BMME GROUPWORK

1.The Learner-Centered Psychological Principles (LCP) were developed by the American Psychological
Association (APA) and provide a framework for effective teaching and learning. Here are the fourteen
principles:

● Nature of Learning: Understanding how learning occurs helps in designing effective instruction.
● Learner Development: Recognizing individual differences in learners' cognitive, emotional, and,
social development.
● Motivation and Affect: Acknowledging the role of motivation and emotion in learning.
● Individual Differences: Recognizing the diversity of learners and adapting instruction accordingly.
● Self-Regulation: Promoting learners' ability to regulate their own learning.
● Prior Knowledge: Considering learners' prior knowledge and experiences.
● Memory: Understanding the processes of encoding, storing, and retrieving information.
● Transfer of Learning: Facilitating the application of knowledge and skills to new situations.
● Cognition and Technology: Integrating technology to enhance cognitive processes.
● Metacognition: Encouraging learners to reflect on and monitor their own thinking processes.
● Social Cognition: Recognizing the role of social interactions in learning.
● Social Motivation: Considering the impact of social factors on learners' motivation.
● Feedback: Providing timely and specific feedback to enhance learning.
● Assessment: Using various assessment methods to evaluate and support learning.

2.Application of LCP in Instruction:

● Differentiated Instruction: Tailor instruction to accommodate diverse learning styles and abilities.
● Active Learning: Engage students in hands-on activities to promote self-regulation and deeper
understanding.
● Technology Integration: Use technology to enhance cognitive processes and facilitate learning.
● Formative Assessment: Provide ongoing feedback to support learners' understanding and
metacognition.
● Collaborative Learning: Foster social interactions to enhance both cognitive and social aspects of
learning.
