Abstract

Active learning strategies have completely rewritten the concept of teaching and learning. Academicians have clocked back to Socratic approaches of questioning. Educators have started implementing active learning strategies for effective learning with the help of tools and technology. As Generation-Y learners are mostly visual, engaging them using visualization techniques play a vital role in their learning process. The facilitator has an important role in intrinsically motivating the learners using different approaches to create self-learning interests. Different visualization techniques were used along with lectures to help students understand and appreciate the concepts. Anonymous feedback was collected from learners. The consolidated report shows that majority of learners accepted the usage of visualization techniques was helpful in understanding concepts as well as create interest in learning the course. This study helps to understand, how the use of visualization techniques help the facilitator to engage learners effectively as well create and intrinsic motivation for their learning.
在环境科学工程课程中使用可视化技术进行主动学习
主动学习策略彻底改写了教与学的概念。学者们又回到了苏格拉底式的提问方式。教育工作者已经开始在工具和技术的帮助下实施主动学习策略,以实现有效的学习。由于y一代学习者大多是视觉化的,因此使用可视化技术吸引他们在他们的学习过程中起着至关重要的作用。引导者在内在激励学习者使用不同的方法来创造自我学习兴趣方面起着重要的作用。讲座中使用了不同的可视化技术来帮助学生理解和欣赏这些概念。从学习者那里收集匿名反馈。综合报告显示,大多数学习者接受可视化技术的使用有助于理解概念,并产生学习课程的兴趣。本研究有助于理解可视化技术的使用如何帮助引导者有效地吸引学习者,并为他们的学习创造内在动机。
