The purpose of this study is to propose an e-learning system model for learning content personalisation based on students' emotions. The proposed system collects learners' brainwaves using a portable Electroencephalogram and processes them via a supervised machine learning algorithm, named K-nearest neighbours (KNN), to recognise real-time…

Students attending a University-Model® school participate in a hybrid approach to education which combines homeschooling with private education. This allows parents a primary role in their child(ren)'s education with the guidance of licensed teachers. The question of how students' academic needs are addressed in this model remains unexplored.

The Impact Evaluation Model (IEM) is designed to provide a sequence of steps and procedures which methodically leads to the assessment of the individualized educational plan for handicapped students. The document includes a description of the method, illustrations of its use, and selected examples of data gathering devices. Initial sections…

The Studies of Implementation is a three-year, longitudinal investigation focusing on the process by which an innovation is implemented and becomes a pattern of individualized schooling. An examination is made of the behavior of 13 elementary schools during the entire change process, which includes the adoption, implementation, and adaptation of…

Discussion of personalized instruction focuses on reading education and presents a systems model for teachers called a Teacher System for Personalized Instruction (TSPI). Topics discussed include diagnosing the needs of the learner; self-paced learning; motivation; achievement; mastery learning; evaluation plan; and cognitive, affective,…

Examples of three models for individualizing instruction of library students are presented, i.e., Diagnostic Prescriptive Teaching (DPT), Modularized Instruction, and Nonformal Basic Program. The focus of DPT is on general reference tools and subject reference works in science and technology. The model includes four behavioral objectives, a…
