Active Learning Is the Key of Success in University
Many students still play the traditional role in the university when they are in the classroom; they focus from the teachers and textbooks instead of themselves. Some of students are visual learners that need to see to understand; while others need to hear or verbalize information. Others are hands-on, kinesthetic learners. Some learners prefer to work alone, while some like to teach each other in small groups. Some need time to quietly reflect, while others need to move and be active. So the useful way to succeed in university should be choosing the most appropriate way for you, Active learning is a general term for teaching and learning strategies that engage and involve students in the learning process, we might think of active learning as an approach to instruction in which students engage the material they study through reading, writing, talking, listening, and reflecting. Active learning stands in contrast to "standard" modes of instruction in which teachers do most of the talking and students are passive, it can lead you to succeed in university study.
One of the most important things in university classroom is to understand the concept of lecture and many student got problems on this issue. Figure 1 taken from Laws et al. (1999) shows that active engagement methods surpass traditional instruction for improving conceptual understanding of basic physics concepts. The differences between new methods (active learning) and traditional methods (passive learning) are obviously. The benefits of student engagement improve the quality of lecture, it’s a key element of active learning which introducing the interactive between teachers and students.
