Alternative learning methods refer to educational approaches that differ from traditional classroom settings. These methods can include Montessori, Waldorf, and unschooling, which emphasize hands-on experiences, creativity, and self-directed learning. They often focus on the individual needs and interests of students, allowing for a more personalized education. These methods can also incorporate technology, such as online courses and blended learning, which combines online and in-person instruction. Alternative learning aims to engage students in ways that traditional methods may not, fostering critical thinking, collaboration, and a love for learning.
