Which principle states that new learning should be connected to what learners already know in order to be retained effectively?
Answer: Meaningful learning (Ausubel's assimilation theory)
Ausubel's assimilation theory argues that learners anchor new information to existing cognitive structures (advance organizers) for meaningful retention.
A hospitality educator uses 'exit tickets' at the end of each class session. The PRIMARY instructional purpose is to:
Answer: Gather formative data on what students understood or are still confused about
Exit tickets are a formative assessment tool that gives the instructor immediate insight into learning gaps before the next session.

An educator wants to use spaced practice to improve long-term retention of food safety regulations. Which schedule BEST reflects spaced practice?
