students to write a ‘heading’ for each paragraph in the margin.

One-Minute Paper

Page 21: 12 ACTIVE LEARNING Tools. Active Learning “Active learning involves providing opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen, write, read,

One-Minute Paper

• Students spend a minute writing on a topic or in response to a question that you've developed for the session.

• You are asking participants to move from one level of understanding to another, from presentation of new ideas to application of ideas.

Fact Rounding

Page 23: 12 ACTIVE LEARNING Tools. Active Learning “Active learning involves providing opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen, write, read,

Fact Rounding

• The Fact rounding technique works as follows, towards the end of a lesson the students are asked to recall one fact from the material covered. Another student should not repeat a fact already mentioned and the activity should continue until all the lesson material has been covered.

Active Reading

?

Page 26: 12 ACTIVE LEARNING Tools. Active Learning “Active learning involves providing opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen, write, read,

Active Reading• Students are given an unfamiliar piece of

text. In pairs or small groups they are asked to:– Formulate important questions the text

should be able to answer, or they hope the text will answer.–Read the text, highlighting key points,–Discuss the key points and agree answers to

the questions formulated in ‘1’.

Random Pictures

Page 28: 12 ACTIVE LEARNING Tools. Active Learning “Active learning involves providing opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen, write, read,

Random Pictures

• Some students look at a picture, and have to describe it to other students who haven’t seen the picture. They can’t say what the picture is, but they can describe the geometry of the image.

• For example:

Page 30: 12 ACTIVE LEARNING Tools. Active Learning “Active learning involves providing opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen, write, read,

Step 1.

• Tell the person to;• Draw an upside isosceles triangle

Page 32: 12 ACTIVE LEARNING Tools. Active Learning “Active learning involves providing opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen, write, read,

Step 2.

• Tell the person to;• Draw a line bisecting the angle on the bottom,

this line reaches one third of the way up to the centre of the triangle

Page 34: 12 ACTIVE LEARNING Tools. Active Learning “Active learning involves providing opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen, write, read,

Step 2.

• Tell the person to;• Sitting on the top of the line add a circle half

the width of the triangle at this point, and in the circle add three black circles in an inverted triangle shape (each circle about 1/5 of the size of the main circle).

Page 36: 12 ACTIVE LEARNING Tools. Active Learning “Active learning involves providing opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen, write, read,

Step 3.

• Tell the person to;• Add two squares approximately the same size

as the circle in the middle, each overlaid on the top two corners of the triangle

Page 38: 12 ACTIVE LEARNING Tools. Active Learning “Active learning involves providing opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen, write, read,

Step 4.

• Tell the person to;• Add two semi-circles (or arches) to the top of

the centre circle, each above the black points inside the circle
