What is Individualization in Education?
This week, Mr. Simon talked about individualization in Education. He started his lesson requesting us to explain what each group understood as Individualization in Education. We discussed it inside our Homegroup (Trust Family ;) ) and, after that, we explained how it could happen using the picture below.
We tried to show how individualization is affected by three factors: 1) School, 2) Teachers and 3) Student. We believe that each component not only affect the individualization process but also there is a relationship among them.
After all discussion in classroom, while I was resting in my Finnish home, I tried to develop a mathematical argument to summarize my thoughts. So, tell me, what do you think about my model?
Individualization process=(School support+(teachers self-regulation)^2+students self-regulation)*(autonomy*trust)
Where:
School support=(flexible curriculum+infrastructure design+teachers training)
Teacher self-regulation=(technical knowledge+pedagogical knowledge*)
Student self-regulation=(responsibility+venture)
*How students learn and how to improve it
I believe this model can explain the critical conditions for individualization process occurs inside a School, allowing Teachers to observe each student as a unique person. Take a look the teachers self-regulation, in my opinion, is more important than the other two factors and it is improved by training about how students learn.
It is the reason why Federal Institute Network needs the Vet Teachers for the Future (BRAZIL-FINLAND) Program.
