David Ausubel, a great contribution to education


David Paul Ausubel was born in 1918 New York, study in the  New York  university and was a follower of Jean Piaget.
In the moment when the Bruner theory  gained strength based on discovery learning, Ausubel thought that this was not only important but also the learning styles of reception, he thought  that learning could be acquired by discovery and reception according to certain rules. The important thing is to obtain a "meaningful learning".



the "meaningful learning" is the more important discoveries of Ausubel, this  "meaningful learning" is a learning that is achieved according to certain characteristics:

Significance logic of material 
Psychological significance of  material
Favorable attitude of the student

I think is very important this knowledge, with this information we can create the environment necessary for that childrens can development this the "meaningful learning".
