Meaningful Learning

Meaningful learning is the idea that students have actually learned material (not just memorized) and can build and/or apply information to different situations. Meaningful learning means that a student can relate to what is learned because they have made a connection through hands-on interaction and not simple call and response. The students are in control of what is being learned vs. teacher standing and "pouring" information into their brains.
