THE CONCEPT OF DIFFERENTIATION LEARNING: SOLUTIONS OF DIVERSITY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LEARNING

Abstract

The aims of this research is to describe the concept of differentiation learning as a solution to the diversity of learning in the classroom. Differentiation learning was launched simultaneously with independent learning which has started to be implemented in elementary schools. The main feature of differentiation learning is to interpret every diversity possessed by students to be facilitated properly in learning activities. Differentiation learning seeks to modify the process of education and learning in the classroom to accommodate the fulfillment of the learning needs of each student. In practice, the teacher must be able to consider that each student in the class has diverse and unique learning needs. Differentiation learning consists of differentiation of content, processes and learning products. Therefore students must have broad opportunities to be able to demonstrate what they have learned in the learning process which is carried out according to their learning needs. The research method used is library research. Data collection techniques are carried out by searching data through various sources, both papers, books, articles and journals. The results of the study show that differentiation learning is considered to be able to facilitate the diversity of students through a series of content, context and product-based learning activities.
