In my opinion Ausbel’s theory creates approaching between explanatory teaching and teaching by discovery, because both can favor a participatory attitude of the student, if it realizes as a first step the search in previous knowledge of them and thus motivate the significant assimilation.
In addition to this, it provides an important functions, the technic of conceptual maps, developed by Novak, that is useful to be able to analyze the relationship that students make between the concepts, and also can be used as previous organizers that looks for to stimulate the student´s participation.
I agree with you. Ausubel´s theory is essential for learning since it promotes students´motivation by connecting new knowlegde with prior knowledge.
