Abstract— This is full paper research. We know that Active Learning Strategies (ALS) is being used in Saudi Arabia Higher Education. What is not well understood is the range of using the ALS among IT teachers at Al-Baha University. This research explores how teachers are managing ALS and understand CS teachers' viewpoints on how active learning is being used. We adopt the active learning techniques made by the Center for Research on Learning and Teaching, the University of Michigan, as the base. Data was collected through a sample survey with 10 CS teachers in the IT department at Al-Baha University. The researcher used frequencies, arithmetic means, standard deviations, and percentages to present empirical study results. The results show that CS teachers use ALS in their courses. The findings also show that 7 strategies out of 13 in the ALS are being applied by the respondents. The results also show that the CS teachers use the Clarification and Group method of ALS the most. The results could help to improve CS teachers' understanding grasp learning strategies and use them in giving class instructions.
