Active Learning

            Active learning refers to techniques where students do more than simply listen to a lecture. Students are doing something including discovering, processing, and applying information. Many students think that school is something scaring and boring place, it can be a burden to the students and they won’t comfort study in the class, so they cannot concentrate to the lesson that is given by their teacher. To solve this problem education practicioners found new method that they think more educative, this method is called active learning method. The point of active learning method are active, effective, and fun learning.         

          Active learning techniques can occur in class or outside of class. Active learning can be used with all levels of students from first year through graduate students.
