3. Introduction: Why active learning strategies? Active learning strategies can turn passive, unengaging material into memorable learning experiences.  Active learning is an educational approach that seeks to engage participants directly in the learning process.  Rather than learning passively, like listening to a lecture, learners actively engage in their own learning, often through group discussions, games, role-play and more practical experiential activities. As Charles Bonwell and James Eison noted in their  1991 report ,  active learning is all about getting learners to think about their own learning and do something other than simply listen and take in information.

4. The ICAP framework categorizes learning activities based on the follow kinds of cognitive engagement: Interactive : Collaborative engagement with peers, leading to co-construction of knowledge. Constructive : Learners generate new ideas or understanding beyond the given information. Active : Direct manipulation or use of instructional materials. Passive : Receiving information without overt engagement. ICAP Framework
