Having kids shoot into a hoop while learning how to hold the ball properly is an example of:

• A. Planning
• B. Active learning
• C. Supervision
• D. Feedback

Answer: (B)

Active learning is shown when students are directly engaged in practicing a skill and applying guidance right away. In this scenario, kids are actively performing the shot while focusing on how to hold the ball, using instructions during the action to improve technique. That hands-on, in-the-moment practice embodies active learning. Planning would involve preparing the lesson sequence, supervision is about the teacher overseeing safety and behavior, and while feedback can occur during practice, the main idea here is the students’ active participation and execution of the skill.
