Many psychologists, biologists and mathematicians have talked about learning and helped to try to improve our understanding of the process, so in this context, today we will talk about interactive learning.
Let’s start by defining learning and interaction. According to the Royal Academy of Language, the first concept refers to “the acquisition of continuous behavior through practice”, and the second to an “action that is performed between two or more objects, people, agents, forces, functions, etc. Now, what is interactive learning?
- It is a dynamic learning.
- Associated with movement.
- It is characterized by motivating activities that encourage the person to stay active and deepen their knowledge.
- For this they need several actors and elements:.
In interactive learning, several tools can be included to help achieve the goals set. It is important to maintain learning, avoiding procrastination.
It is important that the learning activities are based on a constant dialogue, the idea is that the teacher becomes more involved in learning, but in a global way, that is, it goes beyond the theoretical.
According to the environment and objectives, the teacher must
As a result, the teacher acts as a facilitator of learning, for this, in addition to the characteristics mentioned, he must have self-knownness and self-management, so in this type of learning also count emotions, cognitions and behaviors. In fact, we’re talking about a person who should lead by example: show and students look, then repeat or create something new.
In addition, in interactive learning intelligence is seen in its entirety, so it not only promotes intellectual development, they also count artistic, cultural, empathy, self-regulation, etc. The teacher, as a guide, should know and help improve these Fantastic skills, right?
The student is a (active) player in interactive learning. Therefore, you may be involved in all activities; for example, to expose a topic. In addition, he receives feedback not only from his teacher, but also from his peers and himself. You can work on:
There are many places dedicated to education that use interactive learning, the important thing is to look for them if we want to be part of this way of learning, although the process is slow, strengthens and enriches with each technological advancement based on learning. . They are not just elementary schools; this is also evident in higher education.
However, with regard to integrated virtuality in learning, several research has been carried out: in his article published in the journal Media and Education, in his article published in the journal Media and Education, in his article published in the journal Media and Education, Arenas Marquez, Domingo Carrillo, Molleda Jimena, Roos MartÃn and Ruiz del Castillo (2009) , raise that:?It is not enough to transfer the classic materials to a website, it is necessary to adapt them to the new space?. just talking about transfers; we refer to an innovative but directed, supervised type of learning with a solid theoretical basis.
Interactive learning emphasizes a relationship built in different environments, in which the teacher, student and colleagues engage, dynamically and consciously, and each participant contributes to it, goes beyond traditional models of learning integrating them into an innovative proposal.
