We are very fortunate at Aldwyn Primary School that we can quickly get children engaged in a variety of lessons through a mix of traditional and digital skills. Being able to have a portable IT suite via the introduction of Chromebooks into classes from Year 3 to Yea6 has started to pay off.
Our aim is to move children from passive to active learners through a series of lessons whereby they are expecting to find the answers to questions thrown up in open-ended discussions are really starting to pay off.
The Benefits of Turning Your Child From a Passive to Active Learner
Learners come in all shapes and sizes, and their needs can vary depending on their ages, their interests, and the learning environment. From preschool to sixth grade, children learn in different ways and at different paces. That’s why it’s so important to understand what makes a learner passive or active. Passive learners are content with the information they’re being taught, and they only seek out what they’re already interested in. Active learners, on the other hand, are more interested in learning than they are in the subject matter. They push themselves to learn new things, are eager for new experiences, and are more open to exploring new things. Active learners are also more likely to keep learning past the original subject matter, which can lead to lifelong habits. Knowing the difference between a passive and an active learner can help you support your child’s learning and help them thrive.
What makes a learner passive?
Passive learners are content with the information they’re being taught, and they only seek out what they’re already interested in. A passive learner is open to being taught, but they don’t have much desire to learn new things. These children may not have the desire or ability to push themselves to learn new things. They may also have a history of anxiety or other mental health issues that make learning challenging.
Active learners are more curious and want to learn
Passive learners are open to being taught, but they don’t have much desire to learn new things. Active learners, on the other hand, are more interested in learning than they are in the subject matter. Active learners are also more likely to keep learning past the original subject matter, which can lead to lifelong habits. Knowing the difference between a passive and an active learner can help you support your child’s learning and help them thrive.
Passive learners don’t want to try new things
Passive learners may not understand why things are the way they are, so they may not understand why certain facts are true or why certain behaviours are correct. This can make it hard for kids to understand the things they do know. Passive learners may not understand why certain facts are true or why certain behaviours are correct.
Active learners don’t just learn about the subject
Passive learners may not understand why certain facts are true or why certain behaviours are correct. Active learners, on the other hand, are more interested in learning than they are in the subject matter. This can make it hard for kids to understand the things they do know. Passive learners may not understand why certain facts are true or why certain behaviours are correct.
Conclusion
Passive learners are open to being taught, but they don’t have much desire to learn new things. Active learners, on the other hand, are more interested in learning than they are in the subject matter. A child who is actively trying to learn new things is much more likely to succeed in school than a child who is content with what they know. To support your child’s learning, you need to know the difference between a passive and an active learner. Passive learners may not be interested in what you have to teach them, but they can benefit from being taught. An active learner, on the other hand, is much more likely to succeed in school, and they may even be interested in learning new things.
