Active Learning Methods

Have peers observe and provide feedback on each other's teaching or professional practice.

Peer presentation is a process where learners evaluate and provide feedback on each other's presentations, promoting self-reflection and improving presentation skills.

Collaborate in problem-solving activities or projects, with peers assessing each other's problem-solving approaches and solutions.

Assign learners to evaluate and provide feedback on the progress, quality, and effectiveness of each other's group projects.

Form small groups where learners share their reflections, insights, and experiences, providing feedback and support to each other.

Form small groups where learners exchange written work and provide written or verbal feedback on each other's drafts.

Have learners research and review technological tools or applications, sharing their findings and recommendations with peers.

Use video recordings of performances or presentations for peers to analyse and provide feedback on specific aspects.

The perform an analysis method involves breaking down complex tasks into smaller components and analyzing each one to improve understanding and performance.

Performance assessment is a form of evaluation that measures a person's ability to complete a specific task or demonstrate a skill. It focuses on observing how well someone can perform in real-life situations, rather than simply testing their knowledge or understanding. Performance assessments often involve hands-on activities, projects, presentations, or simulations to assess practical skills and competencies.

Performance evaluation is a process where an individual's job performance is assessed against preset criteria to determine how well they are performing in their role. It involves reviewing an employee's strengths and areas for improvement, setting goals, providing feedback, and identifying opportunities for growth. Performance evaluations help both employees and organizations understand performance levels, set clear expectations, and support continuous development and career advancement.

Provide regular feedback on the professional's performance, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement.

Professionals or students develop action plans to address performance gaps identified through assessments, and progress is tracked and assessed.

Supervisors or managers provide feedback on professionals' job performance, competencies, and goal attainment.

Create and update personal development plans to outline goals, strategies, and actions for self-improvement.

The podcast method delivers educational content through audio recordings that allow learners to absorb information at their own pace and convenience.

Polling is where you can ask your learners questions and you can instantly receive responses during class or over a period of time with digital / online tools. You can use online/mobile polling with phones (smart and text-only), computers and tablets or a show of hands and coloured cubes to show the response.

Have the student create a portfolio of their work, including projects, assignments, and evidence of their achievements during the placement or apprenticeship.

Students curate a collection of their best work over a period of time to showcase their learning and growth.

Have the learner compile a portfolio or complete a project to showcase their learning progress, achievements, and application of knowledge.

Administer practical assessments to gauge the student's ability to apply theoretical knowledge and skills in real-world scenarios.

Praxis refers to the integration of theory and practice. It involves applying knowledge, critically reflecting on experiences, and taking informed action. Freire emphasizes the importance of praxis in transformative education, as it enables learners to actively engage with the world and become agents of change.

Presentation is the act of sharing information with an audience in a structured and engaging manner. It involves organizing content in a clear and logical way, using visual aids like slides or diagrams to support key points, and delivering the information effectively through speech and body language. Presentations can be used to inform, persuade, or teach others about a particular topic. The goal is to effectively communicate your message and engage the audience to ensure that they understand and retain the information being shared.

Ask the learner to deliver presentations or demonstrations showcasing their acquired skills and knowledge to assess their ability to communicate and apply what they've learned.

Presentation or demonstration is a way of showing or explaining something to an audience, usually using visual aids such as slides, videos, or physical examples. It helps learners to convey their learning by summarising it into presentable information, illustrations of concepts, or to show their capabilities of skills in a clear and organized manner. Presentations can be used in classrooms, meetings, or conferences to engage and educate the audience effectively.
