Benefits and difficulties of personalized learning?
I believe that personalized learning has an immense amount of benefits within todays educational focus. With students becoming more and more attached t’digital learning platforms,’ and more opinionated about what works for us the ability to spread them out into separate groups and achieve what fits each student best is going to help progress knowledge as a whole. With the development of personalized learning throughout the classroom the ability to give the students the responsibility of generating certain assignments throughout the given times. This helps provide the students with the idea that it is their personal responsibility to finish the assignments during the class time.
Some of the difficulties of personalized learning is developing the teacher-student trust in order for the students to participate in the personalized learning. Instead of the teacher running around because students are reminding off task. Another difficulty is depending on the students that are inside the classroom, due to some student’s learning styles it may be difficult for them to get a grasp on the personalized concept aspect.
Personal thoughts?
My thoughts on personalized learning are very positive. I believe that it is really the way that teaching should focus toward, the ability to direct each students needs and wants out of a classroom will help provide the teacher with insights to what belongs in each section. While the concept has not been accepted throughout the teaching community I have personally witnessed a few teachers who have implemented the personalized learning concept into their classroom and it really does help the students. I think the reason it is successful is because it grants the students a sense of responsibility in order to provide the right assignments by the due dates, and while doing these assignments they are allowed to generate them the way or order they wish.
For my web article I was able to find an interesting article about an article in Pittsfield and the integration of “student-centered learning.’ They claimed that this integration had generated an immense amount of interest throughout the student body. Although they explain that the integration of this style of teaching is difficult it presents an immense amount of positive feedback not only from the students but also from test scores and comprehension tests.
