ICAP Framework Explained (Chi & Wylie, 2014) | Educational Psychology T1

How actively are students really learning? The ICAP framework (Chi & Wylie, 2014) sorts learning activities into four modes by what students visibly do: Passive (receiving), Active (manipulating), Constructive (generating) and Interactive (dialoguing). It predicts that learning increases step by step from passive to active to constructive to interactive (P → A → C → I). In this video: • Why "active learning" is too vague, and how ICAP makes it precise • The four modes, with everyday study examples • The hidden processes behind each mode: storing, integrating, inferring, co-inferring • The evidence: studies comparing the same task in different modes • When ICAP can fail: shallow tests, arbitrary topics, tasks in the same mode • What it means for designing lessons and study activities 📖 Article: Chi, M.
