Scaling Up Active Collaborative Learning for student success
Active learning promotes greater student engagement and higher order thinking by encouraging students to work together to become the main contributors to all discovery and knowledge building processes in class and online.
Our Project focuses on 2 main active learning pedagogies
SCALE-UP
Student-Centred Active Learning Environment with Upside-down Pedagogies is an active, collaborative mode of learning which offers an alternative to didactic and discursive pedagogies like lectures and seminars.
Team-Based Learning
Team-Based Learning is an active, collaborative learning and teaching strategy which uses a special sequence of individual study, group work, immediate feedback and teacher-facilitated discussion and debate to create a motivational framework for students’ learning.
