NAME: __________________________________
LESSON/ MODULE NUMBER: 2 Learner- Centered Psychological Principles
INTRODUCTION:
The learners are the center of instruction. The world of instruction revolves
around them. This module is focused on the 14 principles that run through all the
upcoming modules for this course.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
The learner should be able to:
- Explain how the 14 principles are used

- Identify ways on how you can apply the 14 principles in instruction as a future
teacher.
PRE- TEST
Do this activity before you read about the learner- centered principles.
1. Examine the title “Learner-Centered Principles” quickly jot down at least 5 words that
comes into your mind.
2. Go back to each word and write phrases about why you think the word can be
associated with LCP.
LEARNER-CENTERED PSYCHOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES
- The LCP principles were put together by the American Psychological Association
- Pertains to both learning and learning process.
- Focuses on psychological factors that are primarily internal to and under the control of
the learner rather than conditioned habits or physiological factors.
- Intended to deal holistically with learners in the context of real world learning
situations.
- These principles are divided into “cognitive and metacognitive”, “motivational and
affective”, “developmental and social” and “individual difference factor”.
- Intended to apply to all learners (children, teachers, administrators, parents and
community members involved in our educational system)
COGNITIVE AND METACOGNITIVE FACTORS

1. Nature of the learning process
- The learning of complex subject matter is most effective when it is an intentional process
of constructing meaning from information and experience.
2. Goals of learning process
- The successful learner, overtime and with support and instructional guidance, can create
meaningful, coherent representations of knowledge.
3. Construction of knowledge
- The successful learner can link new information with existing knowledge in meaningful
ways
4. Strategic Thinking
- The successful learner can create and use a repertoire of thinking and reasoning
strategies to achieve complex learning goals.
5. Thinking about thinking
- Higher order strategies for selecting and monitoring mental operations facilitate
creative and critical thinking.
6. Context of learning
- Learning is influenced by environmental factors, including culture, technology and
instructional practices.
MOTIVATIONAL AND AFFECTIVE FACTORS

7. Motivational and emotional influences on learning
- What and how much is learned is influenced by the learners’ motivation. Motivation to
learn, in turn, is influenced by the individual’s emotional states, beliefs, interests and
goals, and habits of thinking.
8. Intrinsic motivation to learn
- 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 interest, and providing for personal choice and control.
9. Effects of motivation on effort
- 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.
DEVELOPMENTAL AND SOCIAL FACTORS
10. Developmental influences on learning
- 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. Social influences on learning
- Learning is influenced by social interactions, inter personal relations and communication
with others.
INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES FACTORS

12. Individual differences in learning
- Learners have different strategies, approaches and capabilities for learning that are a
function of prior experience and heredity.
13. Learning and diversity
- Learning is most effective when differences in learners’ linguistic, cultural and social
backgrounds are taken into account.
14. Standards and assessment
- 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.
