Understanding Learner-Centered Psychological Principles(LCPs) The Learner-Centered Psychological Principles (LCPs), developed by the American Psychological Association (APA), represent a framework of 14 principles about learners and learning. These principles are not prescriptive teaching methods but rather a set of guidelines that can inform the design of curricula, instructional strategies, and assessment practices to create optimal learning environments.
- 5. Cognitive & Metacognitive Factors Learningis a natural process of constructing meaning from information and experience. The successful learner can create meaningful, coherent representations of knowledge. The successful learner can link new information with existing knowledge in meaningful ways.
- 6. Cognitive & MetacognitiveFactors Higher-order strategies facilitate creative and critical thinking. Learning is influenced by environmental factors, including culture, technology, and instructional practices.
- 7. Motivational & AffectiveFactors What and how much is learned is influenced by the learner's motivation, emotional states, beliefs, interests, and goals. The learner's creativity, higher-order thinking, and natural curiosity are stimulated by tasks of optimal novelty and difficulty, relevant to personal interests, and providing personal choice and control. Acquisition of complex knowledge and skills requires extended learner effort and guided practice.
- 8. Developmental & Social Factors Learningis influenced by social interactions, interpersonal relations, and communication with others. Learning is most effective when development across domains is considered.
- 9. Individual Differences Factors Learnershave different strategies, approaches, and capabilities for learning that are a function of prior experience and heredity. Learning is most effective when differences in learners' linguistic, cultural, and social backgrounds are taken into account.
- 10. Significance of LCPsfor Educators By understanding how students learn, teachers can create more relevant and engaging lessons. Encouraging self-direction and metacognition empowers students to take ownership of their learning. Creating tasks that are challenging, relevant, and offer choice can ignite students' natural curiosity.
