 MODULE l - METACOGNITION
September 1 2021, Wednesday, 7:30 - 9am
Metacognition is the process of thinking
about one’s own thinking and learning.
For example, if you can explain what your
strengths are in academic writing, or exam
taking, or other types of academic tasks,
then you are metacognitively aware.

There are 3 Categories of Metacognition knowledge. The first one is Knowledge of

person's variable - This includes how one views himself as a learner and thinker.
Knowledge of person variables refers to knowledge about how human beings learn and
process information, as well as individual knowledge of one’s own learning processes.
Next is Task variables - Knowledge of task variables includes knowledge about the nature
of the task as well as the type of processing demands that it will place upon the
individual. Last one is Strategy variables - It involves awareness of the strategy you are
using to learn a topic and evaluating whether this strategy is effective.

INSIGHT ABOUT NOVICE LEARNERS AND EXPERT LEARNERS

Novice learners are beginners who are learning the fundamentals of acquiring new
knowledges or skills, they have no prior knowledge or the only have limited knowledge of
a particular subject or areas. for novice learners it is extremely difficult to determine the
essential parts of the learning materials needed in the constructive process, which means
that as educators we need to carefully select the relevant informations.
Expert Learners are those learners that want to be successful on their first go round of learning, this
may take some time therefore teachers must provide challenges to a student who wants to be
expert and the teacher should only fit it with the correct strategies to maintain the motivation.

However expert learners should accept failure at some point because this will help them to succeed.

Novice learners do not think about how they solve problems but instead just plow through them.

Expert Learners are able and willing to evaluate their own thinking.

Novice learners identify problems in terms of surface elements.

REFLECTION

Metacognition is the ability to examine how you process thoughts and

feelings. This skill encourages students to understand the best way to study.
It also helps them develop self-esteem skills, which become important as
they age.

CENTERED PSYCHOLOGICAL
PRINCIPLES
September 14 2021, Tuesday, 7:30 - 9am
The following 14 psychological principles
pertain to all learners and the learning
process. They are best understood as an
organized set of principles; no principle
should be viewed in isolation. This
document is adapted from the principles
developed by the American Psychological
Association.

REFLECTION

In this topic I learned about 14 important student-centered principles that we apply or

can apply in the classroom. I realized that each topic in this topic is very important, so we
have to study it a lot so as not to make our work so difficult in the future.
As a future educator, I need to use this student-centered principle for my teaching
strategy to be effective and my students will learn many things from me.

MODULE 3 - THEORIES
RELATED TO LEARNERS
DEVELOPMENT
September 15 2021, Wednesday, 7:30 - 9am
Learning theories develop hypotheses that
describe how this process takes place. ... The
major concepts and theories of learning include
behaviorist theories, cognitive psychology, constructivism, social constructivism, experiential learning,
multiple intelligence, and situated learning theory and community of practice.

Various scholars have different perspectives about personality. Sigmund Freud in the
Psychoanalytic theory described human personality by dividing it into three elements. He
argued that there are three components which are the Id, Ego, and superego. Each of the
elements although separate has an impact on the other.
Erikson maintained that personality develops in a predetermined order through eight
stages of psychosocial development, from infancy to adulthood. ... According to the
theory, successful completion of each stage results in a healthy personality and the
acquisition of basic virtues.
Piaget proposed four major stages of cognitive development, and called them (1)
sensorimotor intelligence, (2) preoperational thinking, (3) concrete operational thinking,
and (4) formal operational thinking. Each stage is correlated with an age period of
childhood, but only approximately.
Kohlberg's theory of moral development is a theory that focuses on how children develop
morality and moral reasoning. Kohlberg's theory suggests that moral development
occurs in a series of six stages. The theory also suggests that moral logic is primarily
focused on seeking and maintaining justice.
Vygotsky's Cognitive Development Theory argues that cognitive abilities are socially
guided and constructed. As such, culture serves as a mediator for the formation and
development of specific abilities, such as learning, memory, attention, and problem
solving.
Bronfenbrenner's theory defines complex “layers” of environment, each having an effect
on a child's development. This theory has recently been renamed “bioecological systems
theory” to emphasize that a child's own biology is a primary environment fueling her
development.
Bronfenbrenner divided the
person's environment into five
different systems: the
microsystem, the mesosystem,
the exosystem, the macrosystem,
and the chronosystemm.
The microsystem is the most
influential level of the ecological
systems theory. This is the most
immediate environmental
settings containing the
developing child, such as family
and school.
Bronfenbrenner's ecological
systems theory has implications
for educational practice.

REFLECTION
Learning is defined as a process that brings
together personal and environmental
experiences and influences in order to
acquire, enrich or change knowledge, skills,
values, attitudes, behaviors and worldviews.
Learning theories develop hypotheses that
describe how this process works. The
scientific exploration of learning began in
earnest in the early 1900s. Key concepts and
learning theories include behavioral
theories, cognitive psychology,
constructivism, social constructivism,
experiential learning, multiple intelligence,
and situated learning theory and community
of practice.
 MODULE 4
Individual Differences
September 22 2021, Wednesday, 7:30 - 9am
Students have always had individual
differences in learning preferences and
strategies, influenced by sociocultural factors
such as ethnicity, culture, educational background, gender, geographical location, and
socioeconomic status. The more culturally homogenous student bodies of the past tended
to mask this fact. However, the increasing diversity of today’s students has brought those
differences more clearly into focus. So too has the increase in off-campus - sometimes even
offshore - enrolments. Educators therefore need to respond to diversity in abilities,
experiences, and learning strategies if they are to support students to become confident,
self-directed, and independent learners

REFLECTION

The diversity of students as an understanding that each individual is unique and knows our
individual differences. A climate conducive to learning can only be fully internalized and
integrated through recognition and appreciation of the diversity of students. Therefore, it is
a crucial part of every teacher's role to ensure that equal opportunity, which we consider
critical to our nation, is translated into equal opportunity in everyday classroom life.
Over the years of my experience, I have found that some teachers value knowing as much
about each student as possible in terms of family, background, interests, aversions, and
study styles. Therefore, at the beginning of each school year, each teacher begins by
developing a student profile that they know will contribute to a deeper understanding of
their students' unique interests, styles, and abilities. Knowing students well is beneficial as
it enables them to develop their full potential by targeting the strengths and weaknesses of
individual students by grouping them together for activities or class work (teaching
different students 1789).
