Weegy: is the concept of engaging the learner in his/her own learning in a way that they find significant. [ It is setting up and using the whole room for learning activities and changing dynamics to engage learners of all different kinds -- from those who learn by listening to those who learn by doing to those who learn by reading, for example. It is engaging the whole body in learning rather than just the ears (to hear lectures) and the butt/bum/tooshie (to sit in the chair). It is not lecture-based learning, although a well-designed interactive curriculum can include small periods of time when the facilitator is presenting information to the greater group. It is the difference between memorizing vocabulary and learning new vocabulary through engaging in questioning, clarification and conversation. It is the difference between a teacher/lecturer (who holds all the knowledge) and the learning facilitator (who honors the fact that individuals in every group have a wealth of life experience with which to apply and share in the learning and information). ]
