From this point of view, adapting the educational experience consists of adjusting to the pace and learning style of each student to improve academic performance and promote more efficient and attractive teaching. Bernard Goff, CEO of the education and technology company Jovens Gênios, explains it.

“Personalization in education is not a new idea, but current technological tools have allowed significant advances in this field. The use of digital platforms, artificial intelligence and data analysis are some of the resources that allow more adaptive teaching focused on the specific needs of each one. student,” says Café.

The expert cites artificial intelligence applications that provide personalized advice and feedback. According to him, learning management software (LMS) also stands out because it facilitates the organization of personalized curricula, segmentation and division of content per student.

“These tools allow for student-centered teaching and to understand that they also have knowledge, better addressing their abilities and contributing to the teaching-learning process,” he explains.

To illustrate the concept, Caffé cites the example of a platform created by Jovan's Genios, which uses advanced algorithms to analyze student performance in real time. From there, the activities and content are adjusted to the learning pace of each individual.

“It is particularly relevant in contexts of cultural, social and economic diversity, where standardization may not meet the specific needs of different groups,” explains Caffé.

“In addition, by adapting teaching to individual needs, schools can significantly improve learning outcomes, encourage greater student participation and reduce dropout rates, thus contributing to a more effective education system,” says the expert. .

However, he recognizes that digital content – ​​which promotes this type of personalized education – continues to be a challenge for Brazil. In the country, 62% of public schools use the Internet for teaching activities, and only 29% have equipment for students.

Furthermore, connection speed is considered adequate in only 11% of schools, according to research revealed in a summary of Internet quality in Brazilian public schools published by the Ponto BR Information and Coordination Center.

The expert highlights that a successful transition towards a personalized educational model requires investment and a paradigm shift in teaching.

“Despite the obstacles, personalized education represents a significant evolution in the field of education, offering a more student-centered and effective approach,” Caffé believes.
