Learner-centered Psychological Principles
■ The 14 psychological principles were put together by the
American Psychological Association (APA)
■ The principles 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.
■ Intended to deal holistically with learners in the contexts of real
world situations.
■ Best understood as an organized set of principles, no principle
should be viewed in isolation.
■ Intended to apply to all learners.
