Abstract

Adaptive teaching is the newly evolved technique to achieve better results in class. This involved judgements and adaptations needed during the lesson depending on students need during the delivery of lessons. Teachers have tried many techniques like Rosenshine Principles to enhance the quality of lessons in terms of delivery and outcome but it cannot ensure success in every lesson. Hence I propose here an Adaptive Teaching where the step size for duration and content will depend on the complexity of the topic being taught. The immediate feedback in term of answers from the student will enable the teacher to immediately adapt the duration of topic. This is used in Mathematics to cover all the samples as possible. In teaching the sample will be learners and the step size will be duration of delivery of lessons. Reducing the step size or duration of important topic will improve the accuracy of the approximation but since the step size is reduced it will increase the hours of lessons and computational cost in terms of teacher’s time. This paper proposes an adaptive teaching approach, adjusting lesson pace and content based on real-time student feedback. The teachers assess the data gathered from real time information like questioning, quizzes, discussions and other observations. It requires flexibility, responsiveness and a growing mind set from teachers. A study of 50 learners demonstrated that immediate feedback helps refine lesson duration and complexity, resulting in improved outcomes. This approach emphasizes student-driven learning, supported by ongoing formative assessment.
