    The document summarizes an article about the challenges of teaching in an active learning classroom (ALC). It outlines two categories of challenges: those due to the physical arrangement which include lack of a focal point, distractions, and overwhelming technology; and those due to changes in teaching roles which include the teacher no longer being the focal point and students not being able to hide from each other. It concludes by providing recommendations for ALC teaching like designing activities to meet learning outcomes and managing student attention. The evaluation agrees with the article but notes ALC may not work for primary schools given their focus on student-led learning. It also reflects on the author's own experience in an ALC art class.

    Running Head: ARTICLE REVIEW 3 1

    Challenges and Strategies in Handling Active Learning Classroom:

    ARTICLE REVIEW 3 2

    Summary

    Active learning classrooms (ALCs) is different from a traditional class, ALC is

    designed to enhance small group student-student interaction and student-instructor

    interaction. The classroom contains of some tables where students can sit in a circle, facing

    each other. The instructor or the teacher will just stand in the middle of the room with a

    podium and ask the students to pay attention on the screen or technology that the teacher

    used.

    Clearly from a brief description of ALC above, there are some challenges that both

    students and teacher face in this type of class. The author divides these challenges into two

    categories, challenges due to the physical arrangement of the room and challenges due to

    teaching roles. The challenges that both parties will face due to the physical arrangement are,

    first, no focal point, obviously because students are scattered in the classroom. This challenge

    brings us to the second challenge which is there will be multiple distractions because it will

    be harder for the teacher to control what the students are doing and they tend to get distracted

    by all the technology that the classroom provides. Thirdly is overwhelming technology means

    feeling overwhelmed by the technology of the space, too many technologies until you

    could not even handle it.

    Meanwhile the challenges that both party will face due to changes in teaching roles

    are first, teacher is no longer the focal point because everything are provided in the

    technology they uses. Secondly, students cannot hide from each other means that those who

    prefer to be passive and just listening will not get a chance to learn more because the class

    force them to be active. Lastly, the student will lose the opportunity to interact with the whole

    class because they were designed to sit with their small groups.

    As its conclusion, the article provides some recommendations for teaching in ALCs

    like design the activities and all the tools that the teacher will use that will meet the learning

    outcomes, communicates the teachers expectations to the students, and direct students

    attention during the class.

    Evaluation and Reflection

    I fully agree with the article and I did not see any distortion in this article. However,

    the method that the article mentioned will not be able to be applied in primary school. For

    higher level like High School and college, this classroom method might be effective. As we

    can see ALC is very student-minded, which means students play an important role in the

    learning process. Primary students will not be able to discuss or come up with ideas, like

    what ALC is aiming for, without teachers guidance. Meanwhile in ALC, teachers role are

    only monitoring the learning activities and answering students questions, not fully explaining

    the lesson in details.

    Before I went to ITC, I had ever joined an ALC in my previous university. It was an

    art university and the subject is Creative Thinking, where the teacher grouped us into several

    groups and let us shared each other knowledge regarding the topic that the teacher brought in

    class. Sometimes the teacher asked us to bring some art materials to deal with some study

    cases that needed creative thinking. Those challenges that the article mentioned were really

    happened in this class. Art material was a huge distraction for all of the young artists like us.

    Therefore, we tended to play with the art materials during teachers explanation. My teacher

    realized this problem and on the next class, she did not ask us to bring our own material,

    instead she provided them and gave us thes material after she explained the lesson.

    Both the article and my experience made me interested to apply it in my future class if

    I have a chance to teach higher grades like Secondary School especially in the subject like art

    and music. It will be more fun if the students are able to interact with each other and learn

    from each others knowledge and background. Because it will also train them as God created

    them with wisdom and knowledge to solve everyday problems and learning something new

    from an interaction with each other. Like what Proverbs 27:17 says, As iron sharpens iron,

    so one person sharpens another.
