Active and Passive Student
Comparison between active & passive learners (block method) All students cannot be the same. This is brought about by the nature of their genes, or because of the environment where they grow in. Friends and families can also greatly influence the nature of a student in learning. Teachers usually identify two distinct types of learners in their classes; active students and passive students. Teachers should be able to know the differences between the two groups of students, so that they can know how to deal with them in class, and how to help both groups succeed academically and in their personal lives as well. Both active and passive students are interested in passing because they would not want to get in trouble, and they would want to succeed in life (McWhorter, 2003).
An active student is usually willing to learn and actively participates in classroom activities. A passive student on the other hand is most likely to be absorbed in his or her own thoughts, without a lot of care for what is happening in class. In extreme cases, a passive learner might be unwilling to learn. An active learner is actively involved in class activities and participates in answering questions, discussions and competitions. This is because such a learner wants to be appreciated for his or her efforts. A passive learner is not actively involved in class activities. He or she is anti-social and will hesitate to express himself or herself in front many people. An active learner will do their assignments, and probably hand in their assignments before the deadline while a passive learner will reluctantly do, and probably hand in their assignments a short while before the deadline or after the deadline for submission has passed (McWhorter, 2003). An active student usually seeks the attention and approval of their teachers and peers. A passive student will do as much as possible to avoid the attention of their teachers or peers.
