The teacher can facilitate this process by helping the learner develop new ideas by putting together new and old information, and synthesizing a unique understanding that is personally useful to the learner. Individualization means structuring a learning activity to meet the unique needs and perceptions of the learner. People are different and this includes the way they learn. Some learn at slower or faster rates. Some grasp concepts easily while others need more specific information for understanding.
Some people learn more easily with visual teaching aids while others prefer written materials.
To individualize, the teacher must be able to assess the learning style of the person and know teaching tools and methods to fit a variety of learning styles. In order to determine the effectiveness of teaching, evaluation must take place. The evaluation of learning is directly related to the goals and objectives that the teacher and learner have set. If the objectives have been met, then learning has taken place. If not, a reassessment is in order.
