LCPP Flashcards
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
What are the four parts of the LCPPs
Cognitive and Metacognitive Factors, Developmental and Social Factors, Motivational and Affective Factors, Individual Difference Factors
APA
American Psychological Association
Alexander and Murphy summarized the principles into 5, WHAT ARE THOSE?
The knowledge base, Strategic processing and control, Motivation and affect, Development and individual differences, Situation or context
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 inmeaningful 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
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.
Developmental influences on learning
Learning is influenced by social interactions, interpersonal relations, and communication with others.
Social influences on learning
Learners have different strategies, approaches, and capabilities for learning that are a function of prior experience and heredity.
Individual differences in learning
