INDIVIDUALIZATION OF LEARNING USING THE SMART EDUCATION PLATFORM AND APPLICATIONS

Summary/Abstract: In the years when technology offers the possibility to create products that are more and more specialized and adapted to the needs of the client, the desire for education to be able to offer such a benefit is justified. But without a good quantitative and qualitative knowledge of the preparation, of the progress of each student, without a continuous monitoring of them, it is not possible to speak of an individualized education. The platform and the applications for students and teachers made under the name Smart Education allow for a common monitoring process, teacher-student preparation, display of contents for learning and tests, grouped by disciplines, general competences and specific competences. Education can thus go from one imposed to that which is achieved through cooperation, adapted to the intentions, possibilities and pace of development of each student. It can thus be thoroughly constructed, with the specific responsibilities correctly assumed: of the student for the effort and the interest for his own preparation and of the teacher for his most adapted support. The first part shows briefly, what is meant by smart education and why it is important to individualize education. The following is a way of collaborating and monitoring the results obtained and the progress made in the teacher-student couple in the direction of developing the students’ competence in different fields, according to the school programs. In order to facilitate the collaboration, a platform has been built that apart from learning materials and tests, there is also a section with double monitoring of the student preparation. Using an application made for the Android operating system the students can go through the materials proposed for the study, solving tests and mark the mastery skills. Teachers can validate the competences what they have verified, view test results etc., using another Android application. Each descriptor / skill within the specific competences mentioned in the curriculum has a certain number of credits associated. In this way, the credits can be centralized on the specific and general competences. An overall, qualitative and quantitative picture of the preparation of each student is obtained, as well as the progress over a set period. In this way, at all times, the teacher and the student have an accurate picture, up to date on the level of competence in all the fields pursued, and the first big step for a good individualization is made.
