David Paul Ausubel• October 25, 1918 -July 9, 2008• He was an American

psychologist born in New York. His most significant contribution to the fields of educational psychology, cognitive science, and science education learning, was on the development and research on advance organizers.

meaningful learning takes place when an idea to be learned is related in some sensible way to ideas that the learner already possess. Ausubel believed that before new materials can be presented effectively, the student’s cognitive structure should be strengthened.

Advance Organizer

Allows students to already have a bird’s view ot to see the “big picture” of the topic to be learned even before going to the details.

Subsumption Theory:

Subsumption- is a process by which new materials related to relevant ideas in the existing cognitive structure.

Page 9: Ausubel’s meaningful verbal learning

Derivative Subsumption:

- Describes the situation in which the new information you learn is an example of a concept that you have already learned.

A bird has feathers, a beak, lays egg, it

can fly, etc.

Correlative Subsumption:

- higher-level concept of thinking.

Superordinate Subsumption:

- You are already familiar with the things but did not know the concept itself until it was taught.

Mandy, those are what you called

“fruits”.

Combinatorial Learning:

-When the newly acquired knowledge combines with prior knowledge to enrich the understanding of both concepts.

Advance Organizer:

-Is a major tool proposed by Ausubel and

it gives 2 benefits:

1. You will find it easier to connect new information with what you already know about the topic.

2. You can readily see how the concepts in a certain topic are related to each other.

Page 22: Ausubel’s meaningful verbal learning

EXPOSITORY:

• Describes the new content.• provides new knowledge that students will need

to understand the upcoming information” • are often used when the new learning material is

unfamiliar to the learner. They often relate what the learner already knows with the new and unfamiliar material—this in turn is aimed to make

the unfamiliar material more plausible to

the

learner.

Page 23: Ausubel’s meaningful verbal learning

NARRATIVE:

• Presents the new information in the form of a story to students.

Page 24: Ausubel’s meaningful verbal learning

SKIMMING:

• Is done by looking over the new material to gain a basic overview.

Page 25: Ausubel’s meaningful verbal learning

Graphic Organizer:

• Visuals to set up or outline the new information. This may include pictographs, descriptive patterns, concept patterns, concept maps, Venn diagram.
