Abstract

This chapter will focus on active learning and its application from the early years through adolescence. It will explore effective and impactful approaches and methods that promote critical thinking, engagement, and a love of learning in students of all ages. Active learning is not a brand-new idea; in fact, an early definition of the strategy describes it as “instructional activities involving students in doing things and thinking about what they are doing.” Therefore, rather than just disseminating knowledge, active learning tactics encourage students to partake in activities that call for higher-order thinking, such as reading, talking, and writing. They typically emphasize the value of having pupils reflect on their own attitudes and ideals as well.
