Students have different levels and educational needs. Education must be adapted to the differences between pupils. Differentiation is the way a teacher handles differences between pupils by varying such things as instruction mode and instruction time. With divergent differentiation the teacher approaches individual levels and educational needs of the children. The teacher facilitates the learning process of the students. Fred Janssen of the University of Leiden (ICLON) conducted an impact of Practical Differentiation method.
Students of Primary and Secondary schools cooperated on projects based on Design Thinking. Groups were composed of 8 international students. They took about 6 months. The subjects were developed in cooperation with scientific institutes, companies and museums. Students presented the results of their projects at both places: in their own city and in a partner city too.
The evaluation of the project was a combination of evaluation on results of the projects, as indicated in the program and self-evaluation by all participants. The outcome of this Evaluation was published in an Impact-Evaluation Report and presented at the International Conference on Talent Education in 2018.
An International Conference of Talent Education was organised in Leiden in summer of 2018. This Conference was open to every teacher, educator, director, policy-maker, and researcher in the field of Education. In this conference the results of the project Talent Education were presented together with workshops based on the developed practices, methods, and tools.
