ACTIVE LEARNING MANAGEMENT BASED ON THE SANGAHAVATTHU 4 PRINCIPLES FOR 21ST CENTURY LEARNERS

Abstract

     The purpose of this academic article is to examine Active Learning Management Based on the Sangahavatthu 4 Principles for 21^st Century Learners-namely generosity (tan), kind speech (peyavaja), beneficial conduct (atthacariya), and impartiality (samanattata) - which are ethical teachings from Buddhism that promote harmonious social interactions. The paper explores how these principles can be incorporated into active learning practices to enhance student participation, foster analytical thinking, encourage collaboration, and support meaningful engagement in the classroom. The author highlights the learner-centered approach of active learning and aligns it with the moral dimensions of Sangahavatthu in the context of modern education. Findings from the analysis indicate that the Sangahavatthu 4 Principles are naturally compatible with the fundamental elements of active learning. They are particularly effective in cultivating positive teacher-student relationships, creating a supportive learning environment, and integrating moral development with academic achievement. Generosity enables teachers to share resources, knowledge, and time with students openly. Kind speech promotes motivational and trustful communication. Beneficial conduct exemplifies moral leadership through teacher behavior. Impartiality ensures fairness and equity in student treatment and classroom interactions. This article concludes that incorporating the Sangahavatthu 4 Principles into active learning management does not merely enhance learning outcomes but also fosters deep-rooted ethical awareness in both teachers and students. It offers a sustainable model of education that balances intellectual growth with moral and spiritual development, making the learning experience holistic, meaningful, and culturally grounded.
