TEACHER ROOM: Active teaching methods for more interactive classes

Becoming a teacher does not mean having to stick to monotonous teaching methods, right? The teacher must also be able to keep up with the times so that the teaching process is not left behind.

Active learning methods are constructed according to the "teacher = student" interaction scheme. It is clear that these are methods that involve the equal participation of teachers and students in the learning process. That is, the children act as equal participants and creators of the lesson.

Objectives of active teaching methods:

• activation of thought, and the student must be active;
• a long time of activity: the student does not work occasionally, but throughout the learning process;
• independence to work and find solutions to tasks;
• motivation to learn.

Active learning methods and techniques

In the teaching process, the teacher can choose as an active method and use a combination of several. But success depends on the system and the correlation of the methods and tasks chosen.

Classification of teaching methods

• By nature of educational activities: reproductive, problematic, research, search, explanatory-illustrative, heuristic, etc.
• By the degree of activity of the teacher and the students: active and passive;
• By source of educational material: verbal, visual, practical;

The most common methods of active learning:

✰ Presentations

SourceAre the simplest and most accessible method to use in class. This is a demonstration of slides prepared by the students themselves on the subject.

✰ Case technology:

SourceUsed in pedagogy since the last century. It is built on the analysis of simulated or real situations and the search for a solution.

✰ Conference of problems:

SourceUnlike the traditional, the transfer of knowledge during the problem conference is not passive. That is, the teacher does not present ready statements, but only raises questions and indicates a problem. The rules derive for the students themselves. This method is quite complex and requires that students have some experience of logical reasoning.

✰ Didactical games:

SourceUnlike business games, didactic games are strictly regulated and do not involve the development of a logical chain to solve the problem. The game methods can be attributed to interactive teaching methods. Everything depends on the choice of the game. Therefore, popular games, performances, competitions, are receptions of the arsenal of interactive methods, since they involve the interaction of students with each other.

✰ The basket method:

SourceIt is based on a simulation of the situation. For example, a student should act as a guide and take a tour of the historical museum. At the same time, your task is to collect and transmit information about each exhibition.

✰ Questions and answers

SourceWith the question and answer model, all students will participate actively in teaching and learning activities. In addition to being able to improve learning skills, this method can also be used to dilute the atmosphere of the class. He casually dropped a question or two, and the class became more alive with interactive discussions.

All active teaching methods are designed to: teach the child to learn. That is, the truth should not be presented "on a silver platter". It is much more important to develop a critical thinking based on the analysis of the situation, the independent search for information, build a logical chain and take a weighted and reasoned decision.
