Abstract

Effective Learning Techniques are an integral part of learning strategies; the student needs to be involved in the presentation in order to be successful in learning. Student learning outcomes are stated in the analysis of sample data at a rate of 20.15; high score 29.00 low score 13.00; 4% received less than average (13 -14 marks), 3% received average marks (15 marks) and 93% received above average (16 - 29 marks). We investigated effective learning strategies (interview, video clip, role play, role play, five-minute paper, clear break, and group performance) and student learning outcomes (SLOs) among a sample of 158 Wolaita Sodo University Department of Physics. Answering a list of learning questions and assessment of student learning outcomes. We have made our analysis reveal a statistically significant correlation between effective learning strategies and student learning outcomes; therefore learning strategies should also provide 14% (Rsq = 0.139) of variability included in students' learning outcomes and this has been found to be statistically significant (F (1,156) = 25.23, p <.05). In addition, video clip simulation emerged as the most effective learning strategy and had the highest association with student learning outcomes (r = 0.340, p <0.05). The findings discuss the importance of effective learning strategies that promote learning among university students.

Highlights

It’s a growing awareness that students need to do more than just listen in order to learn in a changing environment
Will there is a significant relationship between active learning strategies and student learning outcomes?
The paper argued that the result necessity to ingenuity, Wolaita Sodo university teachers and all those interested in solving the problem of failure and effective learning in institutions to incorporate effective learning strategies into their learning activities and to apply seven effective learning strategies

Summary

Introduction

It’s a growing awareness that students need to do more than just listen in order to learn in a changing environment. Active learning is central to the learning process and many adult learning models consider communication (active learning) as an integral part of some scholars refer to active learning as anything students do in the classroom without listening to the teacher's speech [6, 10]. This includes everything except listening habits that help students engage in what they are hearing, in short writing lessons where students respond to teaching topics, in complex group lessons where students apply lessons in reallife situations and / or new problems. In view of the components of effective learning strategies, pointed out that good learning activities are the same, whether presented in traditional or online sites and activities must, among other things, have a definite beginning and end; a clear purpose or purpose and method of making a response [7]
