Assessment Tasks: 1. in Your Own Words Explain Ausubel's Subsumption Theory

Ausubel's subsumption theory explains how students learn vast amounts of new information by relating it to what they already know. According to the theory, learning occurs through superordinate, representational, and combinatorial processes when students receive new information. Advance organizers help students link new concepts to existing knowledge at an appropriate level of abstraction. Graphic organizers like story maps, KWL charts, problem-solving organizers, and sequence charts can help improve student comprehension and problem-solving skills. Story maps identify story elements like characters and plots. KWL charts track what students know, want to know, and learned. Problem-solving organizers help evaluate solutions. Sequence charts visualize processes and timelines of events.

ASSESSMENT TASKS

1. In your own words explain Ausubel’s subsumption theory.

- Ausubel's theory is concerned with how students absorb vast


quantities of substantive content from verbal/textual presentations.
Learning is determined by the superordinate, representational, and
combinatorial processes that occur during the receiving of information,
according to Ausubel. Subsumption is a primary learning mechanism in
which new content is substantively and non-verbatim applied to
practical ideas in the current cognitive framework. Advance organizers,
according to Ausubel, vary from overviews and summaries, which
highlight main concepts and are given at the corresponding level of
abstraction. Organizers serve as a link between new learning material
and previously discussed concepts.

2. Determine the uses of graphic organizers and state their use.

a. Story Map - can be used to identify the different elements such


as characters, character plots, themes, techniques, etc. in a book students are
reading. It’s a useful tool that teachers can integrate into the lesson to
improve students’ comprehension. 

How to use it
Step 1: Read the book and understand it well. 
Step 2: Discuss the different significant elements that were involved in the story.
These could be the characters, setting, problem and solution, etc. You can fill the
story map during the discussion. 
Step 3: Once the map is complete you can discuss each element individually.

b. KWL Chart - used for gathering information from student’s prior knowledge
or experience. This 3 column chart captures the before (what the reader already
knows), during (what the reader wants to learn) and after (what the reader
learned) stages of reading. 

How to use it
Step 1: Get students to brainstorm around the selected topic and write down
everything they know about it in the K column. 
Step 2: Ask them to generate a list of questions about what they want to know in
the W column of the chart. 
Step 3: During or after reading the book/ lesson get them to answer these
questions in the L column.
c. Problem Solving Organizer - can be used to improve the problem-solving
skills of the students. It helps students identify and evaluate solutions to
problems.
d. . Sequence Chart- A sequence graphic organizer is a tool that helps
visualize the order of steps of a process or a timeline of events, etc. It can also be
used for note-taking, lesson planning, and essay writing.
