Active Learning
Pedagogical approach where learners build understanding through doing, exploration, and practice rather than passive reception of content.
Also known as: active learning methodologies
Active learning is a pedagogical approach in which learners construct understanding through doing — exploration, problem-solving, and practice — rather than passively receiving content.
In music, active learning means time spent playing, listening, and making decisions, supported rather than replaced by technology. It is a principle that guides the music software tools Musical Apps Coop builds for musicians.
