| - | * **Meaningful learning** is learning that is well **anchored and integrated** in the cognitive structure. It occurs when learner can find meaning in the information presented. Meaningful learning won't occur unless the new ideas are presented in a clear way that enables their relating with other ideas, unless the learner already possesses those other ideas he can relate the new ones with and unless the learner actually makes an conscious attempt to do so. If those conditions are satisfied, new ideas will remain anchored in his knowledge and if not, learning will be rote. | + | * **Meaningful learning** is learning that is well **anchored and integrated** in the cognitive structure.
