The document discusses three approaches to dealing with individual differences among students: developing instruction that accounts for differences, grouping students, and modifying instructional conditions. It then focuses on the 4MAT system, which develops instructional events to specifically address differences based on learning styles. The 4MAT system identifies four styles - concrete-random, abstract-sequential, concrete-sequential, and abstract-random - and proposes eight instructional steps pairing left and right brain modes to engage all students. While research is limited, the 4MAT system aims to provide opportunities for higher-order thinking tailored to individual learning preferences.
This is a presentation about an attempt to use Activity Theory as a programme evaluation methodology. Engagement with this theory shows that it has a language, a framework and a methodology , if used appropriately, could revolutionise programme evaluation.

This chapter explains learning and memories based on the biology. Driscoll shows some theories that human’s learning is related to the genetic inheritance and brain physiology in Biology. There are two kinds of causes to explain human’s behavior: proximate cause and ultimate cause. Ultimate cause is kind of instinctive desires our ancestors have had been formed to survive for a long time and inherited, the other one, proximate desire is related to the expression of genes or presence of certain behaviors. Ultimate cause interacted with environment leads evolution effects on conditions and cognition. Proximate cause drags on the interest of neurophysiologists, which is studied in the area of the brain with attention, learning and memory, and cognitive development.
This chapter shows that implication of evolution psychology for learning and instruction. First, human may be predisposed to certain fear but it is possible to overcome it with appropriate instructions. Second, it is very difficult to establish if behaviors are not predisposed to learn, but it also can be established using certain instructions. Third, previously adapted behaviors and “actions associated with decreased fitness in ancestral population may be difficult to overcome and establish, respectively, but if we give proper instructions to overcome and establish, it is possible.
In addition, Driscoll shows implication of neurophysiology for learning and instruction. Cognitive functions play different roles in learning and human development, the brain has plasticity naturally, the learning of language may be biologically pre-programmed and disabilities with learning may be related to neurological basis. Yet we don’t know still how the brain works to store memory and information, and what roles the brain play in learning. Many researches are ongoing to find out how we improve our faculties in learning and developing.

This chapter of Driscoll’s Psychology of Learning for Instruction evaluates the effects of biology in memory and learning. This affects are divided into two parts: evolution and neurophysiology. Evolution has an effect on cognition and conditioning. It is considered the main cause or ultimate of learning and memory. Neurophysiology is the direct cause of learning and memory. The indirect causes of neurophysiology’s effect on learning and memory are the brain and attention. Evolution and conditioning refer to the age old psychology argument nature vs. nurture. It is between what we are born knowing and what the environment gives (teaches ) us. According to Driscoll (2005), there is evidence to recommend that operant and classical conditions are subject to biological influences. The reason for that is based on the study pointed by Garcia and Koelling. They made a research on taste aversion focus on how rats regarded illness and pain.
The chapter also claims that our evolutionary heritage and genetic require specific constrain ...

A Survey on Various Learning Styles Used in E-Learning SystemEditor IJMTER
Personalized E-learning seeks to provide each individual learner with the right and
sufficient content they need according to learners level of knowledge, behavior and profile. The
performance of the learners can be enhanced by posting the suitable E-learning contents to the learners
based on their learning styles. Hence, it is very essential to have a clear knowledge about various
learning styles in order to predict the learning styles of different learners in E-learning environments.
However, predicting the learning styles needs complete knowledge about the learners past and present
characteristics. The core objective of this survey paper is to outline the working of the existing learning
style models and the metrics used to evaluate them. Based on the existing models, this paper identifies
Felder–Silverman learning style model as the appropriate model for E-learning so that it can enrich the
performance of the E-learning system.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. Considering Individual Differences
In general, there are three different
approaches for dealing with individual
differences among students:
• Develop events of instruction that
take into account individual differences
• Provide some sort of grouping in order to
reduce or accommodate the variability with
respect to student background, achievement,
ability or some other characteristic.
3. Considering Individual Differences
In general, there are three different
approaches for dealing with individual
differences among students:
• Modify the conditions within which
instruction is taking place.
4. The 4MAT System
The 4MAT system is a strategy for dealing
with individual differences is to develop or
modify the events of instruction so that they
specifically address individual differences.
It is a direct instruction approach to teaching
that utilizes research on brain lateralization
dominance and learning style to identify
specific instructional events that will be
attractive to a specific type of student.
5. The 4MAT System
According to Bernice McCarthy, developer of the
4MAT system, there are 4 major learning styles, each
of which asks different questions and displays
different strengths during the learning process.
These styles are based on the work of Gregorc &
Butler (1984) and are similar to the temperaments
as defined by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
(MBTI) and the Kiersy Temperament Sorter.
Gregorc, A., & Butler, K. (1984, April). Learning is a matter of style.
VocEd, 27-29.
11. The 4MAT System
Each learning style is associated with both
left- and right-brain learners.
Left
Logical, rational,
sequential, serial,
verbal
Right
Intuitive,
emotional, holistic,
parallel, and
tactile-kinesthetic
12. The 4MAT System
The 4MAT system is designed to provide every
student with a preferred task during every
lesson. There are the 8 instructional events
proposed by this system.
13. The 4MAT System
STEP LEFT MODE RIGHT MODE
WHY?
1 Create an

14. The 4MAT System
STEP LEFT MODE RIGHT MODE

3 Integrate into

8

17. The 4MAT System
The 4MAT system seems to have considerable
face validity, although there is not a widespread
research base to support it.
However, following the 4MAT system forces the
teacher to provide her students with
opportunities to engage in higher-order
thinking.
