The Effectiveness of Differentiated Teaching Strategy in Developing Reading Comprehension Skills of Fourth Grade Students in the United Arab Emirates

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the differentiated teaching strategy in developing reading comprehension skills of fourth grade students in the United Arab Emirates. The study sample consisted of (49) male and female students, who were randomly distributed into an experimental group (23 students), and a control group (26 students). The experimental group was taught using the Differentiated Teaching strategy, and the control group was taught using the traditional method. To conduct the study and answer its questions, the researchers used the quasi-experimental approach and constructed a reading comprehension test. After the completion of the study, the post-test of reading comprehension skills was implemented; scores of the two groups were obtained; and the data were analyzed using the appropriate statistical methods. The results revealed that there were statistically significant differences in the post-test at the four levels (literal, deductive, critical, and creative) and reading skills in general between the scores of the two study groups in favor of the experimental group. This indicates that the Differentiated Teaching strategy had a positive impact on developing students' reading comprehension skills. In light of the results, a number of recommendations were drafted and presented.

PECULIARITIES OF DIFFERENTIATED TEACHING OF STUDENTS OF DESIGN OF TEXTILE PRODUCTS

The paper reveales difficulties in the process of teaching the disciplines of garment production in higher educational establishment. The problem of introduction of differentiated training of future teachers of technologies at classes of design and manufacturing of textile products has been analyzed. The research substantiates the necessity of teacher`s readiness to implement a differentiated approach and suggests recommendations for its application. The conditions for successful differentiation have been determined. The development of multilevel tasks, which are an effective and most common method of differentiated learning, has been proposed. The fact that it is necessary to compare their purpose and content with the level of knowledge and skills, individual and educational capabilities of students for the development of multilevel tasks is proven. The study explores the ways to differentiate practical tasks for future teachers of labor training and technology. The peculiarities of frontal, individual and group activities of students during the classes on design, modeling and technology of textile products are revealed. The advantages and disadvantages of the above mentioned activities are identified. Considering the individual characteristics of students, it is recommended to combine them into three typological groups. The authors argue on implementation of a differentiated approach to the development of creative projects, to control the acquired knowledge of future teachers of labor training and technology, as well as the ability to apply them when solving technical problems and completing practical tasks. An experimental survey of the method of differentiated teaching of students in the process of design and manufacturing textile products has been carried out and its effectiveness has been proved.

The subsystem of exercises for differentiated development of prospective teachers’ english-speaking interaction

In the article, the problem of differentiated development of prospective teachers’ English-interaction is investigated. In particular, the subsystem of exercises is presented according to three models: exercises for teaching English dialogue by the method of receptive-cognitive differentiation of learning; exercises for teaching English dialogue by the method of reproductive-cognitive differentiation of learning; exercises for teaching English dialogue by the method of emotional and motivational differentiation of learning. By the three models, the formation of skills and abilities in English dialogic speech includes the following stages: combining cues into dialogic units (with prior or subsequent listening to a sample dialogue), making a mini-dialogue, making the dialogue of a certain functional type. Within each stage, the example of the exercise for the formation of skills and / or abilities in English dialogic speech is given; the purpose of an exercise and its type are singled out; the example of teacher's instruction is attached to each exercise. The focus is in particular on the stages of the implementation of differentiated learning by three types. Thus, receptive-cognitive differentiation is realized at the stage of combining cues into dialogic units with prior and / or subsequent listening to the sample dialogue; reproductive-cognitive differentiation – at the stage of mini-dialogue making; emotional and motivational differentiation – at the stage of making the dialogue of a certain functional type. Teaching aids for the implementation of differentiated teaching of English dialogue for different typological subgroups of students have been developed. In particular, two types of the educational comic strip have been developed (by the dominant type of students' thinking) as a means of implementing reproductive-cognitive differentiation; two types of communicative situations (by the dominant cognitive motives of students) for the implementation of emotional and motivational differentiation of learning are proposed. Examples of educational supports have been introduced.

The Influence of Modern Electronic Media on the Teaching Content of Traditional Design

Objectives: At present, most of the researches on differentiated teaching focus on the theoretical research of differentiated instruction, the demonstration of necessity of differentiated instruction, the implementation process of differential teaching, and the implementation of differentiated teaching. Methods: at present, most of the researches on differentiated teaching focus on the theoretical research of differentiated instruction, the demonstration of necessity of differentiated instruction, the implementation process of differential teaching, and the implementation of differentiated teaching. Results: This paper took computer design course as an example, mainly from three aspects: the simple Bias classification algorithm, the student’s difference performance and the difference teaching. Based on the related theories, a student classification method based on Naive Bayes algorithm was proposed. Conclusion: This paper took computer design course as an example, mainly from three aspects: the simple Bias classification algorithm, the student’s difference performance and the difference teaching.

