    A Study on Challenges of Implementing Active Learning in Higher Education: the Case of Under Graduate Physical Education Program in Addis Ababa University
    (Addis Abeba university, 2014-04) Girma, Addisalem; Teka, Solomon(PhD)
    It has been about ten years since the government of Ethiopia made a new educational and training policy. The making of the policy has been followed by the development and implementation of different programs in order to carry forward the innovations enshrined in it. One of the highly emphasized aspects of this policy is the need to implement an active learning education most of the time which is expressed as student-centered, both in content and approach with the objective of producing a problem solving citizen. Related with this, the more elaborate aspiration of the policy is the trend towards shifting learning instructions from teacher-centered approach to a student centered approach. Though a variety of understanding exist on what ‘a student-centered approach’ means, the active learning approach with its qualifications as a student-centered approach and its unquestioned relevance in the development of problem solving citizen, it is expected that this approach is given precedence in the implementation of the policy. Student-centered method of teaching learning as occupied an important place in modern world. This is because it has many advantages in developing learners’ knowledge and skills. But its advantage is realized only when it is effectively and properly applied. Based on this, the main purpose of this study was to assess the status of implementation of active learning (studentcentered method) in PE program of AAU. Teachers, students, class room and fields, and documents were the source of data for this study. Questionnaire was the main data gathering instrument which was supported by observation and document analysis. The result of the study indicate that most of teachers in the PE department got different training in teaching but there is low understanding, implementation way and its helpfulness in an effective teaching learning process.
