Study Notes
- Learning involves acquiring knowledge and skills.
- Learning is a process where behavior is modified through experience or training.
- Teaching theories are either teacher-centered or learner-centered.
- In teacher-centered learning, the teacher is the main authority.
- Students are considered empty vessels in teacher-centered learning.
- Assessments in teacher-centered learning consist of scored tests.
- In learner-centered learning, the teacher coaches and facilitates.
- Students play an active role in learner-centered learning.
- Assessments in learner-centered learning are both formal and informal.
- Learner-Centered Psychological Principles (LPPs) were developed by the American Psychological Association.
- LPPs focus on the psychological factors within the learner's control.
- LPPs deal with learners holistically in real-world learning situations.
- There are 14 Learner-Centered Psychological Principles divided into 4 factors: cognitive & metacognitive, motivational & effective, developmental & social, and individual difference.
Cognitive and Metacognitive Factors
- Effective learning occurs when constructing meaning from information and experience.
- Successful learning is achieved with instructional guidance to create meaningful knowledge representations over time.
- Successful learners can connect new information to existing knowledge.
- Successful learners can use thinking and reasoning strategies to meet learning goals.
- Higher-order mental strategies support creative and critical thinking.
- Learning is influenced by environmental elements like culture, technology, and teaching methods.
Motivational and Affective Factors
- What is learned depends on the learner's motivation, which is affected by emotions, beliefs, interests, goals, and thinking habits.
- Creativity, higher-order thinking, and curiosity boost motivation to learn.
- Intrinsic motivation is cultivated by personally relevant tasks of optimal novelty and difficulty, and offering personal choice.
- Acquiring complex skills requires learner effort and practice, which require motivation to be effectively exerted without coercion.
Developmental and Social Factors
- As individuals grow, learning opportunities and constraints vary.
- Effective learning considers development within physical, intellectual, emotional, and social areas.
- Learning is affected by socializing, relations with other people, and connection.
Individual Differences Factors
- Learners use different learning strategies and capabilities, based on prior experience, and heredity.
- Effective learning takes into account linguistic, cultural, and social differences.
- Setting appropriate expectations and assessing learning progress with diagnostic processes and outcome assessment are integral parts of the learning process.
