This chapter reviews recent qualitative studies on personalized learning in middle/secondary school settings to analyze the role of culture in how this concept is enacted and researched. Personalized learning is posited as a pedagogical approach that aims to revolutionize schooling and challenge educational inequity by foregrounding learners'…

Educational data mining and learning analytics have become a very important topic in the field of education technology. Many frameworks have been proposed for learning analytics which make it possible to identify learning behavior patterns or strategies. However, it is difficult to understand the reason why behavior patterns occur and why certain…

Poor mathematics self-efficacy (MSE) has been recorded among learners at all levels in Nigeria. The study reported on here sought to establish the efficacy of differentiated instruction (DI) in raising learners' MSE in inclusive settings. We also explored the differential effects of DI on the MSE of learners with dyscalculia, as well as on high-…

Personalized education--the systematic adaptation of instruction to individual learners--has been a long-striven goal. We review research on personalized education that has been conducted in the laboratory, in the classroom, and in digital learning environments.

Author Jane A.G. Kise provides a series of straightforward, high-reward strategies that K-12 educators like you successfully use in their daily…

Although basing instruction on a learning trajectory (LT) is often recommended, there is little evidence regarding the premise of a LT approach--that to be maximally meaningful, engaging, and effective, instruction is best presented one LT level beyond a child's present level of thinking. This hypothesis was evaluated for an empirically-validated…

Although basing instruction on a learning trajectory (LT) is often recommended, there is little evidence regarding a premise of a LT approach--that to be maximally meaningful, engaging, and effective, instruction is best presented 1 LT level beyond a child's present level of thinking. We evaluated this hypothesis using an empirically validated LT…

This mixed-methods case study examines the effects of adaptive e-learning approaches focused on the connection between instructional material, structured as mini-lectures learned by following adaptive e-learning pathways, and student academic achievement. Specifically, it analyzes mini-video lectures' effectiveness in helping students understand…

Reading comprehension is contingent upon the integration of various reading skills, including word reading, reading fluency, and comprehension strategies. Students who encounter challenges in both word reading and reading comprehension present an opportunity for growth across multiple reading-related domains. Recent intervention data, as…
