The study aims to understand humanescent experiential pedagogy as a technology for teaching, according to the theory of significant learning. This is a theoretical essay, which is developed based on two concepts: humanescent experiential pedagogy, which consists of an innovative pedagogical strategy for teaching, and Ausubel’s theory of meaningful learning, which concerns the cognitive interaction between new knowledge and prior experience, in order to strengthen the learner in how to be active in building their knowledge. It is therefore concluded that humanescent experiential pedagogy presents assumptions consistent with the theory of meaningful learning, comprising important technology for teaching,in addition to contributing to paradigm shifts in the education scenario.
