Chemistry Students' Perceptions of 'Active Learning'

Chemistry Students' Perceptions of 'Active Learning' Thumbnail


Abstract

Whilst active learning strategies have been gaining increasing attention over recent years, the traditional lecture has remained commonplace in higher education teaching. However, the Covid-19 pandemic has provided stimulus for educators to re-examine the most effective way to teach their subject with spotlight on active learning strategies. This article explores chemistry students’ understanding of the term ‘active learning’; the main features and how this relates to the learning that occurs in lectures. It also encourages contemplation about post-pandemic teaching and learning – should we remove lectures completely or is further consideration required?
