A detailed description of David Ausubel’s classical meaningful learning theory is presented according to the author’s interpretation, or reinterpretation. The theory is not presented as new, but as a present day theory. It is argued that a superficial and polissemic appropriation of the meaningful learning concept has occurred in such a way that any teaching strategy now has meaningful learning as target. However, in practice most of those strategies, or the school in general, are still promoting much more rote learning than meaningful learning. For this reason, the text attempts to clarify what is, after all, meaningful learning. This is done approaching this concept recursively throughout the text in order to promote its progressive differentiation.
