�Differentiated Instruction �

Different students have different:

  • Backgrounds
  • Learning needs
  • Learning abilities
  • Learning preferences

Remember:

"People differ in their abilities and strengths, and intelligence is multifaceted, not a single entity" (Tomlinson, 2014, p. 31).

​

5 of 66

Differentiated Instruction is to:

  • Understand the different needs of students.
  • Give direction according to students' learning abilities and learning preferences.
  • Eliminate learning gaps in students.

Strategies for Differentiated Instruction

In the heterogeneous classroom, teachers should identify each element in the learner through summative and formative assessments before, during, and after the unit of Instruction.

Elements of differentiated instruction:

  • Readiness
  • Interest
  • learning profile (IRIS Center, 2020)

6 of 66

Readiness, Interest, and Learning Profile

Readiness

The student's current knowledge and abilities in the specific subjects.

​

Interest

The student's inspiration and hobbies motivate them to increase their curiosity and engagement.

​

Learning Profile

The student's learning preference. Some students are interested in collaborative work, visual presentations, or hands-on projects.

​

The learning profile can be:

  • Groups of students with similar levels of learning ability through collaborative classwork.
  • Different types of instruction in the class.

​

(IRIS Center, 2020)

The Elements to Achieve Differentiated Instruction

Content- Different curricula for students to master knowledge aligned with education standards.

​

Process- The activities or ways of instruction to teach students.

​

Product- The students' academic outcomes.

​

“

"Challenges show intelligence can be expanded, not by birth (Tomlinson, 2014, p. 31)".

​

  • Students need to be challenged to feel excited about learning when the challenge is appropriate according to their skills and readiness.

​

  • Challenge helps to expand students' perspectives and abilities to a higher level.

​

Differentiated Instruction Leads to Appropriate Challenges

​

9 of 66

Differentiated instruction supports challenges in learning through:

  • The recognition of students' readiness to create not-too-hard and easy challenges.
  • Various instructions to help them discover and develop their abilities through solving challenges.
  • Related to the high interest and relevance to students' feelings and real-life experiences (Tomlinson, 2014, p. 33).�

Authentic Learning

It is the implementation of project-based learning related to students' interests and prior knowledge to apply to real-life problems.

It helps students to develop the following skills:

  • Higher-order thinking
  • Executive functioning
  • Planning, organizing, and managing
  • Self-monitoring
  • Collaboration

(Martinez & McGrath, 2021, pp. 30-31)

11 of 66

Benefits of the Authentic Learning

  • It enables collaboration with peers and teachers for immediate feedback.
  • It supports positive peer-to-peer relationships.
  • It provides opportunities for outdoor and indoor learning.
  • It helps to promote students' interest.
  • It increases motivation and creativity in students.
  • Students can learn to apply knowledge in situations.

(Hwang et al., 2021, pp. 2214-2215)

TPACK

What is TPACK?

It is the strategy for effective educational technology implementation through combining and recombining three types of knowledge to get a balanced and comprehensive intervention.

​

  • Technological Knowledge (TK) in teachers.
  • Pedagogical Knowledge (PK) in teachers.
  • Content Knowledge (CK) in teachers.

​

​

(Kurt, 2019)

​

Figure 8

TPACK Map (Kurt, 2019)

35 of 66

Teachers need to balance the elements of practical implementation.

The combined elements are”

  • Technological-Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK) is the relationship between technological and pedagogical practices.
  • Pedagogical-Content Knowledge (PCK) is the pedagogical practice that suits learning objectives.
  • Technological-content knowledge (TCK) is the relationship between technologies and learning objectives.

(Kurt, 2019)

​

TPACK

36 of 66

Why the TPACK Strategy?�

  • It helps to communicate the content of the instruction and supports the pedagogy to enhance students' learning.
  • It motivates teachers to be content-driven, pedagogically sound, and technologically forward-thinking.

(Kurt, 2019)

  • Students receive grades from the summative assessment, which are recorded on the report card.
  • The content of the summative assessment follows the standards of the state.
  • It can be homework, quizzes, and examinations.

​

42 of 66

Formative Assessment

  • It is an informal assessment that does not require grades.
  • It happens during instruction or after the content is taught.
  • It can be in various styles, not only restricted to pen and paper.
  • It assesses students at intervals as they tackle specific goals (Tibbitt, 2020, p. 73).

​

43 of 66

Why Do Teachers Need to Implement Consistent Formative Assessments?
