Study Notes

Learner-Centered Psychological Principles

  • The American Psychological Association developed 14 principles focused on learners and learning.
  • These principles prioritize internal psychological factors over conditioned habits or physiology.
  • They also acknowledge the influence of the external environment.
  • The principles are intended as a holistic guide for understanding learning in real-world contexts.

Cognitive and Metacognitive Factors

  • Nature of the learning process: Effective learning involves intentionally constructing meaning from information and experience. Learning processes vary, including habit formation and knowledge/skill generation.
  • Goals of the learning process: Students create meaningful representations of knowledge and develop learning strategies. Learners generate short-term and long-term goals.

Motivational and Affective Factors

  • Motivational and emotional influences: A learner's motivation to learn is influenced by emotions, beliefs, interests, goals, and thought habits.
  • Intrinsic motivation: Learners are motivated when tasks are novel, challenging, personally relevant, and allow for choice and control.

Developmental and Social Factors

  • Developmental influences: Learning is most effective when considerations are given to various physical, intellectual, social and emotional developmental variations.
  • Social influences: Learning is influenced by social interactions, interpersonal relationships, and communication with others. Learning settings should support diversity and interaction.

Individual Differences Factors

  • Individual differences in learning: Learners use diverse strategies, approaches, and capabilities, influenced by prior experiences and heredity.
  • Learning and diversity: Learners' backgrounds (linguistic, cultural, and social) should inform instructional practices, and learning benefits from valuing and respecting individual differences.

Standards and Assessment

  • Assessment: Assessment provides information on learner progress, strengths, and weaknesses, and helps inform instructional decisions.
  • Self-assessment: Learners can enhance their self-assessment skills and motivation by evaluating their learning progress.
  • Setting standards and assessment: The importance of setting and regularly assessing learning quality is noted.

The Stages of Development and Developmental Tasks

  • The stages of development presented include infancy, childhood, adolescence, early adulthood, middle adulthood, and later maturity. Each phase of life is associated with specific developmental tasks.
  • Detailed descriptions and examples are referenced from specific texts (e.g., Santrock, 2002)
