David Paul Ausubel!

In the post today I will write on a psychologist and pedagog that to marked my carrera because of his theory of the "meaningful learning". He is 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

For example for to achieve a "meaningful learning" they must first to rescue the "previous knowledges" asking to the childrens that know of butterfly, they will share her experienced, later, beginning  of the experienced of the childrens we organize the new knowledge

I think is very important this knowledge and i believe that is a deficiencies of the school, the  learning  is not meaningful for the childrens.  are  learning decontextualized and aliens. 

with this information we can create the environment necessary for that childrens can development this  "meaningful learning"  and the education to have more sense. 

The piece of news: Pre-school of thought!

The piece of news I chose is  about of a program of the "Westminster Children's Society" (WCS); this program is about, a form of combater the racism in the children's, as that was discovered that children’s develop racist thoughts from three years.  How they do? In the classroom the elementary teacher and the children’s turn on the computer and they begin to send instantaneous message to Iceland.  The children’s asking about where are the penguins? Or how is the beef of the shark? This help to the children’s to know about customary of others places and tolerate the is different. 

The WCS runs 15 community nurseries in the London borough of Westminster, this is a fundation social and charitable for this the profits it makes are reinvested in new materials for the community nurseries.

The WCS not only cares of the childrens also of the parents more poor and workers, by providing community nurseries where leave their children meanwhile works Also  provide certified, vocational training to his staff.

Also are financed asking for monthly payment to the parents with more resources for to finance the parents with less resources and single mothers, is as Robin hood “we rob the rich to support the poor"

The parents say:  "There are a few private nurseries in the area, but they're nowhere near as interesting as this one. It's good value for the service. My child's really happy and has developed really well.
