What is Carousel in Education?

 

 

Carousel is a technique used in education to keep learners engaged by involving them in moving activities. This is done either individually or in groups, where learners rotate around tasks or activities across the place, walking or exchanging seats. The technique yields several advantages in the learning process, by allowing learners to perform different tasks instead of separate tasks, and getting them involved by all senses physically for full attention and knowledge retention, and adding fun, social, and team building practices to the learning process through group discussions. This technique is applicable to different education settings, including schools, universities, and professional training classes. Gaming and role playing and simulation workshops specifically are more likely to benefit from utilizing the carousel technique. Educators role in this technique will include teaching and facilitating at the same time.
