SCIENCE
The aim of this thesis was to examine active learning as a didactic-methodical paradigm of contemporary teaching from the perspective of students and teachers in order to gain insights into its application and understanding in contemporary teaching. Special emphasis had been put on the pedagogical approach to active learning and its constructivist and socio-constructivist foundation.
The results of the research reveal great differences in assessments of active learning in favour of teachers, implying that students need greater incentives and support to make active learning become a part of their learning culture. Predictors of active learning were presented at the end of the thesis.
This thesis has shown that active learning as a didactic-methodical paradigm of contemporary teaching is a very complex construct that requires profound changes in the educational practice.
In general, thesis contributes to a clearer view of the problem of active learning, both on the theoretical and practical level.
