LEARNER-CENTERED PSYCHOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES
The LCPPs were put together by the ____? APA
American Psychological Association
The learning of complex subject matter is
most effective when it is an intentional process of
constructing meaning from information and
experience.
. Nature of the learning process
The successful learner, over time and with
support and instructional guidance, can create
meaningful, coherent representations of
knowledge.
Goals of the learning process
The successful learner can link new
information with existing knowledge in
meaningful ways.
Construction of knowledge
The successful learner can create and use a
repertoire of thinking and reasoning strategies to
achieve complex learning goals.
Strategic thinking
Higher order strategies for selecting and
monitoring mental operations facilitate creative
and critical thinking
. Thinking about thinking
Learning is influenced by environmental
factors, including culture, technology, and
instructional practices.
. Context of 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.
Motivational and emotional
influences on learning
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
Intrinsic motivation to learn
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.
Effects of motivation on effort
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.
