“…2002) but a number of authors suggest this approach is quite successful with larger numbers of students (for example , Caldwell 2007;Diesel, Alley, Schreiber and Borrego 2006) .

Active learning is a pedagogical construct widely appealed to within the global discourse of lifelong learning. However, an examination of the literature reveals a lack of clarity and consensus as to its meaning.

A more robust theoretical framework is presented to support educator understanding which synthesises and extends current constructs and which bridges the divide between active learning considered as either theory of learning or pedagogical strategy.
