Ausubel’s theory is concerned with how individuals learn large amount of data from verbal to textual presentation which can play a significant role in industrial setting in terms of transer of information between the firm and its labour.Learning is based upon the kinds of super ordinate, represantational and combinational processes that occur during the reception of information (Ausubel .1960).This enhances the industry to function efficiently as the plays majour roles in training,recuitment and selection to mention only but a few if taken note of but however motivation and reinforcement and motivation to mention a few is also ignored by Ausubel that is also of paramount importance in the ...view middle of the document...
One henceforth is free to say that Ausubel’s theory proves to be of a great deal in industries.
Advanced organizers is one of the concepts that Ausubel talks about.Advanced organizers facilitate learning and retention of meaningfully learned information in three ways.Firstly, if properly designed they call attention to and build on relevant anchoring ideas which the learner already has in the cognitive structure.Secondly they provide ideational scarffold for the new material to be learned.Thirdly is the stable and clear organization eliminates the need for rote memorization henceforth making the newly learned information far more useful in real life situations.It is from this that one sees this aspect useful in industrial settings as it can make sure that the right trainees are recruited that have the information that link with what they will indulge into at the workplace and ensures high productivity rate therefore the organizational wellbeingness.Hence it is safe to argue that Ausubel’s theory plays a pivotal role in industries as it increase the efficiency of the workforce.
In relation to learner’s cognitive structure, the subsumption principle is presented as an explanation of how one increases or organizes one’s own sphere of knowledge.New ideas and information as Ausubel contends are grasped and retained by the learner only to the extent that more inclusive and appropriately relevant concepts are available in cognitive structures to serve a subsuming role or to provide ideational anchorage.This if taken note of and if applied in situations like teaching or giving the employees the right information they need henceforth making them better and therefore equipping the employees with valid data that they lack and in the process learning satisfaction happens henceforth one can say that Ausubel’s theory plays a pivotal role in industries.
Ausubel also talks about meaningful verbal learning simultaneously addresses curriculum, learning and teaching simply that is how knowledge is organized(curriculum),how one processes new information(learning),and how teachers can apply these curriculum and learning ideas when presenting new material to students(instruction).Bruner(1966) goes hand in glove with Ausubel as to the central importance of cognitive processes in the planning of instruction.In this case an instructor relating to the industrial settings will have to find an efficient well of transferring his/her knowledge efficiently to the employee either on the job or during the training program and avoids forgetting hence it is crystal clear that it is of usefulness if applied in industrial settings.
In addition to the above,Ausubel believed that complex intellectual processes(thinking, language, problem solving,concept information) are also part of some aspects of learning .Concerned with...
