Dare to put significant learning into practice

During our existence, from the time we are born until we reach adulthood, we develop in a world of constant learning in such an accelerated way that we do not stop obtaining life experiences and knowledge in the different areas of knowledge. We are beings endowed with intelligence and cognitive abilities that make us unique in the universe, therefore seeking ways of learning makes us beings with a high capacity for thought.

Learning can be defined as ¨the acquisition of knowledge, skills and abilities through study or life experience ¨ based on this criterion, we can say that learning characterizes us as humans with great capabilities which allows us to develop an intrinsic motivational character to achieve learning and thus acquire important skills that will serve us for our professional future.

In this sense, it can be said that when we have the will to learn and we are driven by the intention of acquiring skills for our intellectual growth, we seek ways of learning that strengthen knowledge over time and during our productive life; for this it is important to resort to meaningful learning as an effective way to develop cognitive skills that boost our intellect in a gigantic way.

It is important to highlight that meaningful learning is sponsored by Ausubel, who states that the human being must associate skills and previous knowledge in order to integrate new information. This type of learning eloquently encompasses the emotional, motivational and cognitive aspects, making the teaching-learning process a source of high-level knowledge.

Based on this premise, it can be said that at the moment of learning, the motivational and significant part about why we learn, determines the way we see the information and how we will manage it in our immediate reality. Therefore, it is interesting to follow this line of learning, since in this way we will integrate and facilitate the acquisition of knowledge in an ideal way.
