= Interactive teaching = | |||
Interactive teaching is becoming more and more popular internationally. Research evidence from different countries shows that this kind of active learning is both motivating and far more effective for learning than direct instruction (“chalk-and-talk” or lecturing). | |||
In particular independent, collaborative or oral work, as well as questioning and whole-class discussion that encourage pupils to grapple with ideas, are effective. They lead to long-term and deeper learning rather than memorising facts (resulting in short-term, superficial learning). | |||
{{: The key to interactive teaching is teachers shifting “from telling to listening” and learners shifting from receiving information to making sense of it for themselves.}} | |||
The OER4Schools programme explores how we can “listen” to learners and what that means in practice. | |||
