This study focuses on the concept of Active Learning (AL) and the related
concept Active Leamer Participation (ALP) as it features in the Literacy Learning
Programme of the Foundation Phase of Curriculum 2005. The aim of the action
research project, conducted at four schools in the Durban district of K waZulu-
Natal, was to find a model of AL in order to provide guidance on teaching for
ALP. The study involved the researcher working collaboratively with five
Foundation Phase educators over a period of four months. Results of the study
indicated that teaching in the sequential stages of classbuilding and teambuilding,
whole class discussion, group work and individual work increases learners' active
participation and ownership in terms of the learning experience. These stages
form the model of active learning. Due to the spirit of camaraderie and partnership
that developed in each stage, the research team is inclined to call it "The Tirisano
Model of Active Learning". / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Didactics)
