    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).
