Discussion
A teacher wants to enable meaningful and analytical learning in her class by providing opportunities for students to connect their prior knowledge to new concepts. Which of the following teaching strategies would be most effective ?
Answer: D
The most effective strategy is to ask students to share their own experiences related to the new material and then connect them to the topic.
Meaningful learning, in Ausubel's and the constructivist sense, happens when new ideas are linked to what learners already know. Starting from students' experiences activates that prior knowledge and gives the new concept something to attach to.
A step-by-step guide, a lecture with terms to memorise and reading a chapter to answer end questions all present the material without connecting it to what the students bring.
