Study Notes
Learner-Centered Psychological Principles
- Psychology plays a crucial role in understanding teaching and learning.
- Psychology helps educators and teachers understand learners' diverse needs.
- Modern teachers are more competent due to a deep understanding of their learners.
- Teaching strategies are designed for each learner's needs.
- Studies continuously refine teaching and learning methods.
Introduction to Learner-Centered Principles
- 14 Learner-Centered Psychological Principles were categorized into four groups: cognitive/metacognitive, motivational/affective, developmental/social, and individual differences.
- These principles shape teaching and learning processes.
- Cognitive factors concern the mental processes learners use to process information.
- Metacognitive factors involve how learners think about their thinking.
Nature of Learning Process
- Effective learning of complex topics is intentional and involves constructing meaning from experiences.
- Teachers guide learners to be active, goal-directed, and responsible for their learning.
- Learning activities allow learners to connect knowledge to their experiences.
- Learning by doing is most effective.
Goals of Learning
- Successful learners create meaningful knowledge representations.
- Learners need to set and pursue their own goals.
- Effective learning occurs when what is presented connects with learner needs and interests.
- Understanding concepts enables learners to achieve long-term goals.
Construction of Knowledge
- Successful learners connect new information to existing knowledge.
- Teachers should connect new information to learners' prior experiences.
- Constructivism emphasizes creating new knowledge from existing knowledge.
- Collaborative activities, concept mapping, and group discussions are effective strategies.
Strategic Thinking
- Strategic thinkers use knowledge to solve problems, address concerns, and make decisions.
- Strategic thinkers see mistakes as learning experiences.
- Learners need many opportunities to learn, experiment, and solve problems.
- Teachers should foster creative and innovative thinking.
Thinking About Thinking
- Higher-order thinking skills (HOTS), like evaluation and analysis, enable creative critical thinking.
- Learners develop critical thinking skills through opportunities to solve problems and process information.
- Authentic assessment tools are crucial for developing HOTS.
Context of Learning
- Learning is influenced by environmental factors: culture, technology, and instructional practices.
- Learning environments should reflect real-life experiences for deeper understanding.
- Teachers should select digital tools and instructional practices relevant to effective learning.
Motivational and Affective Factors
- Motivation and emotions are crucial in learner performance.
- Learners' inner drive, beliefs, interests, and habits influence learning.
- Teachers' role is to motivate learners to actively participate and engage with learning materials.
- Positive emotional states and behaviors are conducive to effective learning.
Intrinsic Motivation
- Learners' creativity, higher-order thinking, and curiosity drive intrinsic motivation.
- Intrinsic learners engage tasks because of personal fulfillment and satisfaction.
- Learners are personally rewarded by the activity itself.
Effects of Motivation
- Motivation is essential for acquiring sophisticated knowledge and skills.
- Learning requires effort and guided practice, fostering learners' commitment and enthusiasm.
- Teachers should actively encourage and facilitate the above.
Experience
- Learners acquire knowledge and skills from active engagement in experiences.
- Teachers' awareness of learners' backgrounds is vital for effective instruction.
- Varied learning methodologies and strategies foster effective cognition and positive affect.
- Prior knowledge helps learners master and apply new knowledge effectively.
Developmental and Social Factors
- Development significantly affects learning opportunities and constraints.
- Teachers should adapt learning methods to different developmental stages.
- Teaching should acknowledge diverse learning needs (intellectual, emotional, and social).
- Collaboration and communication with others are crucial to learning.
Individual Differences
- Learners have diverse learning strategies, approaches, and capabilities.
- Learning environments should consider individual differences in learners.
