What do we mean by the term
“learner-centered”?
The Nature of Learning
• LEARNING
• A change in the behavior of the learner
• Change can be
deliberate or unintentional
for better or for worse
correct or incorrect
conscious or unconscious
1
• Learning is a relatively permanent change
in behavior with behavior both including
observable activity and internal
processes. (Burns, 1995)
• Learning occurs when experience causes
a relatively permanent change in an
individual’s knowledge, behavior, or
potential for behavior. (Woolfolk, 2016)
• Learning is a relatively permanent
influence on behavior, knowledge, and
thinking skills that comes about through
experience. It is a long-term change in
mental representations or associations as
a result of experience. (Santrock, 2012)
What are the important elements
of learning?
Santrock’s definition of learning covers the
following elements:
• It is a long-term change
• The change is brought about by experience
• It does NOT include changes that are physiological
• It involves mental representation or association

Theories of Development
• Freud’s Psychosexual Theory
• Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory
• Kohlberg’s Moral Development Theory
• Piaget’s Cognitive Development Theory
• Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory
• Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory
Sigmund Freud’s Psychosexual Theory
of Development
Key Terms:
• Unconscious Mind; Libido; Erogenous Zones;
Fixation
Personality Structures:
• Id, Ego, Superego
Stages of Personality Development:
• Oral, Anal, Phallic, Latency, Genital
It is described by Freud as the
component/s of personality that is
concerned with the idea of right
and wrong.
a. Ego
b. Id
c. Superego
A boy is closer to his mother and a girl
is close to her father. These instances
are under what psychoanalytic stage
of development?
a. Oedipal stage
b. Latent stage
c. Phallic stage
d. Electra stage
Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory
of Development
• psycho + social; 8 stages
• psychosocial crisis of 2 opposing emotional forces
• virtue is developed if positives and negatives are
managed well; healthy ratio or balance
• Imbalance:
• MALIGNANCY – too little of the positive, too much of the negative
• MALADAPTATION – too much of the positive, too little of the
negative
According to Erikson, the best time
to let the children feel that the
environment is secured and non-
threatening is stage 3 (initiative vs.
guilt).
a. The statement is TRUE.
b. The statement is FALSE.
Which stage in Erikson’s theory do
teachers need to provide
teenagers opportunities to develop
a sense of self and individuality?
Lawrence Kohlberg’s Moral
Development Theory
• 3 levels, 6 stages
• each stage is based on a different moral standard
• Kohlberg was more interested in the ways that
people think about moral problems than in what
they will do when led into temptation
Lawrence Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral
Development
Heinz’s wife was dying from a particular type of cancer.
Doctors said a new drug might save her. The drug had been
discovered by a local chemist, and Heinz tried desperately to buy
some, but the chemist was charging ten times the money it cost to
make the drug, and this was much more than Heinz could afford.
Heinz could only raise half the money, even after help from
family and friends. He explained to the chemist that his wife was
dying and asked if he could have the drug cheaper or pay the rest
of the money later.
The chemist refused, saying that he had discovered the
drug and was going to make money from it. The husband was
desperate to save his wife, so later that night he broke into the
chemist’s and stole the drug.
Kohlberg asked a series of questions
such as:
• Should Heinz have stolen the drug?
• Would it change anything if Heinz did not love his
wife?
• What if the person dying was a stranger, would it
make any difference?
• Should the police arrest the chemist for murder if
the woman died?
Stages of Moral Development
Level Stage Description
1
Preconventional
Level
1
Punishment-
Obedience
Consequences of acts determine whether they are good or
bad. Individuals make moral decisions without
considering the needs or feelings of others.
2
Mutual
Benefit
The ethics of “What’s in it for me?” Obeying rules and
exchanging favors are judged in terms of the benefit to
the individual.
2
Conventional
Level
3
Social
Approval
Ethical decisions are based on concern for or the opinions
of others. What pleases, helps, or is approved of by others
characterizes this stage.
4
Law and
Order
The ethics of laws, rules, and societal order. Rules and
laws are inflexible and are obeyed for their own sake.
3
Postconventional
Level
5
Social
Contract
Rules and laws represent agreements among people
about behavior that benefits society. Rules can be
changed when they no longer meet society’s needs.
6
Universal
Principles
Ethics are determined by abstract and general principles
that transcend societal rules.
Laughing at a two-year-old child
who uttered a bad word is not a
proper thing to do because in this
stage of the child's life is
a. Considering the views of others
b. Distinguishing sex differences
c. Distinguishing right from wrong
d. Socializing
A Grade 6 pupil follows school
rules and regulations for fear of
being punished. The child is on
what level of moral development?
a. Preconventional
b. Conventional
c. Postconventional
Jean Piaget’s Cognitive Development
Theory
Basic Cognitive Concepts:
• SCHEMA – cognitive structures by which individuals
intellectually adapt to and organize their environment
• ASSIMILATION – process of fitting a new experience
into an existing or previously created cognitive
structure
• ACCOMMODATION – process of creating a new schema
• EQUILIBRATION – achieving proper balance between
assimilation and accommodation

