“…These materials are selected and adapted to support flexible learning environments, allowing pupils to choose different study modes, study at their preferred times and locations, and engage with activities and resources that enhance student-centeredness. According to Yin and Chai (2020), addressing the unique characteristics and individuality of each student is an important component of education. It is crucial to cater to the diverse needs of learners to create an inclusive learning environment where they can flourish and attain their full potential.…”

Reading fosters a global perspective for pupils to hurdle through upcoming challenges. The rapid technological advancements have underscored the necessity for pupils to possess wellrounded competencies, thereby highlighting the paramount significance of strong reading skills. Consequently, teachers seek innovative ways to improve reading competencies by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. Numerous studies have been conducted on reading skills, AI technology and material development. Yet, studies on developing personalised reading materials for Malaysian primary school pupils using ChatGPT remain uncharted. Henceforth, this review established an understanding of developing personalised reading materials and the research gap and future directions. Three dominant databases were utilised in this review: Google Scholar, Educational Resources Information Centre (ERIC) and ResearchGate in the compilation of the research articles. An extensive search was carried out by using phrases to compile the articles on the topic. This review synthesised findings of 50 journal articles (between 2019 and 2023) based on identified selected criteria to consolidate understanding on personalised reading materials and the role of AI technology. The findings indicated that reading skills remain important to advance pupils in the globalised world. AI technology such as ChatGPT can be utilised in teaching and learning and it is aligned with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Sustainable Development Goals and the concept of Malaysia Madani. The stakeholders should consider establishing guidelines for primary and secondary schools to use the technology ethically. Hence, the technology has the potential to leverage pupils' reading competencies.

“…Mathematics teachers have, therefore, a critical role in establishing the most successful teaching and learning approaches in the classroom. During learning, learners interact with the environment and others to understand themselves and their world (Yin & Chai, 2020). Providing classroom instruction that caters to individual learners in a mathematics classroom poses a challenge for teachers (Cheung et al, 2020).…”

Learner diversity should be understood beyond the aspects of race, culture and gender. Learner-centred practices have been highly acclaimed as practical tools to meet learner needs in diverse classrooms. The purpose of this research is to determine whether mathematics teachers can employ assessment to monitor and encourage learner diversity in their classes. Assessment for learning techniques, as per research evidence, has the ability to assist teachers to improve their teaching practices. The article does this by referencing research in which Grade 6 mathematics teachers employ assessment for learning to improve the quality of mathematics teaching and learning. For this purpose, interviews, non-participant observations and document analysis were used from selected teachers to understand teachers’ beliefs about assessment for learning and actual classroom practices. The non-participant observation was conducted in classrooms of different primary schools. Nine mathematics teachers were conveniently sampled from township primary schools in Gauteng as the study participants. The study’s findings revealed that teacher-centred assessment approaches still dominate mathematics classrooms. Furthermore, it could be deduced that mathematics teachers have classroom assessment challenges that hinder the promotion of learner diversity as it relates to assessment practices. Therefore, the study provides an understanding of the role of a teacher in responding to learner needs and academic development in mathematics through assessment for learning.Contribution: The research contributes to primary school mathematics teaching by focusing on the practical undertaking of assessment for learning and its relevance in meeting the diverse needs of learners.
