Instructional Strategies for Active Learning

Edited by Kira Carbonneau

Abstract: Education today demands innovative approaches that go beyond traditional teaching methods. This book brings together leading research on active pedagogy to offer educators practical tools for enhancing student engagement and deepening understanding. The chapters explore diverse strategies, from integrating systems thinking in biological education to applying neuroeducation insights in active learning environments. By focusing on problem-solving, critical thinking, and interactive learning techniques, the book equips educators with the means to foster both conceptual and procedural skills. At its core, this work advocates a learner-centered approach, emphasizing collaboration between students and educators to coregulate knowledge construction. By blending cognitive science with dynamic teaching methods, the book offers actionable strategies that prepare students for complex, real-world challenges. We hope this collection inspires educators to rethink traditional practices and embrace new, learner-driven approaches for a more engaging and effective educational experience.