Lev Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory
• Society and culture are important factors for a child to learn
• Language is our main medium for communication (in any
form possible)
• Thought and speech (social, egocentric, inner) are
connected but follows a different path of development
• SCAFFOLDING – appropriate assistance given
• ZONE OF ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT – level of competency
when a child performs alone
• ZONE OF PROXIMAL DEVELOPMENT – difference between
what a child can do alone and what s/he can do with the
help of others
Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems
Theory
• Natural environments are the major source of
influence on developing persons
• Environment/ Context - “a set of nested
structures, each inside the next, like a set of
Russian dolls”
Identify the system emphasized in
the given research findings:
• 1. When peer groups devalue academics, they
often undermine an adolescent’s scholastic
performance, despite the best efforts of parents
and teachers to encourage academic
achievement.
• Steinberg, Dornbusch, & Brown, 1992
• 2. A temperamentally difficult infant can alienate
her parents or even create friction between them
that may be sufficient to damage their marital
relationship.

Activist
• Activists are people
who learn by doing.
• They like to involve
themselves in new
experiences, and
will ‘try anything at
once’.
• They tend to act
first and consider
the consequences
afterwards.
Reflector
• Reflectors learn by
observing and thinking
about what happened.
• They like to consider all
the possible angles and
implications before
coming to a considered
opinion.
• They spend time
listening and observing,
and tend to be cautious
and thoughtful.
Theorist
• Theorists like to
understand the theory
behind the actions.
• They need models,
concepts and facts in
order to learn.
• They like to analyze and
synthesize, and feel
uncomfortable with
subjective judgements.
Pragmatist
• Pragmatists are keen
on trying things out.
• They look for new ideas
that can be applied to
the problem in hand.
• They like to get on with
things and tend to be
impatient with open-
ended discussions; they
are practical, down-to
earth people.

such as the meaning of life,
why are we born, why do we
die, what is consciousness,
or how did we get here
What does this theory on
M.I.s imply?
• Providing students with multiple ways to access
content improves learning (Hattie, 2011).
• Providing students with multiple ways to demonstrate
knowledge and skills increases engagement and
learning, and provides teachers with more accurate
understanding of students' knowledge and skills
(Darling-Hammond, 2010).
• Instruction should be informed as much as possible by
detailed knowledge about students' specific strengths,
needs, and areas for growth (Tomlinson, 2014).

