What is Active learning?


Active learning

Active learning involves engaging employees in activities that promote analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of content. Unlike passive learning methods, active learning requires participation through discussions, problem-solving, and hands-on tasks. This approach not only enhances retention but also fosters critical thinking and collaboration. Incorporating active learning strategies can significantly improve the effectiveness of training programs and drive better performance outcomes.
