Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
The term ‘personalised learning’ has been in vogue for a long time. Earlier, it referred to a one-to-one tutoring system, mostly for the privileged. Today, it refers to learning that prioritises an individual student’s requirements and uses flexible instructional practices in terms of content, pace and materials. Learning need not be linear as, sometimes, learners may have to take a step back if not equipped with the necessary schemata to understand the content. The entire learning process becomes student-centric and the students are encouraged to design their own learning pathways.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Analytics play a major role in online and hybrid learning platforms. Globally, HEIs are introducing programmes where AI provides the platform to launch personalised learning. Technology provides a variety of materials in various formats to suit different students and monitor and assess their progress. However, it does not undermine the teacher’s role. There are areas such as communication and collaborative skills, and emotional intelligence, which require human intervention. Therefore, the role of teachers in personalised learning remains as important as it is in traditional learning. AI can never replace educators; it can only enhance and support personalised learning by providing automated tasks, assessment platforms and feedback.
Many paths of study emerge and all ultimately merge with the curriculum’s common learning outcome. Thus, the pattern of education becomes student-centric. This systemic change gives a new dimension to the teaching-learning process where teaching becomes counseling, and the teacher becomes a mentor. The students are motivated to take control of their learning and become autonomous.
