If you tell me I forget, if you show me I remember, if you involve me I understand. Active learning strategies are more effective than passive learning as they allow students to participate directly in the learning process through activities like group work, discussion, problem-solving and peer teaching. For formative teaching to be most impactful, teachers should use feedback and questioning to diagnose challenges, involve students in assessing their own and peers' work, and encourage continued practice and explanation of concepts to support long-term retention.
