Study Notes
Learner-Centered Psychological Principles
- APA's Task Force on Psychology in Education developed 14 learner-centered principles to integrate psychological and educational research, aiming to inform school reform.
- Principles cover four domains: metacognitive and cognitive factors, affective and motivational factors, developmental and social factors, and individual difference factors.
- "Learner-centered" involves understanding individuals' heredity, experience, backgrounds, talents, interests, capacities, and needs, coupled with best learning knowledge and effective teaching practices.
- This approach informs educational decision-making and supports learning for all, regardless of age or location.
- Principles guide teachers to include learners in decisions, value diverse perspectives, accommodate individual differences, and collaborate with learners.
Cognitive and Metacognitive Factors
- Nature of Learning: Complex learning is most effective when learners construct meaning from information and experience.
- Learning Goals: Learners create meaningful, coherent knowledge representations with support.
- Knowledge Construction: Learners effectively connect new information to existing knowledge, building a deeper understanding.
- Strategic Thinking: Learners use various thinking strategies to achieve learning goals, including reasoning, problem-solving, and concept learning.
- Thinking about thinking: Learners reflect on their learning processes, set goals, choose effective strategies, and monitor progress.
- Learning Context: Learning is influenced by environment, culture, technology, and educational practices.
Motivational and Affective Factors
- Motivational Influences: Thoughts, beliefs, goals, and expectations impact learning and information processing.
- Intrinsic Motivation: Optimal task novelty, personal interest, choice, and control stimulate intrinsic motivation to learn.
- Effort and Motivation: Learning complex knowledge requires consistent effort and persistence.
Developmental and Social Factors
- Developmental Influences: Learning benefits from considering physical, intellectual, emotional, and social development across individuals.
- Social Influences: Interaction and collaboration enhance learning.
Individual Difference Factors
- Individual Differences: Learners possess unique talents and capabilities, determined by genetics and environment.
- Learning and Diversity: Same learning, motivation, and instruction principles apply to everyone.
- Standards and Assessment: Assessment provides valuable information for learners and educators.
Definition of Metacognition
- Metacognition is "knowledge concerning one's cognitive processes and learning-relevant properties of information."
- It's about knowing how one thinks and actively monitoring and regulating those processes to achieve goals.
Components of Metacognition
- Metacognitive Knowledge: Composed of declarative (knowing what), procedural (knowing how), and conditional (knowing when and why) knowledge.
- Declarative Knowledge: Learner's knowledge of things, their abilities, and factors influencing their performance.
- Procedural Knowledge: Knowledge of executing skills and competencies.
- Conditional Knowledge: Skill in understanding when and why strategies are appropriate.
Metacognitive Regulation
- Metacognitive regulation involves learners actively planning, monitoring, and evaluating their learning, making adjustments as needed.
Principles of Metacognitive Instruction
- Metacognitive instruction should integrate metacognitive techniques with subject matter.
- Learners should recognize the benefits to motivate metacognitive efforts.
- Learners need extended instruction to maintain metacognitive activities.
Metacognitive Strategies
- Effective learners develop their specific learning strategies.
- Inner language supports the development of high-level cognitive skills.
Implementing Metacognitive Strategies
- Metacognitive strategies help students understand how they learn, providing a plan for acquiring information.
- Teachers can help students with learning disabilities by creating appropriate plans.
- These strategies promote independence and efficient information acquisition. (Examples include, think-alouds, journaling, checklists, graphic organizers, and explicit modeling.)
Cognitive Learning
- Cognitive learning centers on effective brain use, with cognition being the mental process of gaining knowledge.
- Cognitive learning theory combines cognition and learning to explain effective learning.
Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development
- Piaget's theory posits that children actively construct knowledge, adapting schemas to new information through assimilation and accommodation.
- Stages of Cognitive Development:
- Sensorimotor (birth-2 years): Understanding the world through senses and actions.
- Preoperational (2-7 years): Symbolic thinking, but egocentric.
- Concrete Operational (7-11 years): Logical thinking about concrete events.
- Formal Operational (12+ years): Abstract reasoning and hypothetical problems.
Educational Implications of Piaget's Theory
- Develop developmentally appropriate education, focusing on process over product.
- Encourage self-initiated learning through activities.
- Avoid premature teaching, emphasizing true understanding over imitation.
- Support individuals, considering individual differences in developmental progress.
Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory
-
Vygotsky's theory emphasizes social interaction as crucial in the development of cognition.
-
The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) denotes the area of learning where learners benefit from social interaction.
-
Emphasizes the importance of the role of social interaction in language development.
- Stages of Speech Development
- Social/External Speech: Preverbal stage. Communicating basic needs and desires.
- Egocentric Speech: Directing own actions.
- Inner Speech: Internal language guiding thinking and actions.
- Stages of Speech Development
-
Language involves both expression and comprehension.
