Abstract
Introduction
The process of learning and development of learners' capabilities strongly depends on the active participation of learners in education. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of evaluating active teaching-learning methods in developing students' abilities and then evaluating professors' views on how active participation affects students' general abilities.
Method
A mixed method (quantitative-qualitative) was used to carry out the study. The statistical population in the quantitative part included the students of Babylon University in Iraq, 145 people were selected as sample members using Cochran's formula and selected as sample members using available sampling method. The tool for collecting information in this section was the "Student Participation Questionnaire". Active teaching-learning methods and its effect on learners' abilities were analyzed using analysis of variance and the contribution of the investigated methods was analyzed using Chi-square test. In the qualitative part, faculty members were considered as the statistical population and the purposeful sampling method was used until the saturation point was reached (12 people). Interviews were used to collect information in this section. Faculty members' responses were analyzed using thematic analysis.
Results
According to the obtained results, most of the students considered active teaching-learning methods to be effective in developing their abilities. Active teaching-learning methods have led to a significant increase in learners' abilities, which shows the efficiency and effectiveness of such methods. Active learning opens the door to hands-on learning, enabling learners and instructors to investigate, think outside the box, and come up with practical solutions to problems themselves.
Discussion
This study provided first-hand information about the effect of active participation on the development of capabilities, and it shows that these effects are related to the interactions between students, professors, as well as the learning environment, which are necessary to improve the capabilities of learners.
