    Study Notes

    Psychology of Learning

    • Educational psychology, the origin of psychology, spans from ancient Greek philosophers to contemporary cognitive psychology.
    • Key figures like Plato, Aristotle, John Locke, and John Comenius laid early foundations for understanding learning processes.
    • Wilhelm Wundt is considered the father of modern experimental psychology for conducting controlled research.
    • More recent influences include Lev Vygotsky's concept of the Zone of Proximal Development and Jean Piaget's cognitive development stages (schemas, assimilation, accommodation).
    • Modern educational psychology integrates knowledge of general psychology with the practical challenges of education.

    Human Cognition and Behaviour (I-IV)

    • Memory models: the multi-store model (Sensory Memory, Short-term, Long-term Memory) and the working memory model (phonological loop, visuospatial sketchpad, central executive).
    • Knowledge acquisition: critical processes to encode, store, and retrieve information, such as encoding, storage, retrieval, and attention.
    • Cognitive load theory: distinguishes intrinsic load (inherent difficulty of material), extraneous load (poorly designed instruction), and germane load (actively processing meaningful information).
    • The goal of instructional design is to minimize extraneous load while maximizing germane load.

    Learning Theories

    • Information processing theory: focuses on the cognitive processes of learning.
    • Cognitive theory of multimedia learning (Mayer & Moreno, 2003): describes how people process and understand multimedia information.
    • Behaviourism: Explains learning through associations and consequences of behaviour. Classical conditioning (Pavlov) and operant conditioning (Skinner) are key concepts.
    • Social cognitive theory (Bandura) emphasizes the importance of observation, imitation, and reciprocal determinism in learning.
    • Cognitive load theory: Explains how learners process information, and how cognitive load affects learning.

    Self-Regulated Learning

    • Self-regulated learning (SRL) is a learning process where learners manage their learning independently (goals, strategies, and monitoring progress) .
    • Self-determination theory (SDT): the basic psychological needs for intrinsic motivation. These are: competence, autonomy, and relatedness.
    • Zimmerman's cyclical model: planning, self-monitoring, and reflection.
    • Winne and Hadwin's model: emphasizes cognitive aspects of learning, metacognitive strategies and self-regulation.

    Motivation and Learning

    • Motivation: a state that initiates, directs, and sustains motivated behavior.
    • Expectancy-value theory (Eccles): motivation depends on the expectancy of success and the value of the outcome.
    • Cognitive load theory, understanding how people's emotions affect their motivational strategies.
    • Types of motivation: intrinsic (interest-driven) vs. extrinsic (external rewards), with varying degrees of self-determination.
