Abstract

This chapter introduces active learning and how students in various educational settings can best acquire, apply, create, and share knowledge. The chapter presents multiple forms of active learning that have been documented in the literature and deemed imperative to increase student engagement and deepen their understanding. The chapter also discusses the various perspectives concerning the implementation of active learning strategies in various educational contexts. A particular focus is given to the significance of metacognition as a critical skill that enables students to assess their own learning, and to critically assess sources of information. The chapter presents several suggested active learning strategies that are easy to implement in any classroom setting and are useful to connect classroom instruction, assessment, and management together.
