Abstract:

For a long time, personalized learning was applied to students in the special education category, due to personal traits that delay their learning in comparison to their peers. Bloom's well-known experiment from 1984 shows that students improve their performance when they follow a path that is unique for them.

Israel, as part of the OECD, through the Ministry of Education in the Israeli educational system (schools, universities) uses 16 fundamental indicators to diagnose gaps in personal study, in the context of final exam preparation in high school and higher education institutions (faculties, universities). The diagnosis is made by a psychologist or psychiatrist with the approval of the school and the national committee, being integrated into a learning framework that has been used for more than 150 years - a teacher in front of a class during school hours and at a set time. This system is called "One Teacher-One Class" or "One-size-fits-all", or even "Sit and get".

For many years, attention disorders have also been recognized in the general population in increasing numbers, and personalized learning has already become the common practice for improving learning. The digital age allows a leap forward by being able to create a personalized path for the learner by getting to know his personality, dreams, hobbies, interests, strengths, and weaknesses that need to be improved in order to face the challenges of the 21st century in the digital age and develop the skills necessary for lifelong learning. Today's student must learn based on what he will encounter tomorrow. All student abilities matter. The compilation of student profile data is a significant component alongside the others used regularly in the digital age, especially today, after the COVID-19 pandemic, and for the future.

The article presents the effect of defining the student's learning profile in order to create his personal learning path in the REVODUCATE system. The Personal Learning Profile paints a holistic picture of the learner at the start of their personalized learning journey. It contributes greatly to the students' ability to succeed in achieving their learning goals and is a powerful tool in the personalized approach to learning. The REVODUCATE system deviates from accepted diagnosis of external factors and regulated basic parameters of learning, such as extra time, reading, level of handwriting (legible or illegible), learning aids for those with difficulties, etc. It makes possible to listen to and prioritize the student's wishes for a suitable learning environment tailored to Generation Z, often ignored by today's teachers who are always a generation behind. Parents play an essential role in building the student's learning profile, as they are those who know the student best pre-school, during school, and later in life. Using the REVODUCATE system as a central and critical component for student success also changes the role of the teacher, and defines a new type of responsibility.
