The document outlines 14 principles of how learning works based on cognitive, motivational, developmental, social, and individual difference factors. It discusses how learning is most effective when it is an intentional process where learners can construct meaning, link new information to existing knowledge, and use thinking strategies. Motivation and social interactions also influence learning. Learning works best when tailored to a learner's development level, backgrounds, and abilities. Standards and assessments are important for monitoring learning progress.

The 14 principles Topics/ specific My learnings/ insights on how will I
concepts from module apply what I learned
1-25 Cognitive and Metacognitive factors 1. Nature of the learning process. The learning of complex subject matter is most effective when it is an intentional process of constructing meaning from information and experience. 2. The goals of the learning process. The successful learner, over time and with support and instructional guidance, can create meaningful, coherent representations of knowledge. 3. Construction of knowledge. The successful learner can link new information with existing knowledge in meaningful ways. 4. Strategic thinking. The successful learner can create and use a repertoire of thinking and reasoning strategies to achieve complex learning goals.
5. Thinking about thinking
Higher order-strategies for selecting and monitoring mental operations facilitate creative and critical thinking.
6. Context of learning. Learning is influenced by environmental factors, including culture, technology , and institutional practices.
Motivational and affective factors
7. Motivational and emotional influences
on learning What and how much is learned is influenced by the learner’s motivation. Motivation to learn, in turn is influenced by the individuals emotional states, beliefs, interests and goals and habits of thinking. 8. Intrinsic motivation to learn. The learner’s creativity, higher order thinking, and natural curiosity all contribute motivation to learn. Intrinsic motivation is simulated by tasks of optimal novelty and difficulty, relevant to personal interests, and providing personal choice and control,
9. Effects of motivation on effort.
Acquisition of complex knowledge and skills requires extended learner’s effort and guided practice. Without learner’s motivation to learn , the willingness to exert this effort is unlikely without coercion Developmental and social factors 10. Developmental influences on learning As individuals develop, there are different opportunities and constraints for learning. Learning is most effective when differential development within and across physical, intellectual, emotional, and social domains is taken into account. 11. Social influences on learning. Learning is influenced by social interactions, interpersonal relations, and communication with others.
Individual differences factors
12. Individual differences in learning.
Learners have different strategies , approaches, and capabilities for learning that are prior experience and heredity. 13. Learning and diversity. Learning is most effective when differences in learner’s linguistic, cultural, and social backgrounds are taken into account. 14. Standards and assessment . Setting appropriately high and challenging standards and assessing the learner as well as learning progress- including diagnostic process, and outcome assessment – are integral parts of the learning process.
