The purpose of this study was to describe instructors' perception and the practice of active learning at Salale University. To accomplish this purpose, the study employed a descriptive survey design and a concurrent nested approach. Probability sampling- stratified random sampling technique used to select instructors and students. Accordingly, from 445 instructors involved actively in teaching, 135 instructors (30%) were selected. These instructors were distributed to each department based on a ratio. From 1500 students (30 department x50 students on average), 450 students (30%) were selected. The data gathering instrument was a questionnaire. The questionnaire had both close-ended and open-ended questions and was administered to instructors and students. The data from the students’ questionnaire were used to corroborate the data obtained from instructors' questionnaires on the practice of active learning. The analysis has been done quantitatively and qualitatively. The quantitative analysis was done using descriptive statistics (percentage, mean, and grand mean) and inferential statistics: t-test by using SPSS version 26. The qualitative data were analyzed with interpretation. Based on the data, it has been found that teachers have a positive attitude towards active learning and they have practiced active learning sometimes which indicates that despite their positive attitude, their practice is somehow average. Regarding the challenges that hinder the practice of active learning, it has been found out that lack of skill of implementing active learning method, large class size/ No of students in a classroom/, lack of materials/ resources, low motivation of students to practice active learning and shortage of time to cover the portion are the major ones. Finally, based on the findings recommendations have been forwarded.
