1. Critically analyze and synthesize theoretical foundations, empirical research, and case studies that support active learning methodologies.
Learning Targets:
1. Identify foundational theories and models, such as constructivism and experiential learning, that underpin active learning.
2. Synthesize empirical research findings comparing active learning with traditional instruction methods.
3. Evaluate multiple real-world case studies documenting the implementation and outcomes of active learning strategies.
4. Critique and relate theoretical frameworks to practical classroom scenarios using evidence-based examples.
5. Integrate advanced scholarly articles and research data to construct a holistic view of active learning.
