LEARNING PERSONALIZATION. Models, strategies, and tools to personalize learning in classroom

A foresight study on “The Future of Learning” sees in personalisation, collaboration and informalisation (informal learning) the core of learning in the future. Furthermore the improvement of the guidance, training and orienting systems in terms of learning and orienting personalization as well as the stronger focus on the active engagement and motivational aspects are recognized as decisive to contrast NEET and early school leaving phenomena.

But how to personalize a learning experience when you deal with a wide group of students?

This course introduces the basic concepts of learning personalization to design and manage learning personalized experiences also in collective action frames.

But first of all the course guides teachers to empower their teaching competences to face disengagement, demotivation, weaknesses of interest by the students, applying models, strategies, and tools of learning personalization in classroom.

Participants will be actively involved in guided activities experiencing the proposed strategies and tools, including self-evaluation activities, narrative and biographical approach, collaborative work strategies, learning agreement pedagogy, to apply different and increasing levels of learning personalization in classroom.

During the course participants will use minimized lectures, workshops, guided discussions and group work. At the end of each day there will be a moment of individual self-assessment, at the end of the course there will be a session for collective evaluation and peer review. The methodology adopted is that of Learning personalization.

Learning Community will supply the following materials: detailed course program;
