Implementing Active Learning Strategies in Teaching Math and English for Cycle 1 Learners

Abstract

Abstract

Being a passive learner is a common problem to students as a result of using traditional methods in teaching. Thus, this research paper aims to investigate the effect of integrating active learning strategy to increase cycle 1 learners’ productivity, effectivity and motivation in teaching math and English. Hence, a quasi-experiment research was conducted. It utilized pre/posttests to test students’ level, direct observation during intervention, and teachers’ questionnaire to test their opinion towards implementing active learning strategies. The quantitative and qualitative results affirmed the positive effect of active learning strategies in increasing students’ productivity, motivation and effectivity. Therefore, it is recommended to train teachers t integrate active learning strategies in teaching math and English.
