 TP Task 2 – Active Learning Environments

Planning activities that allow students to clarify, question, apply, and consolidate new
knowledge.

What is an active learning environment? What are its benefits? How does it link to the
inquiry cycle?
An active learning environment is the environment that increases students' integration into

work and makes learning fun and joy that motivates students to produce and diversify. The

benefits of this environment support and deepen the absorption of learners of the scientific

material and increase the effectiveness and participation of learners in the educational situation

and then increase their self-confidence and this is through the support of the teacher. The

active learning environment are link to the inquiry cycle; “because the student has different

possibilities until he has the main concept of the lesson” (Manoli et al., 2015, p. 3)
