            Universities are expected to educate skilled graduates who possess great problem-solving s

            is possible when appropriate methods of teaching are chosen and students are active and in
            teaching-learning process. Many years of research proves that students should do more in c
            listen. They should read, write, discuss and engage in problem-solving activities. Most im

            actively engaged, students need to undertake higher-order thinking tasks such as analysis,
            evaluation. Thanks to active learning, not only do we improve students’ participation in c
            develop their core transversal competencies.


            During the workshop we will attempt to answer the following questions:

            • What is active learning? What are its advantages and disadvantages?
            • How can I activate my students during a lecture/seminar? 
            • What teaching strategies promote active learning? How to use them effectively?


            If you have asked yourself the exact same questions or you just struggle with implementing
            in your class, register for the workshop and let us explore this topic together.


            Learning outcomes:
            • Participants define the principles of active learning and apply these concepts to reflec

              their own teaching practices.
            • Participants analyze both the positive and negative impacts of active learning on studen
              using real-world examples and case studies.

            • Participants evaluate and select appropriate active learning strategies for different gr
              emphasizing practical approaches for both small and large classes.
            • Participants critically evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of active learning str

              problem-based learning, cooperative learning, Eric Mazur’s peer instruction, and the Fli
              model.
            • Participants distinguish between low- and high-order thinking skills as per Bloom's Taxo

              to incorporate these insights into the design and implementation of active learning acti
              teaching.


            Competences developed in the programme:
            The programme develops competences falling under Pillar 1 (Learning and teaching planning 
            Pillar 2 (Managing the learning and teaching process) of the Framework for Effective Teach

            particular, it focuses on the following competences falling under Pillar 2:
            • The teacher utilizes a variety of strategies that promote student active learning.
            • The teacher guides students to take responsibility for their own learning.
