    Abstract
    The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between active learning, students’ motivation and knowledge retention among students. The study adopted a correlational research design. A simple random sampling technique was used to draw a sample of 100 respondents. Data was collected using self-administered questionnaires that were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS,version 23.0). Results indicated that there was a negative significant relationship between active learning and student motivational (r= -.333**<0.01). There was a positive significant relationship between student motivation and knowledge retentionat (r= .524**<0.01).Finally, there was a positive significant relationship between active learning and knowledge retention at (r= .486**<0.01). In conclusion, active learning has side benefits other than just retention, that is due to active learning learners were more capable of higher order thinking in other situations, were better team players, were better communicators and were more motivated with better attitudes which also created an environment for fun among students. The researcher recommends that the educators should provide several opportunities for students to practice cordial interactions and communication between students and teachers. She also recommended that there should be cordial relations between students and teachers in order to enable them to carryout active learning in classroom
