Abstract

Çalışmanın amacı: Bu çalışma, farklılaştırılmış eğitimin temel teorik paradigmalarını, yöntemlerini, tekniklerini ve özelliklerini araştırarak, eğitim içeriğini geliştirme ve öğrenme sürecini kolaylaştırma konusundaki etkinliğini sistematik bir şekilde değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma, farklılaştırma stratejilerinin, çeşitli öğrenme ihtiyaçlarını ve tercihlerini ele alarak öğrenci başarısı ve katılımına nasıl katkı sağladığını ortaya çıkarmayı hedeflemektedir.
Materyal ve Yöntem: Araştırma, farklılaştırılmış eğitimi analiz etmek için betimsel bir çalışma yöntemi kullanmaktadır. Çalışma, etkinliğini etkileyen temel faktörleri belirleyerek öğretim yöntemlerine, süreç farklılaştırmasına ve bireysel hazırbulunuşluk düzeylerinin dikkate alınmasına odaklanmaktadır. Bu bileşenlerin öğrenci öğrenimini desteklemek için nasıl bir arada çalıştığını incelemek amacıyla teorik ve pratik içgörülerden yararlanılmaktadır.
Bulgular: Bulgular, farklılaştırılmış eğitimin, eğitim içeriğini öğrencilerin bireysel öğrenme stilleri ve tercihleriyle uyumlu hale getirerek öğrenmeyi önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Çeşitli öğretim yöntemleri, esnek öğretim stratejileri ve kişiye özel geri bildirimler sunarak, farklılaştırılmış eğitim, öğrencilerin motivasyonunu, katılımını ve başarısını artırmaktadır. Çalışma, bireysel hazırbulunuşluk düzeylerinin ele alınmasının ve öğrencilere öğrenme seçimlerinde özerklik sağlanmasının, eğitimsel sonuçları en üst düzeye çıkarmadaki önemini vurgulamaktadır.
Önemli Vurgular: Farklılaştırılmış eğitim, görsel, işitsel, kinestetik ve metinsel gibi çeşitli öğrenme biçimlerine uyum sağlayarak katılımı artırır. Bireysel özelliklere ve hazırbulunuşluk düzeylerine uygun şekilde tasarlanmış ders planları ve materyaller hayati önem taşır. Esnek öğretim yöntemleri ve çeşitli içerik seçenekleri, öğrencilerin öğrenme seçimlerinde özerklik kazanmalarını sağlar. Farklılaştırma stratejileri, öğrencilerin benzersiz deneyimlerini, ön bilgilerini, ilgi alanlarını ve profillerini ele alarak genel motivasyon ve başarıyı artırır.

A Systematic Research on Exploring How Differentiated Instruction Can Provide a Remedy to Facilitate and Promote Learning

Year 2025, Volume: 33 Issue: 3, 513 - 522, 25.07.2025

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the foundational theoretical paradigms, methodologies, techniques, and characteristics of differentiated instruction, aiming to systematically evaluate its effectiveness in enhancing educational content and facilitating the learning process. It seeks to uncover how differentiation strategies contribute to student success and engagement by addressing diverse learning needs and preferences.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The research employs a descriptive study method to analyse differentiated instruction. It identifies key factors that influence its efficacy, focusing on instructional methods, process differentiation, and the consideration of individual readiness levels. The study draws on theoretical and practical insights to explore how these components work in concert to support student learning.
Findings: The findings reveal that differentiated instruction significantly enhances learning by aligning educational content with students' individual learning styles and preferences. By offering a variety of instructional methods, flexible teaching strategies, and tailored feedback, differentiated instruction fosters greater student motivation, engagement, and success. The study highlights the importance of addressing individual readiness levels and providing autonomy in learning choices to maximize educational outcomes.
Highlights: Differentiated instruction improves engagement by accommodating diverse learning modalities (e.g., visual, auditory, kinaesthetic, and textual). Tailored lesson plans and materials designed to match individual characteristics and readiness levels are crucial. Flexible teaching methods and varied content options enable students to make autonomous learning choices. Differentiation strategies address the unique experiences, prior knowledge, interests, and profiles of learners, enhancing overall motivation and success.
