Study Notes
Learner-Centered Psychological Principles (LCP)
- Developed by the American Psychological Association; focus on the learner and learning processes.
- Internal psychological factors and external contextual factors shape learning experiences.
- Principles should be viewed holistically, engaging with real-world learning scenarios.
Categories of Principles
- Cognitive and Metacognitive Factors
- Motivational and Affective Factors
- Developmental and Social Factors
- Individual Differences Factors
Cognitive and Metacognitive Factors
- Nature of Learning: Successful learning is intentional, focusing on constructing meaning from experiences.
- Goals of Learning: Students develop coherent knowledge representations with educator support, guided by personal goals.
- Construction of Knowledge: Linking new information to prior knowledge enhances understanding and transferability.
- Strategic Thinking: Successful learners use various thinking strategies, reflecting on their efficacy and adapting as needed.
- Thinking About Thinking: Reflective strategies help learners to set goals, monitor progress, and adapt problem-solving approaches.
- Context of Learning: Environmental factors, including culture and instructional practices, significantly influence learning.
Motivational and Affective Factors
- Motivational Influences: Motivation is crucial for learning; emotional states and personal beliefs can affect academic performance.
- Intrinsic Motivation: Stimulated by relevant and challenging tasks, fostering creativity and higher-order thinking.
- Motivation and Effort: Longer engagement and effort are necessary for mastering complex skills; relevance and interest in tasks are key.
Developmental and Social Factors
- Developmental Influences: Learning effectiveness varies with individuals' developmental stages; materials should align with their abilities.
- Social Influences: Social interactions enrich learning; diverse, collaborative settings encourage cognitive and moral development.
Individual Differences Factors
- Individual Differences: Learners have diverse strategies and abilities influenced by genetics and experiences; pedagogical sensitivity is necessary.
- Learning and Diversity: Acknowledging linguistic, cultural, and social variations enhances motivation and achievement; personalized approaches are critical.
- Standards and Assessment: High standards and effective assessments, including diagnostic techniques, are essential for optimal learning outcomes.
Summary of the 14 Principles
- Knowledge Base: Prior knowledge lays the groundwork for future learning.
- Strategic Processing: Development of skills for regulating thoughts and behaviors is essential.
- Motivation and Affect: Intrinsic motivation plays a significant role in learning efficacy.
- Development and Individual Differences: Each learner's background influences their learning journey.
- Learning Context: Education occurs within a societal framework and individual experiences.
