Abstract

In conclusion, this study aimed at investigating the impact of active learning on students’ engagement and academic performance in teaching science. A mixed-methods design was used to collect data through student surveys, performance tests, and classroom observations from diverse learning contexts. The results demonstrated that active learning improves student engagement and academic performance, promoting a transformative approach to teacher-centered methods that include lectures. The improvement was drawn from student involvement in independent work, better performance in assessments, and high interaction during class activities. It is therefore recommended that teachers implement active learning to enhance students’ experience and readiness for future learning environments. The research has been conducted to emphasize the impact of active learning, thereby promoting a paradigmatic change from the traditional learning paradigm to one that is more interactive and student-centered.
