Abstract:
The active learning concept is increasingly attracting attention in the education environment. This paper includes information about the obstacles that instructors might face in active learning, and provides several activities to overcome obstacles. Evidence suggests that active learning increases engagement, student motivation, and comprehension of material. However, the literature revealed that several obstacles exist that may prevent the implementation of active learning strategies. Therefore, understanding how to overcome obstacles and successfully implementing active learning strategies is beneficial for both the instructor and student.
