The Strategies for Exploration of Teaching-Learning Models and Assessment Materials Considering Individual Differences in Practical Arts Education

This study was conducted for the smooth landing of the 7th practical arts National Curriculum, which will be implemented from the year 2000 in elementary school. The major purpose of this study was to provide practical arts teachers guidance in creating learning environments that address the diversity and differences of students in typical Korean practical arts classrooms. In particular, it was intended to develop differentiated instructional models and assessment materials to consider the diversity and differences of learners in practical arts education in the elementary school level. The major results of the study were as follows, (a) Proposing two purposes of differentiated education considering individual differences-the minimization of individual differences and the maximization of individual differences. While the former pursues the equality of educational outcomes regardless of learners’ ability and other characteristics, the latter concerns fostering the individuality of educational opportunity to pursue personal goals and needs. (b) Selecting important individual difference factors in practical arts classroom learning through literature review. Two factors-ability and interests were chosen. (c) Providing instructional strategies in view of differentiated instruction. (d) Proposing the directions of assessment pursued in this study and introducing several types of performance-assessment methods. (e) Providing the instructional design procedure, which combines teaching-learning process with assessment activities. (f) Designing two differentiated instructional models by two individual difference factors. They are Ability Model and Interest Model. (g) Analyzing the instructional plans and assessment materials collected in several elementary schools to identify the extent and degree of considering individual differences in the classroom context.
