Active Learning Process by Rosenberg et al. (2013)
Active learning is an instructional approach that involves engaging learners in the
learning process more directly than in traditional methods. This process
emphasizes the role of learners as active participants who contribute to their own
learning experiences through activities that promote higher-order thinking skills
such as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.

o Example: A project on reducing plastic waste in the school, where
learners conduct surveys, analyze data, and develop action plans to
minimize plastic usage.
2. Simulation Activities:
o Description: Use simulations that replicate real-world environmental
problems, allowing learners to experiment with different solutions in
a controlled environment.

learners make decisions about conservation strategies and observe

environmental centers where learners can observe environmental
issues firsthand and brainstorm potential solutions.

solving techniques, such as brainstorming, root cause analysis, and
decision-making processes.
