Passive Learning / Active Learning

[Payampersa Management of Learning]

Passive Learning / Active Learning
Despite overwhelming research (and common sense) that passive learning
is less effective than active learning, many classes emphasize passive
approaches.

Passive approaches emphasize:

Lectures
Readings
Watching video
Listening to audio
Observing demonstrations
Active approaches emphasize:

Interaction through discussion
Student<->student / faculty<->student interactions
Student presentations
Group projects
Simulations
Problem solving
