    Study Notes

    Learner-Centered Psychological Principles

    • The 14 learner-centered psychological principles were developed by the American Psychological Association (APA)
    • The principles are divided into four categories: cognitive and metacognitive, motivational and affective, developmental and social, and individual differences.

    Cognitive and Metacognitive

    • Learning complex subjects is most effective when it is an intentional process.
    • Learners can create meaningful representations of knowledge over time with support.
    • Learners successfully link new information to existing knowledge in meaningful ways.
    • Learners use a repertoire of thinking and reasoning strategies to achieve complex learning goals.
    • Higher-order strategies for selecting and monitoring mental operations facilitate creative and critical thinking.
    • The context of learning is influenced by cultural, technological, and instructional practices.
    • Motivation influences the acquisition of complex knowledge and skills, requiring extended effort and guided practice.

    Motivational and Affective

    • Learners are more likely to learn when they are intrinsically motivated.
    • The learner's creativity, higher-order thinking, and natural curiosity contribute to motivation to learn.

    Developmental and Social

    • Developmental opportunities and constraints influence learning as individuals grow.
    • Social interactions, interpersonal relations, and communication influence learning with others.

    Individual Differences

    • Learners have unique strategies, approaches, and capabilities for learning based on prior experience and heredity.
    • Learning is most effective when differences in learners' linguistic, cultural, and social backgrounds are considered.
    • Setting challenging standards and assessing the learner and learning progress are essential.

    Alexander and Murphy's Five Key Areas

    • Existing knowledge forms the foundation of all future learning.
    • Learners can develop skills to reflect and regulate their thoughts and behaviors to learn more effectively.
    • Intrinsic motivation, personal goals, and enjoyment of learning tasks are crucial for the learning process.
    • Learning is a unique journey for each person due to their unique combination of genetic and environmental factors.
    • Learning happens within the context of society and the individual.

    Human Development

    • Development is defined as the process where a person's growth is influenced by physical, environmental, and social factors.
    • Heredity and environment influence development.
    • Development is predictable, sequential, gradual, and continuous.
    • Development is a product of heredity and environment.
    • Development is multidimensional and includes growth, maintenance, and regulation.

    Stages of Human Development

    • Prenatal Stage: Conception and development begin. Three stages of prenatal development are germinal, embryonic, and fetal periods.
    • Infancy and Toddlerhood: The first year and a half to two years of life are marked by dramatic growth and change.
    • Early Childhood: Children start to explore their world during this stage, developing autonomy and initiative.
    • Middle Childhood: Children face the task of industry vs. inferiority by comparing themselves to their peers.
    • Adolescence: The focus is on identity development with identity vs. role confusion
    • Early Adulthood: Individuals seek intimacy and connection with others.
    • Middle Adulthood: The focus shifts to generativity and contributing to society.
    • Late Adulthood: Individuals strive for integrity and reflect on their life experiences.

    Psychosexual Development

    • Sigmund Freud proposed five psychosexual stages that influence personality development: oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital stages.
