INSTRUCTOR: MR. EDGARDO B. ADALLA, PhD

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.
