Resumo

Este estudo investigou a confiabilidade de aprendizagem personalizada do Tell Me More (TMM) (ou seja, a extensão em que dois alunos hipotéticos idênticos recebem o mesmo nível de apoio instrucional e de aprendizagem ao usar um material didático) dentro da estrutura dinâmica de Tetzlaff, Schmiedek e Brod (2020) em que a aprendizagem personalizada é considerada a mais confiável e eficaz quando as características dos alunos são avaliadas dinamicamente durante o processo de aprendizagem e as instruções são fornecidas a eles de acordo. As aulas, workshops e atividades do modo Dinâmico do TMM foram analisados qualitativamente e os resultados revelaram que para que o TMM proporcione uma aprendizagem personalizada confiável, ele deve ser equipado com um teste de nivelamento no início do curso e uma tecnologia de avaliação dinâmica constante ao longo do processo de aprendizagem. Depender de atividades adaptativas escolhidas de forma não sistemática pelos próprios alunos não é confiável, pois a maioria dos alunos não é capaz de estimar profissionalmente seu próprio nível de proficiência no idioma, nem são treinados para determinar o nível necessário de dificuldade da tarefa para suas atividades. Os resultados têm implicações para que os designers de material didático considerem os testes de colocação e a tecnologia de avaliação dinâmica em seus projetos futuros para maximizar a confiabilidade de seus programas de aprendizagem personalizados.
