What is active learning?

Active learning is when learners

are engaged in more activities

than just listening.

They are involved in dialogue,

debate, writing and problemsolving, as well as higher-order

thinking. Bonwell and Eison

Cooperative learning

Five key components:

1. Positive interdependence: each individual

depends on and is accountable to the others

2. Individual accountability: each person in the

group learns the materials

3. Promotive interaction: group members help

one another, share information, clarify

4. Social skills: emphasis on interpersonal skills

5. Group processing: assessing how effectively

they are working with one another
