问题    Active learning occurs when a learner takes some responsibility for the development of the activity, emphasizing that a sense of ownership and personal involvement is the key to successful learning.

   Unless the work that learners do is seen to be important to them and to have purpose and unless their ideas, contributions and findings are valued, little of benefit is learned.
    【B1】______It can involve reading, writing, listening, talking or working with tools, equipment and materials, such as paint, wood, chemicals, and so on. In a simple sense, it is learning by doing, by contrast with being told.
    【B2】______Experiential learning is also learning by doing but with the additional feature of reflection upon both action and the results of action: only where pupils are " engaged actively and purposively in their own learning is the term experiential appropriate". Both active learning and experiential learning contribute to meaningful learning.
    【B3】______ As a teacher, they enable you to spend more time with groups or individuals, which allows better-quality formative assessment and feedback to take place. Active learning can also enhance your support for learners with special educational needs. Activity methods encourage autonomous learning and problem-solving skills, important to both academic and vocationally based work. There is, of course, an extra demand on you in the planning and preparation of lessons. The advantages of active learning to pupils include greater, personal satisfaction, more interaction with peers, promotion of shared activity and team work, greater opportunities to work with a range of pupils , and opportunities for all members of the class to contribute and respond. It can encourage mutual respect and appreciation of the viewpoint of others.
    【B4】______The proverb "Tell me, and I will forget. Show me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I will understand" was reformulated by a prominent educationalist as "I do and I am even more confused". The essential step to learning and understanding is reflection through discussion with others, especially the teachers: such discussions involve " thinking" as well as recalling: that is, experiential learning.
    【B5】______By promoting activities that engage pupils and require them to participate in the task from the outset, teachers encourage an approach to learning that is both skills-based and attitude-based. Active learning methods promote habits of learning that it is hoped are valuable in the workplace, the home and generally enhance pupils’ capability to cope with everyday life. School can be a place where pupils learn to do things well and in certain ways, thereby developing skills that are used throughout life. For example, pupils learn to consult a dictionary or a thesaurus in book form, as part of a word processing program or online in order to find meanings or to check their spelling and grammar. These skills become habits, capable of reinforcement and development. Reinforcement leads to improved performance. However, unless teachers can engage pupils with their need to know, learning is done under sufferance, leading to problems. Such problems may include poor recall of anything learned or rejection of learning tasks, which in turn may lead to behavior problems.
