Comparative Study of Differentiated Instruction Implementation Based on Global Perspectives

Gou Tong, Charanjit Singh

Abstract


The paper reviews the Differentiated instruction practices from an international perspective, describing how teaching styles go up to a great extent in different countries to meet the students’ needs. The paper looks at Differentiated instruction to fi nd disparities in countries with regard to their application: instructional strategies, assessment methods, and educational outcomes. It has underlined the case studies of Different regions, outlined common challenges, and pointed out Different successful practices while implementing Differentiated instructions. It brings into focus how cultural, educational, and policy differences shape instructional approaches. Such a comparative analysis would indeed have great potential to inform educators and policymakers looking to adapt and improve Differentiated instruction practices across a wide array of educational contexts with respect to general teaching effectiveness and student learning outcomes internationally.
