Personalized Learning
Personalized learning
• Personalized learning within education refers to providing optimal learning processes (learning activities, pedagogical approaches,) that relate to the personal qualities (Strengths) and individual needs (Ambition) of learners.
• Learners work in their own way (Personal learning trajectory, Pedagogies, Staffing & roles) in their own pace (time) and to individual learning objectives (Attainment goals) fitting their level of knowledge, skills and competences.
• For each course, subject or topic (content and objectives) the learner receives a tailored program according to its own progress (Level of mastery) and preferences (Personal learning trajectory).
• The learner is stimulated (progress, certificates, badges) to make choices in content and objectives in relation to a redesign of a personalized curriculum (based on Strength, Interest and Ambition)
• where the teacher supports (Mentoring, Guiding) the learner by giving effective feedback (continuing evaluation) and by facilitating the learner with rich learning experiences (variation in learning activities).
