1. Ausubel theory, in my opinion, focuses on how people acquire and absorb enormous amounts of
knowledge through visual or textual means. This theory of learning suggests that new concepts may be
assimilated into larger concepts or ideas. A learner absorbs new knowledge by connecting it to
previously acquired concepts and ideas. Rather of creating an altogether new cognitive framework, they
are able to connect it to knowledge already stored in their minds. Developing pupils' thinking skills need
particular education and practice rather than application. Gestalt theory, on the other hand, stresses
that the totality of anything is greater than the sum of its parts. That is, the characteristics of the whole
cannot be deduced from a study of the components separately. Similarity, continuity, closure, closeness,
figure/ground, and symmetry & order are all fundamental gestalt concepts of visual perception. Others,
such as "shared fate," have recently been added. When presented with new material, Bruner's learning
theory argues that moving from enactive to iconic to symbolic is effective. Jerome Bruner postulated
three forms of representation: enactive representation, iconic representation, and symbolic
representation.

2. Ausubel suggested that knowledge is organized hierarchically and that new information may be
absorbed into the current hierarchy. As a student, it aids with the acquisition and retention of vast
amounts of information via visual or textual sources. Gestalt psychology contributed significantly to the
field of psychology. Many facts about perception, such as the perception of movement, the perception
of contour, perceptual consistency, and perceptual illusions, were first demonstrated scientifically and
documented by the Gestaltists. It is beneficial to learn purposefully and with a goal in mind as a learner.
The learner is motivated. Acquaint yourself with the learning's precise goals and objectives. The
emphasis is on the overall problem — the maxim "from whole to parts." Last but not least is Bruner's
thesis, according to which the goal of education is to create independent learners who have 'learned
how to learn.' His studies on children's cognitive development postulated three "modes of
representation": active representation, passive representation, and active representation (based on
action). As a student, being aware of the several learning modes (active, iconic, and symbolic) will help
you organize and prepare relevant resources for instruction based on the level of difficulty.
