In order to enable smooth articulation of high school and university, reforms of high school education, university education, and university entrance exam began to actively promote the educational reform of articulation of high school and university. Additionally, in Taiwan, the 2019 Curriculum Guideline was implemented and focuses were placed on three dimensions: “active action,” “communication and interaction,” and “social participation” to cultivate basic abilities of students. Accordingly, educational reform in either Japan and Taiwan focuses on the transition between high schools and universities to actively promote and facilitate active learning of students as one of its main goals. When promoting active learning, one will see conflicts and confrontation between “knowledge instruction based that centers on teacher’s education” and “active learning based education” that centers on students as well as those between “administration” and “teaching.” Hence, to avoid the said conflicts and confrontations, this paper first discusses definition and context of active learning. Furthermore, orientation of active learning in school education is discussed. In the end, possibilities of learning transformation of active learning are examined through case study of active learning in university.
