s Chapter 5 Ausubel's Learning Theory 5.4.2 Main ideas: about learning x Rote and Meaningful Learning rote learning: memorize something without relating it to prior experience or memorize just by mere repetition. (the memorization of facts or associations) e.g. the multiplication tables, the chemical symbols for the elements, words in foreign languages, etc. Much of rote learning involves associations that are essentially arbitrary. The chemical symbol for gold could just as well have been go or gd

Chapter 5 Ausubels Learning Theor 5.4.2 Main ideas: about learning meaningfullearning: attempts to create some connection to something that they alread know, or learn with understanding. It is not arbitrary. e.g. if we learn that silver is an excellent conductor of electricity, this information relate to our existing information about silver and about electrical conductivity. The association between silver and electrical conductivity is not arbitrary

Chapter 5Ausubel's Learning theory 5.4.2 Main ideas: about learning Materials learned that have relation to experiences or memories that are firm in the person's memory are more likely to be retained. Whereas, rotely learned materials are discrete(不连续的,篱散的)and isolated entities which have not been related to established concepts ts.and may soon be forgotten(Ausubel, 1962)
