It is often trainers who present content and explain contexts to learners. Who learns the most? Presumably the explainers themselves. Because explaining is a great way to learn. You can involve the participants even more actively with teaching method 16, "turning and flipping".
It works quite simply: in a geography course, for example, the ten most populous cities in Switzerland are discussed. Instead of explaining the order yourself, just show the learners the 10 cities. For example, on a worksheet, on a flipchart or with a projector. Unsorted like this: Basel, Bern, Biel/Bienne, Geneva, Lausanne, Lugano, Lucerne, St. Gallen, Winterthur and Zurich."
Now the participants are given the task: "Please take a look at the cities. Think about how big each city is and sort them in order of size. At the top is the city with the most inhabitants, at the bottom the city with the fewest." Depending on the format, participants can "twist and turn" in different settings: in teams with cards on pinboards; in pairs or threes with a piece of paper and pen.
No matter how - everyone starts to work on the 10 major cities. Think about what they know about the cities, weigh up, discuss, argue. All valuable learning! The participants actively engage with the material. After three or four minutes, ask the first learners to present their drafts. Others and you add to them. The participants have worked out the solution together. This pays off in terms of learning. If you know the connections, the links, you save the tedious "memorization"!
