implementation of a variety of specific student-centered instructional strategies to teach science; hands-on, inquiry-oriented activities and organizing students into collaborative learning groups that analyze problem-oriented scenarios (Taraban et al.).

Active learning is the process of participating in a task or activity, gaining first-hand experience for a task. In some cases, this can be more efficient than observational learning, where the learner only watches a teacher perform the task or activity.
