Active learning in classroom

Have you ever got a feeling that students are only physically present but mentally absent in your classroom? They seem to be even asleep… This course helps you to find different methods to activate your classroom in a way that creates positive feelings. The aim of the course is to find ways to activate students in order to increase their motivation and well-being in the classroom. Active students process information more deeply and this will increase the understanding of the subject and the learning outcomes. Active students will find learning meaningful and improve their 21st-century skills such as creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. 

During the course, we will have fun and work together with the course tasks. We will explore a variety of techniques, such as drama pedagogy, group work and methods of team building activities. The focus will be on practical methods and hands-on experience in collaboration and student-centered learning. All the techniques will be tested in practice, you will learn by doing. A couple of short trips will be done to the Finnish nature and cultural locations. The Finnish forest is the best place to relax and feel calm emotions after all the action in the classroom.

Come and experience some of the best practices in Finnish schools and take a peek on Finnish nature and culture as well!
