Study Notes
Motivational and Affective Factors
- Learners' motivation influences what and how much they learn.
- Motivation is affected by personal emotions, beliefs, interests, goals, and thinking habits.
- Intrinsic motivation is fueled by engaging tasks that offer novelty, challenge, relevance to personal interests, and control.
- Acquisition of complex knowledge and skills requires sustained effort and practice.
- Lack of motivation makes sustained effort unlikely without external pressure.
Developmental and Social Factors
- Development influences learning opportunities and constraints.
- Effective learning considers differences in physical, intellectual, emotional, and social development.
- Social interactions, relationships, and communication impact learning.
Individual Differences Factors
- Learners have unique learning strategies, approaches, and abilities based on prior experiences and heredity.
- Effective learning accommodates linguistic, cultural, and social background differences.
- Setting high standards and assessing learner progress through diagnostic, process, and outcome assessments are crucial for learning.
Ausubel’s Meaningful Verbal/Learning Subsumption Theory
- Ausubel's theory suggests that a student's existing knowledge, known as their cognitive structure, is the most critical factor in learning.
- Meaningful learning occurs when new information is connected to existing knowledge.
- Ausubel emphasizes the use of advance organizers to strengthen students' cognitive structure and facilitate the acquisition and retention of new information.
- The principle of subsumption, where new material is related to existing knowledge, is central to his theory.
- Prior knowledge and biases can limit and influence what is learned.
- Retention of new knowledge is enhanced when it is based on prior concrete concepts.
- Meaningful learning can occur through derivative subsumption (new information as an example), correlative subsumption (complementary information), and superordinate learning (new information as a general concept).
