Modern vs Old Style of Teaching

Over the past several decades the world has encountered some exceptional changes. The invention of the internet and social media have influenced every aspect of our lives including education primarily and conducting effective lessons. In contrast to the past, today's learning methods and objectives are completely different. The modern education system is concentrated on upbringing such a generation that is flexible and creative, can solve problems and work in groups and teams, make decisions and think critically. Solely knowledge is no longer enough to achieve success in the rapidly developing and unpredictable world in which we live

The Role of a Teacher

Along with the objectives, the role of teachers has also been changed. In active learning classrooms, teachers work as facilitators - instead of delivering knowledge to the students, the teacher helps learners to acquire essential skills and obtain the knowledge themselves.

Classrooms are no longer teacher-centred and the students no longer compete with each other. Conversely, they learn in an Active Classroom Environment.

Active Learning and Teaching Methods

Important Notice

The Active Learning Activities listed below are the most popular and effective methods used by different subject teachers all over the world to conduct interesting, beneficial and enjoyable lessons.

The activities are designed to help a child develop their essential skills and prepare them for future challenges.

However, please note that a perfect method, suitable for all types of classrooms, doesn't exist, thereby teachers have to be creative, use their imagination and, in some cases, modify the activity or instructions to ensure the effectiveness of the lesson.
