• Active learning– students solve problems, answer questions,
formulate questions of their own, discuss, explain, debate, or brainstorm during class
• Cooperative learning– students work in teams on problems and
projects under conditions that assure both positive interdependence and individual accountability
• Inductive teaching and learning– students are first presented with challenges
(questions or problems) and learn the course material in the context of addressing the challenges.
