Course: BEED – 2B

“Learner-Centered Teaching: Foundations, Characteristics, and Psychological Principles”

1. What is Learner-Centered Teaching?

 a method of instruction that places more emphasis on the growth of the students than on the
transmission of knowledge; it tackles the power dynamics between teaching and learning,
encourages students to actively create their own knowledge, and places the obligation of learning
on the students.

 Through conversations and other group activities, learners can engage with their teams in learner-
centered teaching. This strategy promotes group seating for collaborative learning. Students
discuss, collaborate, learn how to interact with others, and perform a variety of other daily duties
while sitting with their peers that will eventually help them become team players.

2. What are the Characteristics and Psychological Principles of Learner-Centered Teaching?

The learner-centered perspective combines an emphasis on each individual learner, their experiences,
perspectives, backgrounds, abilities, interests, capacities, and needs with a focus on acquiring the best
information currently available about learning, how it occurs, and teaching methods. Cognitive,
metacognitive, motivational, affective, developmental, and social psychological concepts are used in
learner-centered education. These principles aid in the development of our knowledge and abilities for
employment. These guidelines will help teachers relate to their students' needs in an effective way.
The following 14 psychological principles pertain to the learner and the earning process.
The 14 principles are divided into those referring to:
– Cognitive and metacognitive
– Motivational and affective
– Developmental and social
– Individual difference factors
COGNITIVE AND METACOGNITIVE FACTOR
1. Nature of Learning Process
The best way to study a complex subject is through an international process of creating meaning from data
and experience.

2. Goals of the Learning Process

The competent learner can construct meaningful, coherent representations of knowledge over time with
support and instructional supervision.

3. Construction of Knowledge
An effective learner is able to meaningfully connect new knowledge to what they already know. As students
continue to make connections between new knowledge and experiences and their existing body of
knowledge, their knowledge base grows and deepens.

4. Strategic Thinking
To accomplish challenging learning objectives, the effective learner can develop and apply a variety of
thinking and reasoning techniques. Reasoning, problem-solving, and idea learning are approaches used by
successful learners.

5. Thinking about thinking

Successful learners are able to examine their own thought processes and learning styles, set realistic
learning or performance goals, choose potentially useful learning tactics or methods, and track their
progress towards these objectives.

6. Context of Learning
Environmental elements that affect learning include culture, technology, and teaching methods.

MOTIVATIONAL AND AFFECTIVE FACTOR

7. Motivational and emotional influences on learning

The learner's ability to think clearly and process information can be improved or hindered by their rich
internal world of thoughts, beliefs, aspirations, and expectations for success or failure.

8. Intrinsic motivation to learn

Tasks that are both unique and challenging enough, relate to personal interests, and offer the ability for
individual decision-making and control, all serve to boost intrinsic motivation.

9. Effects of motivation on effort

Another important sign of learning motivation is effort. Complex knowledge and abilities must be acquired
by a significant commitment of learner energy, intentional effort, and patience over time.

DEVELOPMENTAL AND SOCIAL FACTOR

10. Developmental influences on learning

When differences in development are taken into consideration within and across the physical, intellectual,
emotional, and social domains, learning is most successful.
Learning occurs most effectively when information is provided in a fun and engaging manner and is suited
to the learner's developmental stage.

11. Social influences on learning

When a student gets the chance to speak with and work with others on instructional tasks, their learning
can be improved.

INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES FACTOR

12. Individual differences in learning

Every person has unique skills and abilities that they can acquire throughout time. Teachers must work with
pupils to evaluate their learning preferences and, if necessary, broaden or change them.
