Active Learning: Activity or
Action?
Colin Simpson
University of Gloucestershire
Business Management graduates
• Typical Business and Management honours
graduates should have an enhanced ability “to
develop and apply their own perspectives to
their studies, to deal with uncertainty and
complexity, to explore alternative solutions, to
demonstrate critical evaluation and to
integrate theory and practice in a wide range
of situations.” (HEA, 2007)
Active Learning
• Active Learning pedagogies are “action-
centred” (Biesta, 2006) since they afford
students opportunities to respond in unique
ways to learning opportunities rather than
reproducing the subject matter of a pre-
determined curriculum.
What is Active Learning?
• Simulations
• Group projects
• Problem-Based-Learning
• Investigative Projects
• Case Studies
Constructivist origins of AL
• AL versus teacher-centred pedagogies
• Knowledge construction versus
transmission
• Collaborative versus individual learning
• Good questions versus finding answers
• Negotiation versus transaction
• Cognitive puzzlement versus gradualism
• Managerial messes versus structure
• Process or practice versus outcome
Joint Action
• Conversational Realities
• Rhetorical-responsive language use in messy
indeterminate contexts
• Relationality and authorship
• The participatory nature of meaning construction
in complex problem solving
• Meta-cognitive skills and performance
• Reflection on formal and informal theories of
knowledge construction
Group work processes
• Planning
• Choosing group members
• Division of tasks
• Monitoring
• Coordination of individual contributions
• Discussion, debates and negotiation
• Preparation and mutual support
• Evaluating
• Peer review of contributions
• Task completion
AL as action-centred pedagogy
• Activity can be seen as:
• Imposed (teacher as authority)
• Predictable (a series of set tasks)
• Unreflective (students on autopilot)
• Action involves:
• Authorship (students pose their own questions)
• Indeterminacy (unstructured contexts)
• Metacognition (conscious reflection on skills)
Questions
• Which AL pedagogies are used/designed into the
courses at your institution?
• What are the experiences of teachers and students on
courses which use AL at your institution?
• Any other questions?

construction, action etc.

Activity or Action - Colin Simpson

  • 1. Active Learning: Activity or Action? Colin Simpson University of Gloucestershire
  • 2. Business Management graduates • Typical Business and Management honours graduates should have an enhanced ability “to develop and apply their own perspectives to their studies, to deal with uncertainty and complexity, to explore alternative solutions, to demonstrate critical evaluation and to integrate theory and practice in a wide range of situations.” (HEA, 2007)
  • 3. Active Learning • Active Learning pedagogies are “action- centred” (Biesta, 2006) since they afford students opportunities to respond in unique ways to learning opportunities rather than reproducing the subject matter of a pre- determined curriculum.
  • 4. What is Active Learning? • Simulations • Group projects • Problem-Based-Learning • Investigative Projects • Case Studies
  • 5. Constructivist origins of AL • AL versus teacher-centred pedagogies • Knowledge construction versus transmission • Collaborative versus individual learning • Good questions versus finding answers • Negotiation versus transaction • Cognitive puzzlement versus gradualism • Managerial messes versus structure • Process or practice versus outcome
  • 6. Joint Action • Conversational Realities • Rhetorical-responsive language use in messy indeterminate contexts • Relationality and authorship • The participatory nature of meaning construction in complex problem solving • Meta-cognitive skills and performance • Reflection on formal and informal theories of knowledge construction
  • 7. Group work processes • Planning • Choosing group members • Division of tasks • Monitoring • Coordination of individual contributions • Discussion, debates and negotiation • Preparation and mutual support • Evaluating • Peer review of contributions • Task completion
  • 8. AL as action-centred pedagogy • Activity can be seen as: • Imposed (teacher as authority) • Predictable (a series of set tasks) • Unreflective (students on autopilot) • Action involves: • Authorship (students pose their own questions) • Indeterminacy (unstructured contexts) • Metacognition (conscious reflection on skills)
  • 9. Questions • Which AL pedagogies are used/designed into the courses at your institution? • What are the experiences of teachers and students on courses which use AL at your institution? • Any other questions?
