What we won’t see or talk about…

Students and instructors in motion

Activity for the sake of activity

Abandonment of lecture and presentation

Learning that stops at “knowing”

Page 4: Active Learning: From the Outside In

Active learning is…

Anything that involves students in doing things and thinking about the things they are doing – C. Bonwell & J. Eison

Anything that students do in a classroom other than merely passively listening to an instructor's lecture. - Paulson & Faust, California State University, Los Angeles

Active learning is… Acquisition of new

knowledge and skills that…

– Links to (even if it challenges or reassesses) prior knowledge

– Is retained (becomes available from memory)

– Can be applied flexibly and appropriately to new situations

Active learning requires…

Sensory inputs Repeated exposures Organizers / patterns Relevance to individual’s

prior knowledge Challenge / attention /

interest Rehearsal and elaboration Opportunities for

Active learning:Applying what you

know The Case of Mr. M.

Eric Mazur, Harvard physics

http://mazur-www.harvard.edu/

Page 13: Active Learning: From the Outside In

Why does it work?

What Professor Mazur found in his own classroom research in the early 1990s has been repeated in hundreds of classrooms and across many disciplines. Active learning strategies work to engage students and ensure that they learn.

Would your advice improve on or expand Mr. M’s own solutions?
