Short attention span? Lack of motivation? Aristotle had the answer many centuries ago: what we have to learn, we learn by doing!
For decades, there has been evidence that classroom techniques designed to get students to participate in the learning process produce better educational outcomes at virtually all levels. Let’s put this idea into practice!
This course will guide participants to introduce meaningful activities and games in their classroom thereby creating an active learning environment. The result? Attention and retention on the part of the students will increase substantially!
Participants will get a deeper insight into active learning strategies that involve learning by doing rather than sitting, listening, and repeating. For instance, daily activities will include, among others, learning through play, role play, peer teaching, and body-play learning.
By the end of the course, course participants will discover the value of teaching and learning through useful activities and games.
Take this knowledge to enhance your students’ motivation and engagement back home and into your classrooms!
