The teacher acts as the learning facilitator COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION while the learners are active participants in the teaching-learning process. Ed 105 – Facilitating Learner-Centered Teaching Villalobos, M.J.  Learner-Centered Teaching BATANGAS STATE UNIVERSITY THE NATIONAL ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY As a learning facilitator, the teacher provides the learners with varied COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION opportunities to enhance their knowledge, skills, and attitudes while emphasizing the 21st century skills of collaboration, communication, critical thinking and problem solving, and creative thinking and innovation. Ed 105 – Facilitating Learner-Centered Teaching Villalobos, M.J.  Learner-Centered Teaching BATANGAS STATE UNIVERSITY THE NATIONAL ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY As a learning facilitator, teachers must creatively plan varied interactive learning COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION activities in the classroom.

COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION Try to remember how your preschool to senior high school teachers taught you. Did your teachers utilize learner-centered teaching? If yes, how did they do it? Ed 105 – Facilitating Learner-Centered Teaching Villalobos, M.J.  Learner-Centered Psychological Principles BATANGAS STATE UNIVERSITY THE NATIONAL ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY Psychology plays a very important role in COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION understanding the teaching and learning process. Many innovations in the learning process have been made possible because of the contributions of psychology. Psychology is a branch of science that studies human behavior, and helps educators and teachers to understand the nature of diversity of learners. Ed 105 – Facilitating Learner-Centered Teaching Villalobos, M.J.  Learner-Centered Psychological Principles BATANGAS STATE UNIVERSITY THE NATIONAL ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY Teachers are now more confident and COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION competent to teach because of a deep understanding of their learners. They can facilitate learning according to the learners’ needs. History has been witnessed as to how concepts, information, and studies in psychology have helped immensely in understanding the nature of the human being.

Teaching strategies are made more appropriate for every learner. Part of human nature is learning, which has been made interesting because of the application of knowledge obtained from psychology. Studies are continuously undertaken to enhance knowledge about the teaching and learning process. Ed 105 – Facilitating Learner-Centered Teaching Villalobos, M.J.  Learner-Centered Psychological Principles BATANGAS STATE UNIVERSITY THE NATIONAL ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY The 14 Learner-Centered Psychological Principles are categorized as follows: COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION (1) cognitive and metacognitive factors; (2) motivational and affective; (3) developmental and social; and (4) individual difference factors.
