Meaningful learning is when students learn new experiences that relate to past events. These past events help students store new events because of the similarity. If a student is to use meaningful learning he or she must be motivated. A teacher can help motivate students by creating a comfortable environment for them to do work in. A teacher can, also, make sure the student is not over whelmed or stressed. It is a good idea for the teacher to give assignments that the student can do that have personal relevance. Meaningful learning should not be taken as just memorizing. It should be taken as having a purpose. Students should look at it as wanting to use meaningful learning to actually learn something. The leaning is not just memorizing; meaningful learning has a purpose. It has meaning. It is important for teachers to understand this and encourage meaningful learning in their classroom. Teachers can get students to use meaningful learning by encouraging students to ask questions and be active with the activities within the classroom and outside the classroom as well. Meaningful learning makes the learning process for students and the teaching process for teachers a lot easier.
I think that meaningful learning is a very important method of learning that all teachers should use and encourage. Meaningful learning really gets the students involved in activities and allows them to memorize things better when they are actively involved. In the picture above the students are using meaningful learning by doing an activity that creates a fun environment. Meaningful learning makes learning more interesting for the students.
