Advantages And Disadvantages Of Adaptive Learning

THE TESTING OF ADAPTIVE LEARNING TECHNOLOGY 1

Introduction

The topic introduced in this research paper is the benefits and drawbacks of Adaptive Learning Technology. Adaptive Learning Technology refers to any software or online resources that adjust to the needs of the individual learner. Remediation, reactions and responses are recorded and collected data predicts where the learner must focus in order to improve performance. Many envision this to be the new patient tutor who provides personalized instruction in the future.

I currently operate a Homeschool for less than 25 students and believe that it is beneficial for students to have a personalized approach to learning. I would like to expand my school with the knowledge

This paper will contain the requests of my Homeschool students and will measure both the advantages and disadvantages of Adaptive Learning Technologies. My findings will allow us to use the most appropriate, user friendly, and efficient Adaptive learning tools for Homeschool students.

I will focus and attempt to answer the following questions and concerns. “How well does CAT (Computerized adaptive testing) determine the personal needs of the learner?” Does the use of CAT and other Adaptive Learning Technologies suggest and determine the best Adaptive Learning Technology available for students to use? Are we as teachers able to offer recommendations so that students can be successful learners?

Through research inquiry, I will summarize how adaptive learning technologies impact student learning in K-6 education. This research will identify current ALTs available, and provide a case for implementation of CAT in a Korean Homeschooling

Systems automatically sense learning objects in the actual environment in order to assist the learner in carrying out learning activities that match their actual context.

Personal learning management: The system can automatically record each learner’s personalized learning profile and progress in order to assist the learner with learning self-management.

Adaptive learning: Adaptive learning is based on the idea of adapting learning methodologies to students ' learning styles. The concept is that an individualized method of teaching will help students learn at a faster pace, more effectively, and with greater understanding. Some of the elements of adaptive learning include: monitoring student activity, interpreting the results, understanding students ' requirements and preferences, and using the newly gained information to facilitate the learning process (Paramythis & Loidl-Reisinger, 2004).

Ubiquitous learning: This is an environment in any setting in which students can become totally immersed in the learning process. Education and learning is happening all around the student but the student may not be conscious of the learning process. Source data is present and students do not have to DO anything in order to learn. They just have to be there (Jones, & Jo,
