Matthew X. Joseph - Active Learning in the Classroom

Dr. Matthew Joseph discusses the importance of active learning, where students actively participate in their education rather than passively consuming content. He emphasizes the role of teachers as facilitators who empower students to engage creatively and critically with the material. Active learning leads to better retention and understanding, as students take ownership of their learning process. The video highlights strategies for implementing active learning, such as asking probing questions and encouraging student-led research and presentations. The ultimate goal is to create dynamic classrooms that mirror the real world, fostering authentic and resilient learners.
