While in transit at an airport, my eyes accidentally landed on the payment receipt for the food and drink that I had just enjoyed. There is an unfamiliar variable in the receipt. Asking the waiter and cashier unfortunately did not give me a satisfactory answer. It was this incident which later inspired me to design a differentiated learning experience.<\/p>\n
The current popularity of the notion of differentiated learning during the implementation of the Emancipated Curriculum seemed to be something new. However, differentiated learning or learning with different instructions has developed along with the findings of neuroscience research since the 1980s. Various results of research on cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and pedagogy have cumulatively influenced educational practices to date. Thus to understand differentiation in learning is not enough with a practical orientation, but it is important to also consider an epistemological perspective.<\/p>\n
