Modelo teórico para levantamento e organização de subsunçores no âmbito da Aprendizagem Significativa

Theoretical model for surveying and organizing subsumers within the scope of Meaningful Learning

The Meaningful Learning Theory presents two absolutely crucial steps to reach the goal of meaningful teaching. The survey of subsumers, followed by their advanced organization, are conditions of possibility for learning to break the barrier of a merely mechanical learning, aimed at ephemeral memorization. However, such steps are very often disregarded, even by those who explicitly assume this theoretical framework. The survey stage of subsumers, in particular, is riddled with subjectivities on the part of those who organize learning, which brings the extra difficulty of being able to establish comparisons between surveys of subsumers by different teachers. The advanced organization stage, in turn, suggests a personalized teaching approach, since students’ cognitive structures can differ, and usually do, widely. This work seeks to present a methodology that tackles both problems. Without neglecting the inherent subjectivity of the survey of subsumers, it presents a formalization of it, through the fuzzy inference technique, also presenting its computational implementation. The issue of personalization of teaching based on this methodology is also addressed.
