Summary
Personalized learning (PL) implementation in K-12 schools shows higher academic success when teachers thoroughly use PL features and technology. High-performing schools integrate career goals, community sharing, and technology more effectively for better student outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Education
- Learning Sciences
- Educational Technology
Background:
- The Every Student Succeeds Act promotes personalized learning (PL) to address achievement gaps in US K-12 education.
- Transforming traditional classrooms to personalized learning environments faces challenges, particularly with standardized testing pressures and unclear effective PL strategies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare personalized learning (PL) approaches and technology integration in high-performing versus low-performing learner-centered schools.
- To identify specific PL features and technology uses associated with better academic outcomes.
Main Methods:
- Utilized national survey data from English Language Arts teachers in learner-centered K-12 schools.
- Compared schools based on standardized test results, analyzing the implementation of five PL features and four technology functions.
Main Results:
- Teachers in high-performing schools demonstrated more comprehensive PL implementation and broader technology utilization.
- Key differences included considering career goals in personal learning plans, community sharing of project outcomes, assessing non-academic results, and using technology for resource sharing.
Conclusions:
- Thorough implementation of personalized learning (PL) features and strategic technology use are linked to improved academic performance.
- Educators and administrators can leverage these findings to optimize PL strategies and technology integration for enhanced student achievement.

01:25Learning Disabilities
403
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

01:29Self-Discrepancy and Its Effects
133
Self-discrepancy theory explains how people compare their actual self to their ideal and ought selves and how mismatches between these self-guides can lead to emotional distress. Developed by E. Tory Higgins, the theory distinguishes among three components of self-concept: the actual self, the ideal self, and the ought self. These refer respectively to how individuals perceive themselves, how they aspire to be, and how they believe they are obligated to be. Emotional well-being, self-esteem,...
