QUESTION 1: (25)
1.1. Differentiate between active learning and effective teaching according to your own
understanding. (4)
Active learning involves students being actively engaged in the learning process, where they
participate in discussions, problem-solving activities, and hands-on experiences. It focuses on
students taking responsibility for their own learning and encourages them to think critically and
apply their knowledge to real-life situations.
Effective teaching, on the other hand, refers to the ability of the teacher to facilitate learning in a
way that engages and motivates students. It involves creating a positive and inclusive learning
environment, delivering well-structured and organized lessons, providing feedback, and adapting
teaching methods to meet the diverse needs of students. Effective teaching also encourages student
participation and supports their academic and personal development.
Overall, active learning places emphasis on the student’s involvement in the learning process,
whereas effective teaching focuses on the teacher’s ability to facilitate and enhance that learning
experience. Both are crucial in supporting student achievement and success in education.

interaction or collaboration among students, which is a key aspect of active learning.
2. The reliance on textbooks and workbooks as primary teaching resources limits the use of active
learning strategies that promote hands-on, experiential learning.
3. The teacher-centered lectures and limited student interaction do not allow for active participation
and engagement in the learning process.
4. The emphasis on rote learning and memorization of facts and definitions does not encourage
critical thinking or inquiry-based learning, which are important components of active learning.
