1.1. Differentiate between active learning and effective teaching according to your own
understanding. (4)
Active learning involves student engagement in the learning process through various hands-on
activities, discussions, and collaborative tasks. This approach encourages students to take
responsibility for their own learning and to actively participate in the classroom. On the other hand,
effective teaching involves the use of various instructional strategies and techniques to facilitate
student learning. It focuses on the teacher's ability to communicate information, facilitate
discussions, provide feedback, and create a positive learning environment.

1.2.1 Identify FIVE (5) practices in Mr. Kruger’s classroom that contradict active
learning theories and approaches? (10)
1. The classroom arrangement in rows of desks facing the front promotes a teacher-centered
approach and limits opportunities for collaborative and interactive learning (Brophy, 2006).
2. The reliance on textbooks and workbooks as primary teaching resources limits the use of varied
and experiential learning materials and resources (Dewey, 1938).
3. The teacher-centered lectures and emphasis on rote learning do not encourage student
engagement, critical thinking, and active participation in the learning process (Vygotsky, 1978).
4. Limited student-made displays and creative projects restrict opportunities for hands-on, project-
based learning and self-expression (Piaget, 1952).
5. The strict daily schedule with set times for subjects may not allow for flexibility and integrated,
cross-curricular learning experiences (Gardner, 1983).

1.2.2. Effective teaching involves a combination of various factors and strategies to facilitate
learning and promote student success. Variables that contribute to effective teaching can be
grouped into several key categories. Having this in mind, share your opinion on three variable that
constitute effective teaching. (10)
1. Engagement and Interaction: Effective teaching involves creating a learning environment where
students are actively engaged and encouraged to participate in discussions, ask questions, and
collaborate with their peers. It is important for teachers to use a variety of interactive teaching
