Diversifying Learner Experience

A kaleidoscope of instructional approaches and strategies

Herausgegeben: Koh, Caroline

Beschreibung

This book brings together strategies and innovations that educators from diverse educational contexts have conceptualized and implemented to cater to differences in academic ability, as well as in other domains such as psychosocial contexts and developmental needs. The emergence of IT and new technologies have altered the educational landscape and opened a multitude of opportunities for diverse modes of instruction catering to diverse student populations.
The book addresses the gap in the literature with evidence-based reports of innovative strategies and approaches that are grounded in educational research. It identifies student differences in terms of academic ability and also, with regard to their cultural and social background, their developmental and psycho-emotional needs. It examines how new technologies are used in instructional approaches and how these innovative strategies diversify learner experiences. The book is a valuable resource to practitioners, researchers and educational administrators.

Autor

Caroline Koh is Associate Professor and Head, Psychology and Child & Human Development, National Institute of Education (NIE), Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. An educator for over three decades, she has researched and published on areas as diverse as learner motivation, group work, moral development and reasoning, national education and more recently, the use of technology-enhanced pedagogies. Through her career as a teacher and researcher, she found that IT and other new technologies have offered a multitude of opportunities for the proliferation of diverse modes of instruction catering to the diverse student populations. However, though educators have been constantly creating and adopting new pedagogies and instructional approaches, many of these have remained within the confines of the classroom and have not been shared with the wider community. Associate Professor Koh's work was conceived as an attempt to close this gap.
