Study Notes
Learning Activities
- Learning activities are tasks, exercises, or games designed to engage students, build knowledge, and promote understanding of a subject.
- Other learning activities include direct instruction, guided practice, independent study, collaborative work, and reflective review.
- Different types of learning activities include group discussions, hands-on experiments, case studies, and writing tasks.
Types of Learning Activities
-
Acquisition: Teachers engage students with theories, concepts, and ideas. This includes reading books, articles, or websites; attending presentations, lectures, or tutorials; watching videos, demonstrations, animations; and listening to podcasts or recordings.
-
Inquiry: Students are guided by teachers to explore, compare, and develop their understanding of theories, concepts, and ideas. Examples include research, exploring data, analyzing data, critique of practices, formulating solutions to problems, fieldwork, work-integrated learning, and placements.
-
Practice: Students apply their emerging conceptual understanding. This includes testing solutions to problems, simulations, role-play, and games, along with fieldwork, work-integrated learning, and placements.
-
Production: Students produce an output to represent their understanding, consolidating learning through the process. This includes creating e-portfolios, digital posters, video and audio presentations, written texts, infographics, concept maps, blogs, journals, and wikis.
-
Discussion: Students engage with peers and teachers to articulate and share ideas and questions, enhancing understanding and generating further questions and ideas. This includes think-pair-share, jigsaw, in-class or online synchronous discussions, online asynchronous discussions, and polling.
-
Collaboration: Students work with peers to address problems or complete tasks, often involving discussion and production. Examples include think-pair-share, jigsaw group activities, project-based work, team problem solving, collaborative problem solving, and peer feedback.

- Storytelling: Sharing stories, real or fictional, fosters communication skills and imagination, and helps with the development imagination and creativity in children.
Additional Learning Activities

- Circle the questions: Students identify areas where they lack understanding or have questions, enabling focused individual attention to different concepts and questions asked.
- Ask the winner: The "winner" explains how a problem was solved allowing for peer-to-peer learning on how to solve similar challenges in the future.
