Why Give Students Choice?
Giving students choices—⁠to personalize their learning experience (Personalized Learning) or embed multiple pathways to learning (Universal Design)—⁠is a research proven strategy that dramatically improves learner outcomes.
Effective use of student choice depends on student's ability to self-regulate, manage their effort, and monitor their own use of strategies. The last 12 years of research suggests that these factors strongly support student learning.
Visible Learning Meta X rates Effort Management (0.77), Self-Judgement and Reflection (0.75), Meta-cognition strategies (0.58), Strategy monitoring (0.58), and Self-regulation strategies (0.52) as better than average (0.4) at improving learning outcomes.
