Active learning: in context.
Active learning has become trendy, particularly in health care education. It has been noted that active learning is an attitude, not a method. Promotion of active learning requires willing students, sympathetic teachers, and an institution willing to promote interactions between them. The essence is to shift the locus of control from the teacher to the student. This essay draws attention to books and articles discussing such issues.
