Question
How do I provide an opportunity to engage with content?
Answer
You've likely heard the phrase ACTIVE LEARNING before, but might not be familiar with what exactly it is. Active learning includes any "activities that students do to construct knowledge and understanding." These types of activities frequently engage students in higher-order levels of thinking. There are decades of robust evidence that support including active learning strategies as a way to increase learning, as opposed to lecture-only courses (Freeman et al., 2014). Additionally, active learning promotes learning for all students and is an effective strategy for creating a more equitable classroom (Haak et al., 2011; Law et al, 1999); Schneider, 2000) (Brame, 2016).
