Learner centered" is the perspective that couples a focus on

Learner-Centered
individual learners - Psychological
their heredity, Principles
experiences, perspectives,
backgrounds, talents, interests, capacities, and needs - with a focus on
leaning - the best available knowledge about learning and how it occurs
and about teaching practices
What are the 14 learning centered psychological principles?

COGNITIVE AND METACOGNITIVE FACTORS


• Nature of the learning process.
• Goals of the learning process.
• Construction of knowledge.
• Strategic thinking.
• Thinking about thinking.
• Context of learning.
MOTIVATIONAL and AFFECTIVE
FACTORS
• Motivational and emotional influences on learning.
• Intrinsic motivation to learn.
• Effects of motivation on effort

DEVELOPMENTAL and SOCIAL FACTORS


• Developmental influences on learning
• Social influences on learning
INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES FACTORS
• Individual Differences in learning
• Learning and Diversity
• Standards and Assessment

ALEXANDER and MURPHY gave a summary of the 14 principles and


distilled them into five areas:
1. The knowledge base
2. Strategic processing and control
3. Motivation and affect
4. Development and individual Differences
5. Situation or context

Two approaches to Human Development:


Traditional and life-Span approach
1. Development is lifelong--- it does not end in adulthood
2. Development is plastic--- plasticity refers to the potential for
change. Development is possible throughout the life-span. No one is
too old to learn.
• 3. Development is multidimensional---- as a process is complex
because it is the product of biological, cognitive and socioemotional
processes
• 4. Development is contextual
• 5. Development involves growth maintenance and regulations
Discussions on the 14 Principles
1. The learning of complex subject matter is most effective when it is
an intentional process of constructing meaning from information
and experience.
2. The successful learner, over time and with support and
instructional guidance, can create meaningful, coherent
representations of knowledge.
3. The successful learner can link new information with existing
knowledge in meaningful ways.
4. The successful learner can create and use a repertoire of thinking
and reasoning strategies to achieve complex learning goals.
5. Higher order strategies for selecting and monitoring mental
operations facilitate creative and critical thinking.
6. Learning is influenced by environmental factor, including culture,
technology, and instructional practices.
7. What and how much is learned is influenced by the learner’s
motivation. Motivation to learn, in turn, is influenced by the
individual’s emotional states, beliefs, interests and goals, and habits of
thinking.
8. The learner’s creativity, higher order thinking, and natural curiosity
all contribute to motivation to learn. Intrinsic motivation is stimulated
by tasks of optimal novelty and difficulty, relevant to personal
interests, and providing for personal choice and control.
9. Acquisition of complex knowledge and skills requires extended
learner effort and guided practice. Without learners’ motivation to
learn, the willingness to exert this effort is unlikely without coercion.
10. As individuals develop, there are different opportunities and
constraints for learning. Learning is most effective when differential
development within and across physical, intellectual, emotional, and
social domains is taken into account.
11. Learning is influenced by social interactions, interpersonal
relations, and communication with others.
12. Learners have different strategies, approaches, and capabilities for
learning that are a function of prior experience and heredity.
13. Learning is most effective when differences in learners’ linguistic,
cultural, and social backgrounds are taken into account.
14. Setting appropriately high and challenging standards and
assessing the learner as well as learning progress – including
diagnostic, process, and outcome assessment – are integral parts of
the learning process.
