Procedural Justice in A Classroom Where Teacher Implements Differentiated Instruction

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Moral Development and Citizenship Education ((MORA,volume 6))

Abstract

Students learn in a variety of ways and have different potentials, interests and needs. To meet the needs of a diverse student population, teachers implement ‘differentiated instruction.’ Tomlinson et al. (2003), defined differentiated instruction as “an approach to teaching in which teachers proactively modify teaching methods, resources, learning activities, and student products to address the diverse needs of individual candidates and small groups of candidates to maximize the learning opportunity for each student in the classroom” (p. 120).
