Transforming Learning through Active Approaches: A Theoretical and Practical Study in the Field of Education
Keywords:
Active Learning, Educational Transformation, Student Engagement, 21st Century Skills.Abstract
His study focuses on the transformation of learning through active approaches, a method that has gained increasing attention in modern education. The primary aim of this research is to evaluate the impact of active learning approaches on student engagement, the development of 21st-century skills, and the enhancement of understanding and retention of material. Additionally, this study seeks to identify the challenges and obstacles in implementing these methods. This research utilizes a literature review method with content analysis to examine existing literature on active learning, including books, journal articles, and research reports. The study finds that active approaches significantly enhance student engagement and learning outcomes, as well as foster the development of critical, collaborative, and creative skills. However, the implementation of active learning also faces challenges such as limited resources and resistance from some educators. This study is limited by its literature-based approach, meaning it does not include empirical data from field practices. This study offers a significant contribution by integrating various theoretical and empirical perspectives, and provides insights into overcoming challenges in the application of active learning. It also suggests strategies to facilitate educational transformation through more interactive and participatory approaches.
