“Advance Organizer”• Term coined by David Ausubel, MD, PhD
(Educational psychologist and psychiatrist)• Ausubel, D.P. (1960). The use of advance organizers in
the learning and retention of meaningful verbal material. Journal of Educational Psychology, 51, 267-272
• Information presented by an instructor that helps the student organize new incoming information
![Page 6: Advance Organizers - University of Utah– Explain the function of Advance Organizers in teaching and learning. – Identify when an Advance Organizer would likely be useful in one’s](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040915/5e8d240884e2b81256352f65/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Ausubel: a constructivist who appreciated the role of lecture and the
need for content mastery
• the most important thing a student brings to a learning situation is what s/he already knows
• students more actively learn from presented information if they are explicitly taught to look for organizing ideas

1. What macronutrients do humans catabolize in order to synthesize ATP?
2. What is the first metabolite common to the catabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and ethanol?
3. How is the energy released from carbon oxidation converted to ATP?
4. Determine whether it is possible for humans to synthesize:
a. Fatty acids from glucose: Yes or Nob. Proteins from glucose (assume that all
essential amino acids are provided): Yes or No
c. Glucose from fatty acids: Yes or Nod. Proteins from fatty acids (assume that all
essential amino acids are provided): Yes or No
e. Glucose from proteins: Yes or Nof. Fatty acids from proteins: Yes or Nog. Glucose from ethanol: Yes or Noh. Fatty acids from ethanol: Yes or No
5. What part of fat can humans convert to glucose?
Utilize this basic framework to answer the following questions:(Recommended that you work with other students to discuss)

Advance Organizers summary
• an intellectual scaffold for students to appropriately structure ideas and facts
• explain, integrate and interrelate the material in the learning task with previously learned material
• increase the stability and clarity of students’ cognitive structures, allowing the students to acquire, organize and retain more information

Advance Organizer summary• an intellectual scaffold for students to
appropriately structure ideas and facts • explain, integrate and interrelate the material in
the learning task with previously learned material • increase the stability and clarity of students’
cognitive structures, allowing the students to acquire, organize and retain more information
• transmit the system professionals use to structure their understanding and analyze problems
