Why Active Learning ?

Confucius ( 400 BC ) :

What I hear, I forget.

What I see, I remember.

What I do, I understand.

Silberman ( 1996 ) :

What I hear, I forget.

What I hear and see, I remember a little.

What I hear, see and ask questions about or discuss with someone else, I begin to understand.

What I hear, see, discuss  and do, I acquire knowledge and skill.

What I teach to another, I master.
