Adaptive teaching means creating a learning environment and finding instructional approaches and techniques that conform to meet students’ needs.
Adaptive teaching is an approach aimed at achieving a common instructional goal with learners whose individual differences, such as prior achievement, aptitude, or learning styles differ. Adaptive teaching according to Borich (2011:41) “apply different instructional strategies to different groups of learners so that natural diversity prevailing in the classroom does not prevent any learner from achieving success”.
Teachers adapt their instruction to the particular student(s) with whom they are working and to the particular situations in which they find themselves.
Adaptive learning is an educational method which uses computers as interactive teaching devices, and to orchestrate the allocation of human and mediated resources according to the unique needs of each learner.
Adaptive Learning is data-driven and continually takes data from students and adapts their learning pathway to “change and improve over time for each student”.
