1 Research Article Review Caroline B. Johnson Liberty University EDUC 350: Behavior and Individual Differences Prof. Jaime Robertson November 21, 2023
2 In the article, a group of faculty members creates a program for a four-year, research- based university. During this experiment, they observed five different members who took part in the program. In the course, there are two types of studios, which are, the “learning” and “experience” studios. All students who took part in this research all had different skill sets and backgrounds. For example, Zixi Li “is a doctoral student of the Instructional Systems Technology Department, Indiana University, Bloomington,” Xlaoqlan Nlu “studied user research in the master’s program at the School of Information, University of Michigan,” Botao Lu “graduated from the University of Michigan, and currently works as UX Designer at MathWorks with a background in Journalism and Information Science,” and Vincent Qiu “is a design, technology, and innovation consultant working in digital transformation and futurist strategy” (Gray et al., 2019). All of these people took part in the experiment. The reason for this research was to prove the benefits of differentiated instruction. The purpose of the learning and experience studios in this research was to provide differentiated instruction and to integrate the real-world into learning. This not only helps students be successful learners, but also helps better prepare them for the workforce. These are both attributes of a quality curriculum. According to Sousa & Tomlinson, “A quality curriculum is also highly relevant to students and enlists their motivation to learn. Finally, a quality curriculum engages students in the discipline in authentic ways that approximate the ways experts in the discipline work” (2018). The research conducted in this article proves this. The study also showed that in order for a curriculum or program to be successful, students must be able to receive formative feedback. In other words, a student does not simply need to hear if their work was right or wrong, they need to know why their work was good or bad, and they need to be told how they can improve in the future. The article states that “our
3 students would receive formative feedback that enabled their progression towards mastery in each area” (Gray et al., 2019). With a combination of quality curriculum, differentiation, and formative feedback, this program was successful. The information found in the article can be helpful for teachers. Reading the article will help them understand the importance and effectiveness of quality curriculum and differentiated instruction in the classroom. Teachers could take the ideas the researchers had in the article and integrate them into their classroom. For example, a math teacher could teach students the curriculum from the textbook, and then supplement the instruction with real life examples and hands on manipulatives. Just as the two studios in the article helped students learn the material in different ways and then experience it in real life scenarios, doing this in a math class can help students learn the material and then connect what they learned to their everyday life.