Types of Motivation
EXTRINSIC
The desire to engage in an
activity to achieve an external
consequence, such as a reward.
Extrinsically motivated behaviors
are performed in order to receive
something from others.
INTRINSIC
The desire to engage in an
activity for its own sake rather
than for some external
consequence, such as a reward.
Intrinsically motivated behaviors
are performed because of the
sense of personal satisfaction
that they bring.
Extrinsic or Intrinsic?
• Washing the dishes to avoid being scolded
• → EXTRINSIC
• Learning how to play an instrument because you
simply want to
• → INTRINSIC
Give other examples of intrinsic or
extrinsic motivation.
Maslow’s Hierarchy
of Needs
Attribution Theory
WHY DID YOU
SUCCEED?
WHY DID YOU FAIL?
Attribution may or may not reflect the
true state of affairs…
Example:
• Your poor performance on past exams may very well have
been the result of ineffective study strategies; like many
students, you may have tried to learn class material in a
rote, meaningless manner.
• But because you thought of yourself as a smart person
and believed you had studied adequately, perhaps you
instead attributed your low scores to the exceptional
difficulty or “pickiness” of your tests or to arbitrary and
irrational teacher scoring.

sa pagsulat ng final paper.
• → UNCONTROLLABLE
• Bumagsak ako sa quiz kasi di talaga ako nakapag-

How does attribution affect motivation?
• If the learner attributes his/her success or failure to do
something within him/her (INTERNAL) and is within
his/her control (CONTROLLABLE), or can be changed
(UNSTABLE), he/she is more likely to be motivated.
• If the learner attributes his/her success or failure to
something outside him/her (EXTERNAL) and is beyond
his/her control (UNCONTROLLABLE), or cannot be
changed (STABLE), he/she is more likely to be less
motivated.
Self-Efficacy Theory
• Do you believe that you can do it? Why? Why not?
• The belief that one has the qualities to execute
the courses of action required to manage
prospective situations
• Relates to a person's perception of his ability to
reach a goal while self-esteem relates to person's
sense of self-worth

Processes/Conditions for Effective
Modeling
Attention
Before learners can produce a model’s
actions, they must attend to what the
model is doing or saying.
Retention
To reproduce a model’s actions, students
must code the information and keep it in
memory so that they retrieve it.
Motor (Re)production
The learner can replicate the model’s
behavior.
Motivation
Learners must want to replicate what
they have learned.
Strategies for Effectively Using
Observational Learning (Santrock, 2010)
• Think about what type of model you will present to
learners.
• Demonstrate and teach new behaviors.
• Think about ways to use peers as effective models.
• Think about ways that mentors can be used as models.
• Evaluate which classroom guests will provide good
models for students.
• Consider models children observe on television, videos
and computers.
A child treats his friend highly
aggressive. The reason behind this
attitude is his past experiences with his
father who is also highly aggressive.

Insight Learning Theory
• Wolfgang Köhler
• Gestalt
• Learning is an active process.
• This was a demonstration of Köhler’s dynamic
model of behavior, involving organization within
perception, rather than passive learning through
response to rewards.
• The pattern (Gestalt) of learning by insight—
failure, pause, perception, insight, and attempt —
is an active one.
Educational Implications of Insight Learning
• We should recognize that people have active minds which
work with the information they receive.
• A rich environment is very important as far as insight
learning is concerned. The environment should be arranged
in a manner that makes insight possible.
• Teachers and guardians should realize that the structure and
organization of the subject matter plays an important part.
• Give problem solving activities. Ask challenging questions.
• Check previous experiences.
• Orient learners with the goal.
Information Processing Theory
• CONTRIBUTORS: George A. Miller; Atkinson and
Shriffin; Slavin; Craik and Lockhart; Bransford;

