Research Trend in the Practice of Differentiated Instruction

Abstract

This article employed secondary data to critically examine policies, mission and vision of a private mission university in line with fundamental human rights and the safety of students. The high rate of violence and criminal activities across Nigeria seems to have given credence to such policies in as much as such policies emphasize students" safety and development. Therefore, academic freedom and students" fundamental human rights should be exercise within the policies designed to ensure students safety and development. In the past and in recent times, studies have explored several areas of student safety and development, most especially in developed nations where priority is placed on student affairs administration, but such efforts are yet to be examined in the literature emanating from Nigeria despite several criticism against the policies of the university. Contrary to the belief of many critics, violation of fundamental human rights does not exist in the university under study; instead, stringent policies and procedures attached to the actualization or implementation of such policies are in existence to safeguard students" safety and development. The study argued that the failure of some students to comply with the procedures attached to these policies seem to have created a scenario of violation which critics contend with. Thus, a stern look at these policies and their applicability to students" matters would have been better understood and appreciated instead of condemnation. However, the paper argued that implementation of policies should be exercised with caution, largely because disciplinary power is a sensitive issue and those exercising it must do so with thoughtfulness and in absolute good faith and in accordance with the rule of law.

A Systematic Review on Bilingualism and Language Processing from 2015-2019

“…Additionally, there is a lack of studies conducted on participants from the young adult age group as demonstrated in the findings. Besides that, researchers can now be aware of how methodological variations can affect performance and in doing so re-evaluate or incorporate a more coherent and controlled approach such as eye-tracking (Hasrul, Hazita & Azizah, 2018;Sarah Yusri & Soh, 2019). Lastly, we have concluded the lack of studies done in Malaysia pens a huge gap in which more research can be done in order to fill in that gap.…”

Bibliometric Analysis of Research Developments on Differentiated Instruction

“…Bibliometric research related to DI has been conducted by scholars (AM et al, 2023;Dal & Abu, 2023;Kamarulzaman et al, 2018;Shareefa & Moosa, 2020;Sun & Xiao, 2021;Wei et al, 2022). Bibliometric research on existing DI certainly differs from this study.…”

“…The United States had the most research related to DI. Other research findings on bibliometric DI also stated that the USA had the most distribution of articles about the DI (AM et al, 2023;Dal & Abu, 2023;Kamarulzaman et al, 2018;Shareefa & Moosa, 2020;Sun & Xiao, 2021). The United States is the country that is most aggressively conducting differentiated learning because there is a policy that every school in the US must be able to show that children can use their minds well so that they are ready to be good citizens, ready to enter higher education, and also ready for productive jobs in the modern economy so that this is a challenge for every teacher and researcher to do learning with students who more diversity (Hogan, 2014).…”
