Activity Based Learning System in Higher Education

Activity based instruction appeals to those who enjoy learning through doing. However, not all learners are active learners. Some learners are more reflective and like to observe, while others enjoy theorizing and thinking about concepts without any practical work. Active learning redefines classroom practice from a static view of learning in which knowledge is poured into the passive, empty minds of student learners to a more dynamic view where, through project based, collaborative, and problem based activities, students play a more vital role in creating new knowledge to be applied to other professional and academic contexts. This book merely focuses on the activity based learning technique of teaching. To know how it is better than traditional instructional approach, what are the limitations in their part, what are the challenges posed by this learning technique and its future perspective with in the light of current educational framework.
