Study Notes

Exam Questions and Answers

  • Question 1: Effective learning involves connecting new information to existing knowledge. Options include reviewing notes, using mnemonics, repeating information, and relating new information to prior knowledge. Relating new information to prior knowledge is the most effective method.

  • Question 2: Strategies for transferring learning from one context to another include encouraging self-reflection and metacognition, and using multiple learning modalities. Encouraging self-reflection is the most effective option.

  • Question 3: Strategies for developing metacognitive skills include setting goals, monitoring progress, using interactive/variety of learning modalities, and repeating information multiple times. Setting goals and monitoring progress helps learners develop metacognitive skills.
    Using interactive learning modalities is also beneficial to this goal.

  • Question 4: Reflecting on oneself as a self-learner involves metacognitive processing

  • Question 5: Metacognitive strategies enhance learning and problem-solving abilities by breaking down complex tasks, reflecting, and prioritizing.

  • Question 6: Advantages of using metacognitive strategies include promoting self-regulated learning and allowing for more individualized learning. Disadvantages include difficulties with implementing these strategies in large lecture-style classes and the cognitive demandingness of metacognition. The disadvantages are highly contextual.

  • Question 7: Metacognition contributes to the development of critical thinking and reasoning by encouraging reflection on oneself and on the subject. Using prior knowledge will also enhance these skills.

Learner-Centered Psychological Principles

  • Principle 1: Students are given choices and are allowed to participate in decision-making regarding their learning.

  • Principle 2: Individual differences are recognised and catered to, with learning strategies flexible to individual differences.

  • Principle 3: Teaching promotes social interaction, teamwork and interpersonal relationships. Students should reflect on their own learning.

  • Principle 4: Learning is a meaning-making process where students create and construct knowledge. Feedback and reflection are key components in the process.

  • Principle 5: Standardized assessment is based on defined criteria or standards. Feedback on the progress is important.

  • Principle 6: Context of learning (e.g. setting, culture, historical period) greatly impacts learning.

  • Principle 7: Motivation is an important component of learning, where intrinsic motivation is better than extrinsic. Learners should be motivated to learn the subject matter.

  • Principle 8: Prior knowledge significantly impacts how students learn. Prior learning and experience will influence new learning.

  • Principle 9: Learners should be supported to feel good as they work on a task, and to feel confident to make mistakes and not feel anxious or distressed. Emotion is a key factor in learning and development.

  • Principle 10: Learning is influenced by variables and this should be addressed through a flexible approach to teaching and learning.
