Abstract

Active learning methodology has become the preferred way to change the traditional teacher centered classroom into the newer student centered approach to learning. Little development, however, on the pedagogy of active learning or the assessment of student retention using active learning methodology is available in literature.

This paper addresses how active learning can support the conceptual development of the learner. How can active learning methodology be implemented to assure that a student learns through the techniques established in active learning but within a pedagogical framework? A case study showing a pedagogical syllabus developed and implemented at Nakhon Sawan Rajabhat University by the author will be demonstrated.
