From Teaching to Learning

Summary/Abstract: This study examined the effectiveness of educational methods - Learning by Using Active Methods - on improving the student’s learning efficiency. We deal with less homogeneous university classes since a part of our students are teenagers coming from high schools and a part are of different ages coming from the educational system. Therefore to understand students as learners and to improve their abilities as learner are required. Our study tried to emphasize how students perform in each practice of a knowledge component. We try to find optimal learning methods by using different strategies, in order to improve students’ learning efficiency. With a control group design, we analyzed the learning performance of Study programme Primary and Preschool Pedagogy students participating in the Optimized Learning Teaching study. Results were compared to students participating in traditional learning without using modern methods. Analyses indicated that students in the optimized condition are more interested in study and their motivation grows. There was significant difference in the learning performance of the two groups in either an immediate post test or a two-week-later retention test.
