Individualized Instruction

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that individualized instruction is a system of education whereby curriculum and instruction is tailored to the needs of learners to ensure success by developing a love of learning generated by this method of instruction. The author points out that a successful school program should include multi-age education, whereby children are grouped according to ability and skill level instead by physical age; knowledge-based instruction; and learning through writing, which places an emphasis on strategies for writing across the curriculum. The paper relates that the overall evaluation approach for this research will be an eclectic three-way design: participant, consumer, and expertise orientations.

From the Paper:

"Some of the instructional strategies that encourage knowledge building are: problem-based learning and reciprocal teaching; peer tutoring; cooperative learning; hands-on learning; journaling; projects; role play; simulation; and inquiry, and it is possible that all or some of these strategies are used in isolation, or in conjunction with other techniques, as and when necessary, and as decided by the teacher who works closely with the individuals in question. Motivation is also particularly important when working with at-risk students, recognizing that there are three elements of motivation: positive value, clear connection between behavior and consequences, and a belief that success can be achieved with the available skill and resources."