Perspectives on the implementation of differentiated teaching (on the example of teaching mathematics at the elementary level)

Student-centered learning is unimaginable without the implementation of differentiated approaches. We can find out a number of publications and articles about this subject. The American professor Carol Ann Tomlinson has quite important articles on differentiated teaching from contemporaries. In his work, Tomlinson discusses in detail and in depth the essence of differentiated teaching as one of the effective approaches and the principles of its implementation. However, a number of issues (why is differentiated learning so important and relevant? What makes it relevant?) Still require a good understanding in order to successfully implement this approach when teaching a particular subject. These issues are discussed in the article on the example of teaching elementary school mathematics and clarifies the perspectives of using a differentiated approach in these areas. Differentiated learning is fully suited to student-centered learning, as it implements a learning process focused on the needs, skills and abilities of each student (group of students). According to Tomlinson, differentiated learning is constructed and implemented to take into account the readiness, interests and learning profile of students to create optimal conditions for development for each of them. This is one of the best ways to implement an individual approach to students.Providing a learning process tailored to the needs of the students and teacher feedback on the needs of the students include teacher activities in a number of areas. Tonlimson and Mooney consider new opportunities for students, a sense of partnership, expectations, and training for quality learning significantly; Which contributes to class success and student growth. The condition for facilitating is the active involvement of students in the learning process, their cooperation;The essence of the issue is clarified in the article on the example of a mathematics course, how we can apply this approach in the teaching-learning process and why it is extremely valuable to implement differentiated teaching from the elementary level. This need is explained in relation to the specifics of teaching mathematics as a school subject. The "technology" of differentiated teaching, the essence of differentiation based on student readiness, as well as what the subject of differentiation includes are discussed in detail. Differentiation of each component according to the individual components of the curriculum (content, process, product) is discussed with specific examples. With the help of different types of tasks it is possible to use the possibilities and perspectives of differentiation in teaching mathematics at the elementary level. Some recommendations in this regard are offered. The issue discussed in the article concludes that the purposeful use of differentiation from the elementary level gives a great chance for the multifaceted development of students, which is accompanied by the results of successful teaching in mathematics.

The author of the article has come to the conclusion that with the help of distance education technologies it is not only possible to put a number of routine pedagogical activities on a computer’s shoulders, but to organize really qualitative, individual, differentiated teaching. In the author’s opinion, in the Google Classroom service it is convenient and effective to work both for a teacher and a student/pupil, as the service provides the users with a generic working device, possesses a human-engineered interface and capabilities necessary for the participants of the educational process

Attitudes of Arabic Language Teachers Towards the Use of Differentiated Teaching Strategies When Teaching the Grammatical Function: اتجاهات معلمي اللغة العربية نحو استخدام استراتيجيات التدريس المتمايز في أثناء تدريس الوظيفة النحوية

The aim of this research is to uncover the attitudes of Arabic language teachers towards using differentiated teaching strategies while teaching the grammatical function of middle school students, and the effect of each of their academic qualifications, teaching experience and training courses on their attitudes towards these strategies. The researchers used the descriptive and analytical method. The sample of the study consisted of (103) middle school Arabic language teachers in Jeddah, who were randomly selected. The study used a questionnaire tool, where its paragraphs were formulated according to the gradation of the five-dimensional Likert scale. The results of the research found that the overall average of grades of estimating attitudes of Arabic language teachers towards the use of differentiated teaching strategies Reached (3.71) with a response score (Agree); Which indicates the presence of the positive trend they have, as well as the same response in each axis of the tool, and the results also showed that there are no statistically significant differences at the level (α≤0.05 (between the average responses of the sample members in the trends as a whole due to the two variables (qualification type The teaching experience), and in the variable (training courses), we found statistically significant differences at the level of (α≤0.05 (between the average responses of the sample members in the attitudes as a whole in favor of the training courses. The study recommended holding more training courses related to differentiated teaching and its strategies, how to employ them with Arabic language lessons, also recommended the need to deepen the skill of the grammatical function in students' minds by employing differentiated teaching strategies that support this.
