ABmenetelmä

ABmenetelmä is a Finnish term referring to a specific pedagogical approach. It is often translated as the "AB method" or "AB approach". The core principle of ABmenetelmä is to foster active learning and problem-solving skills in students. Instead of traditional teacher-led instruction where information is primarily transmitted from educator to student, ABmenetelmä emphasizes student-centered activities.

This method typically involves presenting students with a problem or a task and encouraging them to work collaboratively to find solutions. The role of the teacher shifts from being the sole source of knowledge to that of a facilitator, guiding students through their learning process, offering support, and posing questions to stimulate deeper thinking. This can involve research, experimentation, discussion, and the application of learned concepts in practical contexts. The goal is to enhance understanding, develop critical thinking, and build confidence in students' abilities to tackle challenges independently and as part of a group. While the exact implementation can vary, the underlying philosophy remains consistent in promoting engagement and autonomous learning.
