There are two types of active learning, namely: a methodological approach and material approach. Methodological approach concerns the way students Adapting the active ideas presented into their cognitive structures that are in line in the way taken by the teacher in presenting learning materials the. Examples of methodological approaches are intuitive, analytic, synthetic, spiral, inductive, deductive, thematic, realistic and heuristic.
