ANSWER THE FOLLOWING:

1. Explain the psychological principles of learner centeredness as a basis for differentiated

teaching to suit learner’s gender, needs, strengths, interests and experiences;

● Psychological principles namely the Cognitive and metacognitive, Motivational and

affective, Developmental and social, Individual difference factors are crucial to learners in
terms of their gender, needs, strength, interests, and experiences. For me it enables the learner
to achieve clear and concise understanding for what they are learning. It became a basis so
that they know what they should focus on or what they should understand more. It feels like
through that psychological principles we can go to the deeper dimension of learning because
learning is not just word that can be easily define but learning is within us. Psychological
principles can truly help us to easily understand, define and differentiate them. Learning is a
wide dimension and so at least these psychological principles would give us perspectives in
order to classify different teaching, learning, and understanding. In some ways it would give us
a massive clue to redirect our learnings.

2. Identify factors that promote learner-centeredness and motivate learners to work

productively and be accountable for their own learning;

● The Learner-centered Psychological principles namely the Cognitive and metacognitive,

Motivational and affective, Developmental and social, Individual difference factors promote
learner-centeredness. We all know that a learner-centered approach views learners as active
agents. They bring their own knowledge, past experiences, education, and ideas – and this
impacts how they take on board new information and learn and that’s what we can observed
to those factors that they give more concern about learner’s productivity. Through these it
creates massive encouragement to learner to look for themselves or to look for their learning
and then it can motivate them to become an explorer of learning by the use of retention and
their experiences.

3. Reflect on how developmental and social factors can influence learning environments
to promote fairness, respect and care; and
● Developmental and social factors truly can influence learning environments.
Developmental factors examples are emotional, intellectual, social, and physical
development from conception to maturity. Examples include parental attitudes and
stimulation, peer relationships, learning experiences, recreational activities, and hereditary
predispositions. Social factor are things that affect someone's lifestyle. These could include
 wealth, religion, buying habits, education level, family size and structure and population
density. For me, developmental and social factors can give opportunity to people to not just
promote but to understand fairness and respect. It makes our mind wider and have a large
capacity of storage in order to store everything we need in learning. It is very crucial and it is
influential. In life we need to understand every aspect of it and we need to immersed with it so
that we can grow smartly and socially oriented. Developmental and social factor promotes
fairness, respect, and care to give a better living and that is part of learning that we understand
people, our mind, and our society. It has an important to role to act in order for us to feel
betterment. Learning cannot always find inside the school but learning can be find everywhere
just like in our developmental factors and social factors.

4. Relate RA 10533 and the K-to12 framework to the principles of learner- centeredness.
● Republic Act No. 10533 (RA 10533), otherwise known as the Enhanced Basic Education
Act of 2013, has expanded the years of schooling in basic education from 10 years to 12 years.
In school year 2018-2019, an additional 2 years representing Grades 11 and 12 will be
introduced in the basic education system through senior high school. Recognizing the need for
additional support to students due to the added two years in basic education, the State,
through RA 10533, further expanded Republic Act 8545 (RA 8545) to provide financial
assistance to qualified grade 10 completers entering senior high school. The K to 12 Program
covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six years of primary education, four years
of Junior High School, and two years of Senior High School [SHS]) to provide sufficient time for
mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary
education, middle-level skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship. Cognitive and
metacognitive, Motivational and affective, Developmental and social, Individual difference
factors are the principles of learner- centeredness. What it makes differ is that the R.A 10533
and the K to 12 framework talks about the system of learning or the curriculum but the principles
it talks about the learning itself. You can see in the principles those things that can help you to
understand your learning. It gives a clear classification of learning that help to classify and
determine learning that we should focus on or what we should understand more.
