Learning is no longer regarded as knowledge acquisition but as knowledge construction;therefore,learner is not a passive recipient but an active constructor.In generative and elaborative learning process,the learner’s existing knowledge is considered to be modified while it is used to construct a meaning from the text.Therefore,the focus in learning is on generating relations,rather than on storing information.This paper aims to draw the outlines of the main ideas of generative learning and their related concepts and theoretical significance.
