ABSTRACT
It is commonly misperceived that the key characteristic of active learning is for students to be physically active in learning activities where they do not only sit but participate in hands-on tasks. However, this typical view is debunked in the article. It is argued here that the goal of active learning does not stop at physical actions, but cognitive activities are necessarily required, thus can be elaborated into 3 dimensions, behaviorally active, socially active and cognitively active. Therefore, the spectrum of learning types can be divided into at least 4 categories, passive learning, pseudo passive learning, pseudo active learning and active learning. Also, discussed in this article is a pedagogical recommendation that regardless of the types of pseudo learning, the lesson design needs effective learning objectives proposed by a model based on Bloom's taxonomy, so that the lessons, questions and activities in the classroom will be all directed toward the same active learning goal.
Keywords: passive learning, pseudo passive learning, pseudo active learning, active learning.
