TP Task 2

An active learning environment engages students directly with the material through activities that promote interaction, like group work and debates. This keeps students engaged and shifts the focus from the teacher to the student. As students interact with and apply the content, they can quickly develop higher-order thinking skills and a deeper understanding compared to simple memorization. Active learning is also beneficial because it links to the inquiry cycle as students clarify, question, apply and consolidate new knowledge.

What is an active learning environment? What are its benefits? How does it link to the
inquiry cycle?
Active learning environment means students engage with the material, participate in the
class, and collaborate with each other ("Promoting Active," n.d.). Active learning has
numerous benefits because it keeps students engaged as well as the active learning is
beneficial because it shifts the emphasis on learning from the teacher to the student.
Students are constantly interacting with the material and making a personal connection to
the content. In doing this, they quickly move from simple short-term retention to utilizing
higher-order thinking skills. This helps them develop a stronger understanding of the
material and apply it in real-world scenarios ("What Is Active," 2013).
