From a methodological point of view, it is worth creating an adaptive learning route for already mastered and known learning materials. The application of the adaptive route is methodologically inappropriate tool in order to learn a new curriculum.
If the goal is to learn new subject matter, in this case it is definitely a linear route.
We recommend its use.
The purpose of using a linear route is precisely that a given slide is everything to the route in some parts, on each task included in the route, in the knowledge transfer material part go through The creation of linear routes and their methodological importance is given we write in more detail in chapter.
During the creation of linear routes, we were introduced to the concept of UNIT. It is adaptive when negotiating routes, it is essential to clarify the concept of SUPERUNIT.
Superunits are special, complex units in which additional assistants, supporting tasks and explanations can be placed.
These helper support tasks are explained to each unit in advance and must be placed, however, they only become active if the student is in difficulty during the solution of the basic task.
If the student can successfully complete the task at a higher difficulty level can step. These difficulty levels can be traversed on the adaptive route depending on which task causes problems for the student. This is where the power of the adaptive methodology lies students are individually provided with a unique route based on their knowledge and needs for students.
Therefore, during the application of the adaptive route, all students are assigned to the same task starts the route by solving So at the beginning of the route they perform the same tasks, this depending on how successful they are in completing the given tasks, your individual routes diverge. Some students have higher difficulty tasks p., some students continue with the adaptive through helpful tasks and explanations.
Using an adaptive route for the teacher is also a good option because the given class is a group from the results of the adaptive route completed by, you can see the average performance of the group, or the the average performance of the group, but also sees the individual performances.
It helps the teacher in creating the so-called CLUSTERS, which will be discussed in the next chapter we will talk more.
