Passive Learning

Passive learning is a more traditional way of learning where students primarily listen, watch, or read without much interaction or active participation. Think of it like sitting in a lecture, watching a video, or reading a textbook—the information is presented to you, but you’re not actively engaging with it through discussions, activities, or hands-on tasks. In simple terms, passive learning is about receiving information rather than doing something with it. It’s like being an audience member rather than a participant in the learning process.
