Systematic Process for Evaluating the Individualization of Instruction.
Ellison, Jane L.; Sherman, Thomas M.
A model for evaluating the extent to which instruction is individualized is described. The model is based on a conceptualization of individualization which focuses on observable teacher behavior resulting in the manipulation of classroom environmental and instructional variables to meet the needs of individual learners. For evaluation purposes individualization was considered an attribute of instruction. An evaluation instrument was developed and field tested. This indicated that teachers and others can employ the model reliably. The model appears to be valid and have heuristic value; several implications for the use of the model are discussed. (Author)
