Study Notes
Learner-Centered Psychological Principles
- Fourteen principles guide the learning process, focusing on internal learner factors and acknowledging external contextual influences.
Cognitive and Metacognitive Factors
- Nature of learning: Meaningful construction of knowledge from information and experiences is key. This includes intentional processes like knowledge generation. Effective learners are proactive, goal-oriented, self-regulating, and responsible.
- Learning goals: Learners, with support, create meaningful representations of knowledge. Goals start short-term, becoming refined over time. Educators should help create goals aligning with personal and educational aspirations.
- Knowledge construction: Linking new information to existing knowledge, widening and deepening understanding. This integration is crucial for effective knowledge application and transfer. Strategies like concept mapping and categorization can aid this process.
- Strategic thinking: Utilizing varied thinking and reasoning strategies to achieve learning goals. Adapting and expanding strategies, via reflection, feedback, and observation, enhances outcomes.
- Thinking about thinking: Metacognitive strategies (higher order thinking) involve reflecting on learning, goal-setting, selecting strategies, and monitoring progress. Adjusting approaches when needed is essential. Instruction should focus on developing metacognitive strategies.
- Context of learning: Learning environments (culture, technology, practices) influence the learning process. Teachers play a crucial interactive role, acknowledging cultural impacts. Appropriate technology and context are crucial.
Motivational and Affective Factors
- Motivation and emotions: Emotional states, beliefs, interests, goals, and habits influence learning.
- Positive emotions enhance learning (curiosity). Mild anxiety can focus attention positively. Negative emotions hinder learning and performance (e.g., intense anxiety, worry).
- Intrinsic motivation: Curiosity, higher-order thinking, and innate curiosity drive intrinsic motivation. Optimal novelty, personal relevance, and choice in learning activities facilitate intrinsic motivation.
- Effort and motivation: Acquiring complex knowledge and skills requires sustained effort and guided practice. Motivation fuels such effort, overcoming any potential external coercion. Methods for fostering positive emotions and perceived task relevance increase effort.
Developmental and Social Factors
- Developmental influences: Learning effectiveness depends on considering developmental differences (physical, intellectual, emotional, social). Individual development varies, emphasizing the importance of individualized learning materials.
- Social influences: Interactions, relations, and communication with others impact learning. Collaborative settings enhance perspective-taking and cognitive, social, and moral development. Positive social climates foster safe idea-sharing, participation, and community.
Individual Differences Factors
- Individual differences: Learners develop unique learning strategies, approaches, and capabilities due to prior experience and genetics. Learning preferences are crucial for success; educators should support modifying preferences when necessary.
- Learning and diversity: Learning principles apply to all learners, but individual backgrounds (linguistic, cultural, social) influence learning; these factors must be considered in the learning environment. Value for diversity enhances motivation and achievement.
Standards and Assessment
- Standards and assessment: Setting appropriate standards, and various assessments (diagnostic, process, outcome) are integral to effective learning. These inform both learners and teachers. Standards allow learners to work towards high goals and challenges. Appropriate difficulty in instructional tasks, feedback, and self-assessment skills enhance outcomes.
