Abstract
The past decade has seen an explosion of interest among college faculty in the teaching methods variously grouped under the terms ’active learning’ and ’cooperative learning’. However, even with this interest, there remains much misunderstanding of and mistrust of the pedagogical “movement” behind the words. The majority of all college faculty still teach their classes in the traditional lecture mode. Some of the criticism and hesitation seems to originate in the idea that techniques of active and cooperative learning are genuine alternatives to, rather than enhancements of, professors’ lectures. In this paper, We are providing a response of active learning techniques which were obtained from students.
