Study Notes
Learners and Teachers
- Learners are the center of instructional processes and educational endeavors.
- Instruction revolves around the active engagement and needs of learners.
- Teachers play a pivotal role in facilitating teaching and learning.
Learner-Centered Principle (LCP)
- Developed by the American Psychological Association (Alexander and Murphy).
- Focuses on the learning process and psychological factors affecting learners.
- Aims to enhance understanding and efficacy of education.
Successful Learners Characteristics
- Active participation in their education.
- Goal-oriented with clear objectives.
- Self-regulation to manage their learning processes.
14 Principles of Learning
- Comprised of cognitive, metacognitive, motivational, affective, individual differences, developmental, and social factors.
Cognitive and Metacognitive Factors
- Nature of Learning Process: Learning is most effective when intentionally constructing meaning from information.
- Goal of Learning Process: Successful learners create coherent knowledge representations over time with guidance.
- Construction of Knowledge: Linking new information to existing knowledge enhances understanding.
- Strategic Thinking: Successful learners utilize diverse thinking strategies to solve complex problems.
- Thinking About Thinking: Higher-order strategies facilitate creative and critical thinking.
- Context of Learning: Environmental factors like culture and technology significantly influence learning outcomes.
Motivational and Affective Factors
- Motivation Influences Learning: Both the quantity and quality of learning are affected by learners' motivation linked to their emotional states and beliefs.
- Intrinsic Motivation: Creativity and curiosity enhance motivation when tasks are relevant and allow personal choice.
- Effects of Motivation on Effort: Acquiring complex skills necessitates substantial effort; lack of motivation may hinder this.
Individual Differences Factors
- Diversity in Learning: Different learners exhibit varying strategies and capabilities influenced by prior experiences and genetics.
- Learning and Diversity: Recognizing individual differences enhances learning efficacy.
- Standards and Assessment: Setting high standards and assessing progress are vital parts of the educational process.
Developmental and Social Factors
- Developmental Influences: Learning is optimized when physical, intellectual, emotional, and social developmental differences are acknowledged.
- Social Influences: Interpersonal relations and communication significantly affect learning.
Domains of Development
- Physical Domain: Focuses on growth, motor skills, and general health.
- Cognitive Domain: Involves learning, memory, reasoning, and creativity.
- Psychosocial Domain: Relates to emotions, personality, and social relationships.
Developmental Tasks (Robert Havighurst)
- Identified stages of developmental tasks across different life phases: infancy, early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence.
Lifespan Perspective (Paul Baltes)
- Development spans the entire life and is influenced by biological, cognitive, and psychosocial changes.
- Key principles: lifelong development, multidimensionality, multidirectionality, plasticity, contextual influences, and multidisciplinary approaches.
Sigmund Freud's Theories
- Emphasized the significance of the conscious and unconscious mind on behavior.
- Psychoanalytic goals include bringing the unconscious to consciousness.
Jean Piaget's Contributions
- Pioneer in developmental psychology and cognitive development theories.
- Proposed that learning is rooted in experiential interaction.
Structure of Personality (Freud)
- ID: Operates on the pleasure principle, fulfilling basic needs and instincts.
- EGO: Functions based on the reality principle, balancing desires with rational thought.
- SUPER EGO: Represents moral standards and conscience, operating unconsciously and consciously.
Levels of Consciousness
- Unconscious: Outside awareness but influences behavior.
- Preconscious: Information that is not actively thought about but can be recalled.
- Conscious: Current awareness and active thought processes.
Piaget’s Stages of Cognitive Development
- Sensori-Motor Stage (0-2 years): Learning through sensory experiences and movement.
- Pre-Operational Stage (2-7 years): Thinking is symbolic and intuitive.
- Concrete Operational Stage (7-11 years): Development of logical and concrete operations.
- Formal Operational Stage (12+ years): Ability to think abstractly and consider hypothetical scenarios.
