Active Learning Method: Learning By Teaching (LdL)
An efficient instructional strategy that mixes guidance with active learning is "Learning by teaching" (Martin 1985, Martin/Oebel 2007). This strategy allows students to teach the new content to each other. Of course they must be accurately guided by instructors. This methodology was introduced during the early 1980s, especially in Germany, and is now well-established in all levels of the German educational system. "Learning by teaching" is integration of behaviorism and cognitivism and offers a coherent framework for theory and practice.
