Learning can be enjoyable rather than boring when we encourage students to discover real-life applications or solutions. Recognizing that people have different learning styles, Fortekigi Media OÜ adopts an active learning methodology. This approach combines a steep learning curve with enjoyment and a sense of ownership. As a result, students gain confidence and improve their self-esteem.
These are the educational media you will find on this site:
- Bobby’s Coding Song, a song to teach children coding.
- Let’s go TEAM: a communication and team performance game.
- Sales superhero: the magazine that teaches you to sell like a superhero.
- Superteams: the magazine that trains you in becoming a successful team.
What does it mean to activate knowledge?
In the past, we often found ourselves blocking time to sit at a desk for hours, memorizing sequences or dates. However, that approach has changed. Today, we aim for a deeper understanding of the material we study, focusing on the ability to apply what we’ve learned. For instance, explaining concepts to others is now a key part of learning.
Activation represents the next step—a new generation of education. This approach encourages learners to utilize their knowledge and identify problems that need solving immediately. It fosters creativity and insight, which in turn builds confidence in individuals. Additionally, those who engage in this active learning process cultivate a sense of accountability for their education.
The teacher’s role changes to guiding the learning process instead of merely transferring knowledge. They facilitate this process through questions and reciprocal responses, ensuring that what students learn is relevant to their education or work. It is beneficial for teachers to determine what knowledge is available prior to starting the learning process. This allows them to make students aware of what they already know or what gaps they might want to fill. Read also this article about activating strategies.
