Meaningful Learning
MEANINGFUL LEARNING by David Ausuble
Biography
* BORN: October 25, 1918 * studied at the University of Pennsylvania , receiving a bachelor's degree majoring in Psychology * earned his M.A. and Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology from Columbia University * In 1973, Ausubel retired from academic life and devoted himself to his psychiatric practice. * Died: July 9, 2008
Ausuble came up with cognitive learning theory that is well considering when seeking to understand and plan for learning. MEANINGFUL LEARNING THEORY * Refers to a learning way when the new knowledge to acquire is related with previous knowledge. * Is opposed to rote learning(memorizing)for instance multiplication table * Ausuble stresses meaningful learning rather than discovery learning. * The process of meaningful learning involves recognizing a relationship between new and something else already store in memory. * During meaningful learning, the person subsumes new knowledge into old knowledge. * Subsumption Theory - a way to subsume information in a hierarchical manner if the new information is linked/incorporated with prior knowledge /familiar patterns. Four processes of meaningful learning -Derivative subsumption - Correlative subsumption - Superordinate learning - Combinatorial learning Stage 1: Derivative subsumption * Describes the situation in which the new information is an example of a concept that students have already learned. Stage 2: Correlative subsumption * More valuable learning than the previous since it enriches the higher level concept. Stage3: Super ordinate learning * An individual is able to give a lot of examples of the concept but does not know the concept itself until it is taught. Stage 4:Combinatorial learning * Describes a process by which the idea is derived from another idea that it comes from previous knowledge(learning by analogy).
