Study Notes

Socratic Awareness and Metacognitive Knowledge

Socratic awareness is the ability to make self-reflective judgments, often used in studies for adult learners
It involves the PQR3R strategy:
- P: previewing the topic
- Q: questioning the topic
- R: reading and finding meanings to unfamiliar words
- R: reciting answers to questions
- R: reviewing topics for better understanding
- R: reflecting on concepts and applying them

Metacognitive Knowledge

Metacognitive knowledge is also known as metacognitive awareness
It refers to what individuals know about themselves and others as cognitive processors
It involves being aware of one's own thought processes and learning strategies

Person Variables

Person variables refer to the "what" of learning, or the individual differences that affect learning
Cognitive development is an important aspect of person variables, as it considers the active role of the individual in learning

Cognitive Development

Cognitive development explains how a child understands the world, including how they think, reason, remember, and solve problems
It involves four stages:
- Sensorimotor stage (birth to 2 years old): characterized by responding to people and things through reflex movements
- Stage 2: Not mentioned
- Stage 3: Conventional (social approval orientation): deciding what is right or wrong based on social approval
- Stage 4: Law and order (authority orientation): deciding what is right or wrong based on rules and regulations

Learner-Centered Teaching

Learner-centered teaching is an approach that places the learner at the center of the learning process
It involves modeling effective learner-centered practices and promoting student motivation and learning
Planning is an important aspect of learner-centered teaching, involving the correct allocation of resources that affect task performance

Importance of Understanding Learner-Centered Learning

Understanding learner-centered learning helps students develop skills that will equip them for their professional careers
The end goal is to develop students to be autonomous and independent learners
