Individualized Group: Implications for Further Research

From LiteracyTentWiki

For the most part, implications and questions are presented as originally written by participants at the Meeting of Minds Symposium. This means that some items might be fragments of thoughts and therefore hard to understand. If you were a participant and see such a response, please feel free to edit the implication to reflect what you or your table was thinking.

To comment on the implications, use the edit function of the wiki. To add a new implication, use a single *. To add a comment to an implication, use **. Using this notation creates the following structure:

Individualized Group Instruction: A Reality of ABE
Perrine Robinson-Geller, NCSALL Research Assistant
NCSALL - Rutgers University

Implications for Further Research:

  • What is the best mixture?
  • What is the difference between IGI and differentiated instruction?
  • Success rate/dropout rate
  • Is there a way to compare which approaches (IGI vs. traditional) work ‘better’ for different systems?
  • What is ‘too big’ for IGI classes (how many ss. are too many)
  • How to deliver instructions for results in IGI
  • What is the connection between IGI instruction and students’ successful practices in real life?
  • Research on the effectiveness of this model compared to the effectiveness of other modes of instruction?
  • Drop-out rate
  • Learner persistence
  • 100% IGI vs. hybrid, is one better?
  • What do you miss out on in 100% IGI
  • We need a larger study about how IGI is implemented
  • We need to see more about how IGI is and can be adapted in innovative ways
  • Need better definition of Individualized instruction
  • What is the rigor of the curriculum?
  • How do orientations to class instruction affect participation?
