Definition
As generative learning is a process of generating comprehension by constructing relations between concepts of learning material and between concepts of learning material and knowledge and experiences, it can be improved by encouraging learners to construct such relations. A model of teaching that gives clear recommendations on how teachers can encourage their learners to construct such relations is the model of generative teaching(Wittrock 1991), which is based on the assumptions of the model of generative learning. In analogy to the model of generative learning that consists of four processes, the main assumption of the model of generative teaching is that "successful teaching of the generative processes of learning involves attending to" (Wittrock 1991, p. 174) the four processes described in the model of generative learning: memory, motivation, attention, generation.