Meaningful
Learning
Theory
David Ausubel
Learner’s Cognitive Structure-
Meaningful learning occurs when the
material to be learned is related to what
the students already know.
Subsumption- a process by which new
material is related to relevant ideas in the
existing cognitive structure
The Use of Advance Organizers
• ADVANCE ORGANIZERS
• used to strengthen the student’s cognitive
structure
• allow students to already have a bird’s eye view of
the topic to be learned even before going to the
details
• Examples:
 Expository, Narrative, Skimming, Graphic Organizers
The human mind is like a computer. This
concept from the information processing
theory is an example of which type of
meaningful processing in Ausubel’s
theory?
a. Derivative Subsumption
b. Correlative Subsumption
c. Superordinate Subsumption
d. Combinatorial Subsumption
Teacher Jay showed a concept map about
nouns before the discussion. This is an
application of Ausubel’s idea of
a. Graphic organizers
b. Advance organizers
c. Subsumption
d. Information processing
Bruner’s Constructivist Theory
• Levels of Representation
• Enactive
• Iconic
• Symbolic
• Spiral Progression
• Discovery Learning
Transfer of Learning
• The process of applying knowledge or skill previously
learned in one situation to a new different situation
• LATERAL or VERTICAL
• POSITIVE or NEGATIVE
• ZERO
Theories of Transfer
• Formal Discipline
• Identical Elements
• Generalization
• Transposition
Metacognition
• John Flavell (1979, 1987)
• Consists of both metacognitive knowledge and
experiences
• “Thinking about thinking”, “Learning how to learn”
• Three categories
 Person
 Task

What metacognitive strategies do you
use to:
• … keep your attention focused on studying a
learning material?
• … help you memorize terms/concepts effectively?
Some Learning and Study Strategies

• Graphic representation
• Note Taking
• Identifying important
information
• Summarizing
• Comprehension

  • 6.
    • Learning isa relatively permanent change in behavior with behavior both including observable activity and internal processes. (Burns, 1995) • Learning occurs when experience causes a relatively permanent change in an individual’s knowledge, behavior, or potential for behavior. (Woolfolk, 2016) • Learning is a relatively permanent influence on behavior, knowledge, and thinking skills that comes about through experience. It is a long-term change in mental representations or associations as a result of experience. (Santrock, 2012)

    Lawrence Kohlberg’s Theoryof Moral Development Heinz’s wife was dying from a particular type of cancer. Doctors said a new drug might save her. The drug had been discovered by a local chemist, and Heinz tried desperately to buy some, but the chemist was charging ten times the money it cost to make the drug, and this was much more than Heinz could afford. Heinz could only raise half the money, even after help from family and friends. He explained to the chemist that his wife was dying and asked if he could have the drug cheaper or pay the rest of the money later. The chemist refused, saying that he had discovered the drug and was going to make money from it. The husband was desperate to save his wife, so later that night he broke into the chemist’s and stole the drug.
  • 21.
    Kohlberg asked aseries of questions such as: • Should Heinz have stolen the drug? • Would it change anything if Heinz did not love his wife? • What if the person dying was a stranger, would it make any difference? • Should the police arrest the chemist for murder if the woman died?

    Stages of MoralDevelopment Level Stage Description 1 Preconventional Level 1 Punishment- Obedience Consequences of acts determine whether they are good or bad. Individuals make moral decisions without considering the needs or feelings of others. 2 Mutual Benefit The ethics of “What’s in it for me?” Obeying rules and exchanging favors are judged in terms of the benefit to the individual. 2 Conventional Level 3 Social Approval Ethical decisions are based on concern for or the opinions of others. What pleases, helps, or is approved of by others characterizes this stage. 4 Law and Order The ethics of laws, rules, and societal order. Rules and laws are inflexible and are obeyed for their own sake. 3 Postconventional Level 5 Social Contract Rules and laws represent agreements among people about behavior that benefits society. Rules can be changed when they no longer meet society’s needs. 6 Universal Principles Ethics are determined by abstract and general principles that transcend societal rules.

    Insight Learning Theory •Wolfgang Köhler • Gestalt • Learning is an active process.
  • 121.
    • This wasa demonstration of Köhler’s dynamic model of behavior, involving organization within perception, rather than passive learning through response to rewards. • The pattern (Gestalt) of learning by insight— failure, pause, perception, insight, and attempt — is an active one.
  • 122.
    Educational Implications ofInsight Learning • We should recognize that people have active minds which work with the information they receive. • A rich environment is very important as far as insight learning is concerned. The environment should be arranged in a manner that makes insight possible. • Teachers and guardians should realize that the structure and organization of the subject matter plays an important part. • Give problem solving activities. Ask challenging questions. • Check previous experiences. • Orient learners with the goal.
