Facilitating Learner Centered Teaching

At the end of the lesson, you are expected to:

• ​explain the cognitive, metacognitive, motivational, and affective factors of teaching and learning;

• summarized learning using graphic organizers; and

• cites classroom situations that manifest applications of the principles

Cognitive and Metacognitive Factors

The mental operations that learners carry out while they process information are referred to as cognitive factors. The metacognitive elements are concerned with how students perceive themselves while they perform mental tasks.

Some text here about the topic of discussion

Metacognitive Strategies

• Metacognitive strategies for learning a new language can include the following:

• Monitoring whether you understand the language lessons;

• Recognizing when you fail to comprehend information communicated to you in the new language;

• Identifying strategies that help you to improve your comprehension;

• Adjusting your pace for learning the information (for example, studying for 2 hours, rather than 1 hour, every day);

• Maintaining the attitude necessary to ensure you complete the lessons in a timely manner;

• Creating a check-in system at the end of each week to make certain you understand what you have learned.

The learning of complicated subject matter is most effective when it is an intentional process of constructing meaning from information and experience

The learning activities and opportunities provided by the teacher are very important situations where:

• learners can integrate knowledge and concepts to their experiences

• The successful learner, over time and with support and instructional guidance, can create meaningful, coherent representations of knowledge.

• The successful learner can link new information with existing knowledge in meaningful ways.

•  The successful learner can create and use a repertoire of thinking and reasoning strategies to achieve complex learning goals.

The learning activities and opportunities provided by the teacher are very important situations where:

• Higher-order strategies for selecting and monitoring mental operations facilitate creative and critical thinking.

• Learning is influenced by environmental factors, including culture, technology, and instructional practices

• Experience
