Active methods of teaching, class, motivationAbstract
This work brought together experiences in the teaching of environmental subjects at the Metropolitan University, Machala headquarters in Ecuador, in order to share motivational results in the application of active teaching methods. To do this, empirical methods of satisfaction surveys for students were used, as well as studies compared with a historical analysis of the use of traditional teaching methods. The main results were aimed at the motivation of students who were endowed with knowledge with the application of active teaching methods such as: staging, thematic discussion by teams, preparation of classes by students, among others. We reached conclusions that confirmed that these active methods undoubtedly contribute to greater motivation and attention to the class, with better learning and interest, at a time when teachers complain that their students do not attend, due to the use of their cell phones, despite being banned in the classrooms during the classes at least in another use that is not in that class.
