David Paul Ausubel (1918–2008) was an American psychologist born in New York. His most significant contribution to the fields of educational psychology, cognitive science, and science education learning was on the development and research on advance organizers〔(Advance organizers )〕 since 1960. ==Biography== He was born on October 25, 1918 and grew up in Brooklyn, New York.〔Ausubel, D.P. David Ausubel. Retrieved June 9, 2010, from http://www.davidausubel.org/〕 He was nephew of the Jewish historian Nathan Ausubel. He studied at the University of Pennsylvania where he graduated with honors in 1939, receiving a bachelor's degree majoring in Psychology. Ausubel later graduated from medical school in 1943 at Middlesex University where he went on to complete a rotating internship at Gouveneur Hospital, located in the lower east side of Manhattan, New York.〔 Following his military service with the US Public Health Service, Ausubel earned his M.A. and Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology from Columbia University in 1950.〔 He continued to hold a series of professorships at several schools of education. In 1973, Ausubel retired from academic life and devoted himself to his psychiatric practice. During his psychiatric practice, Ausubel published many books as well as articles in psychiatric and psychological journals. In 1976, he received the Thorndike Award from the American Psychological Association for "Distinguished Psychological Contributions to Education".〔 In 1994, at the age of 75, Ausubel retired from professional life to devote himself full-time to writing. He then published four books:〔 ''Ego development and Psychopathology'' (1996), '' The Acquisition and Retention of Knowledge'' (2000), ''Theory and Problems of Adolescent Development'' (2002) and ''Death and the Human Condition'' (2002), in the last of which he wrote about the psychology of death and impressed his own personal psychological, theological and philosophical thoughts on the nature and implications of the afterlife.〔Ausubel, David. 2002. ''(Death and the Human Condition )''. iUniverse. (Preface). ISBN 9780595231973〕 In this book, Ausubel conceptualized death from the perspective of both Christian believers and non-believers. He wrote that "the relevance and value of faith should certainly not be derogated or treated pejoratively, as atheists, agnostics, and rationalists tend to do."〔Ausubel, David. 2002. ''(Death and the Human Condition )''. iUniverse. p. 46〕 He died on July 9, 2008.〔http://www.davidausubel.org/〕 Ausubel and his wife Pearl had two children, Fred and Laura Ausubel. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Ausubel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
