EXTENDED BY RESEARCHING
Read a research or study related to Learner-Centered Psychological Principles (LCP ).
Fill out the matrix below.

Problem
The purpose of this study was to determinewhether having an adult facilitator trained inthe application of
LCPs to support secondaryschool students while they finish an onlinedistance education course is an
effectivestrategy to boost student engagement and rate of completion of an online course. The purpose
was to see if educating local facilitators to use LCPs would boost students' progress and completion of
online distance education courses more than if facilitators did not receive this training.
Research Methodology
A cluster-randomized control trial was used in this study. Schools were matched, and then schools within
each matched pair were allocated to the intervention and control conditions at random.

principles on student ‐retention in distance education courses in rural schools. Distance Education, 29(3),
211-229.
Findings
In summary, regardless of whether length ofparticipation or dropout was analyzed,treatment and
instructor effects werestatistically significant. Of particular interest inthis study was the treatment effect.
Holdinginstructor constant, students in the treatmentcondition were more likely to perseverethrough the
difficult AP course in the firstsemester than students who were not. Thedifference in average length of
participationwas nontrivial (about four weeks).

Conclusions/Recommendation

Distance education courses often have substantially lower rates of course completion. The purpose of this
study was to explore the initial efficacy of providing training to school-based facilitators in following
more learner centered practices to support secondary students taking an online course. Students in the
intervention condition completed the first semester at a statistically higher rate than did students in the
control condition, where the facilitators did not have this training

b. a 3-minute speech
First and foremost, it's crucial to raise awareness of these principles and their importance for student
growth and learning. These ideas and how they might enhance teaching and learning should be made
known to educators, parents, and students. This can be accomplished by giving speeches, holding
seminars, and producing educational materials that outline these principles.

Through professional development programs and courses created to teach educators how to use these
ideas in their teaching methods, it is possible to gain a deeper grasp of these concepts. For the
execution of these concepts, continuing education for teaching professionals can be organized within
a variety of educational institutions or organizations. By fostering an environment that values
creativity and ensuring a beneficial effect on students' learning,
