Differentiation Learning Design In Primary Schools: Systematic Literature Review
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aims to explore concepts, principles, implementation and challenges in differentiated learning design in elementary schools using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The research method used involves collecting, analyzing and synthesizing various previous studies related to differentiated learning at the elementary school level. The research results show that a differentiated learning approach can improve student engagement and academic outcomes by adapting content, processes, and evaluation according to individual needs. However, there are obstacles to its implementation, such as limited teacher understanding, lack of resources, and minimal policy support. With continuous evaluation and collaboration between teachers, students and parents, differentiated learning can be implemented more effectively. The results of this research provide academic insight as well as practical recommendations for educators and policy makers in improving the quality of basic education that is more inclusive and adaptive to student needs.
