Certainly, it could be said that the oral histories shared within families might not  \nalways be entirely accurate; perhaps they were revised year-to-year or revised due to memory  \nissues. However, the criteria of relevancy and meaningfulness that made the personalization of  \nthe oral sharing of family history successful are what makes personalized learning successful  \ntoday.  \nThe formal definition of personalized learning provided by the U.S. Department of Education  \nin the 2017 National Education Technology Plan is:  \nPersonalized learning refers to instruction in which the pace of learning and the  \ninstructional approach are optimized for the needs of each learner. Learning objectives,  \ninstructional approaches, and instructional content (and its sequencing) all may vary  \nbased on learner needs. In addition, learning activities are meaningful and relevant to  \nlearners, driven by their interests, and often self-initiated (U.S. Department of  \nEducation, 2017, p.1). The Rand Report (2017), funded Bill and Melinda Gates,  \ndefined personalized learning as the “practices that tailor the pace and focus of  \ninstruction to address the needs and goals of each student.”(p. 1)  \nThe definitions of personalized learning vary depending on the framework of the author;  \nhowever, common themes that describe personalized learning are a student-centered approach,  \nstudent agency, flexible learning, demonstrated mastery of competencies, and a holistic  \nperspective to the whole child (DeMonte, 2019) . The theoretical foundations and originations  \nof personalization are generally considered to be Gardner’s (2011) Theory of Multiple  \nIntelligences and Self-Determination Theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000), although Peng, Ma, and  \nSpector (2019) trace personalized learning to Confucius, Socrates, and Dewey. Multiple  \nintelligence theory (Gardner, 2011) proposes that individuals are able to connect instructional  \ncontent in eight different “intelligences” rather than the most dominant, linguistic and logical  \nmathematical, in traditional educational settings. Self-determination theory, a humanistic  \napproach, represents a framework of human motivation and personality and is based on the  \npsychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness (Ryan & Deci, 1990) . The two  \nnoted theories directly relate to the instructional approach to effectively implement individual  \npersonalized learning. A combination of the two provides an additional perspective of including  \ndata-informed decision making to create a personal development layer with a personal vision  \nand assessment.  \nPersonalized learning is designed to address the disengagement of today’s students and to be  \nproactive in closing the growing achievement gaps occurring i","cbCailTnZhhrcQ0I","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailTnZhhrcQ0I","pdf",198667,"English","# Individual Personalized Learning\n## What is Personalized Learning?\n## Definitions and Common Themes\n## Theoretical Foundations and Origins\n## Goals and Impact on Students\n## Engagement Through Active Learning\n## Technology and Learning Formats","[{\"question\":\"How does the article define personalized learning?\",\"answer\":\"Personalized learning is described as optimizing the pace of learning and instructional approach for each learner, with learning objectives, content, and activities varying based on learner needs and interests (U.S. Department of Education, 2017).\"},{\"question\":\"What common themes describe personalized learning in the article?\",\"answer\":\"The article highlights a student-centered approach, student agency, flexible learning, demonstrated mastery of competencies, and a holistic perspective on the whole child (DeMonte, 2019).\"},{\"question\":\"Which theories are used as foundations for implementing personalized learning?\",\"answer\":\"The article links personalization to Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences and Self-Determination Theory, emphasizing autonomy, competence, and relatedness, and notes that these theories guide instructional approaches (Gardner, 2011; Ryan \\u0026 Deci, 2000).\"}]","Educational Considerations - Volume 46 - Number 2 - Article 10 - Individual Personalized Learning | PDF",1792093819,23]
