This strategy emphasizes the use of various techniques and methods to involve students in the learning process actively.

  1. Enhances Critical Thinking

Active learning strategies require students to think actively and critically. This approach encourages students to seek solutions to problems, make decisions, and analyze information. It helps students process and retain information much better than conventional teaching methods. Active learning strategies provide students a chance to discuss, debate, and challenge ideas, which enables them to think critically.

  1. Improves Motivation

Active learning strategies evoke student interest in the subject and promote intrinsic motivation. When students are actively involved in the learning process, they are more likely to develop a strong sense of responsibility, ownership, and commitment towards the subject. Active learning strategies make learning more interactive and fun, which enhances motivation and encourages students to pursue their academic goals.

  1. Increases Collaboration and Social Skills

Active learning strategies promote collaboration and teamwork. When students work together to solve a problem, they develop their social skills and learn how to work in a group. This learning approach provides students with an opportunity to learn from their peers, share their ideas and perspectives, and build relationships that can be beneficial in the future.

  1. Encourages Personalization and Creativity

Active learning strategies enable students to personalize their learning approach to their individual needs and preferences. This approach encourages students to think outside the box and use their creativity to find solutions to problems. It provides students with an opportunity to pursue their interests and explore various ways of learning, making learning a more exciting and engaging experience.

Active learning approach provides students with an opportunity to practice their skills and reinforce what they have learned, which enhances retention.

Active learning strategies have several benefits in promoting student engagement, motivation, and achievement. This approach enhances critical thinking, boosts motivation, promotes collaboration and social skills, encourages personalization and creativity, and fosters long-term retention. Active learning strategies make learning more interactive and fun, which helps to create a positive learning environment that enhances student achievement.
