INTRODUCTION
You, the learner, are the center of instruction. The world of instruction revolves
around you. This module will focus in discussing the different learner-centered
psychological principles.
ACTIVITY
ABSTRACTION
Alexander and Murphy gave a summary of the 14 principles and distilled them
into five areas:
1. The knowledge base
One’s knowledge serves as the foundation of all future learning.
2. Strategic processing and control
Learners can develop skills to reflect and regulate their thoughts and behaviors in
order to learn more effectively.
3. Motivation and affect
Factors such as intrinsic motivation, reasons for wanting to learn, personal goals
and enjoyment of learning tasks all have a crucial role in the learning process.
4. Development and Individual Differences
Learning is a unique journey for each person because each learner has his own
unique combination of genetic and environmental factors that influence him.
5. Situation or context
Learning happens in the context of a society as well as within an individual.
