Variability and Implications for Educators

Former beliefs of learner characteristics
Variability is a liability

Education could improve learner abilities but not brain and genes
Learners were limited to their biological composition (brains and genes)

labeled - intelligent, average, dull

Variability
Combination of strengths and challenges that a learner is made up of.

Recognition Networks

The environment is comprised of predictable patterns.
Facilitate recognition of higher-order information

Patterns

individual aspects of patterns, such as their color, shape, orientation, or motion are processed by separate parts of recognition networks.

What the learner sees, hears, smells, tastes, and touches

Context

Experience

Background

Varies from person to person

Systematic variability is anticipated from the outset.
