 Hi, everybody.

What are you doing? Are you looking for information of advantages and disadvantages of Active Learning? You don't need to worry because you're in a right place. I have collected the data regarding this topic from any sources and here we go.

A. Advantages of Active Learning

According to Rodriguez (2018), Panopto (2019), & Drew (2020), there are several distinct benefits of active learning. These benefits are as follows:

1. Teachers and students get more on-on-one interaction. Students receive frequent and immediate feedback from the teachers during active learning activities,
2.  Students learn through collaboration and interaction with other students, engaging more deeply with the course content and building invaluable social skills,
3.   Teaching is more inclusive. Students with different learning styles get a personalized experience,
4.  Active learning increases critical thinking,
5.  It gives the students a larger role in their learning environment,
6. It increases students’ attention,
7. It stimulates discussions,
8. It prolongs engagement and motivation,
9. The students learn information within its context, and
10. The students learn from trial and error.

B. Disadvantages of Active Learning

Badin (2018), Rodriguez (2018), & Drew (2020) state that there are some weaknesses of active learning. These weaknesses can be seen as follows:

1. Active learning requires more spontaneous and flexible lesson plans,
2. It limits the amount of material that can be presented at once,
3. It creates the potential for distractions if students are not monitored,
4. Students could develop misconceptions,
5. Not all outcomes are predictable,
6. It is often perceived as boring,
7. It may be viewed as irrelevant or unnecessary by some students,
8. It often requires more time for the teachers to prepare well,
9. It is less efficient than didactic learning for presenting foundational knowledge, and
10. It may be frustrating for students who are prepared to participate.
