Learner-Centered Psychological
Principles

The 14 psychological principles pertain to the learner and

the learning process. They focus on psychological factors
that are primarily internal to and under the control of the
learner rather than conditioned habits or physiological
factors. However, the principles also attempt to acknowledge
external environment or contextual factors that interact with
these internal factors.

Principles

The principles are intended to deal holistically with learners

in the context of real-world learning situations. Thus, they
are best understood as an organized set of principles; no
principle should be viewed in isolation

Principles

The 14 principles are divided into those referring to cognitive and

metacognitive, motivational and affective, developmental and social,
and individual difference factors influencing learners and learning.

Finally, the principles are intended to apply to all learners -- from

children, to teachers, to administrators, to parents, and to
community members involved in our educational system.
