Principles of Individual Differences: Presenter: YBONNE C. IBAÑEZ, Teacher I

Individual differences refer to variations among individuals in terms of characteristics like interests, attitudes, values, study habits, and psychomotor skills. Some key factors that influence individual differences include environment, race/nationality, sex, age, and education. The implications for education include designing a curriculum tailored to students' varying abilities and interests, using different teaching methods suited to individual learning styles and needs, and grouping students based on their overall maturity rather than just mental age. Teachers should consider individual differences in assigning activities and using teaching aids to engage students according to their interests.

other.
Difference in Attitude

Few learners have positive attitude towards a specific
topic, subject, and profession than other. The role of
education in society is to develop positive attitude.
Difference in Values
Values are the things that are given importance by an
individual. Some learners value materialist life style other
moral or religious life style etc. So education must mould
the mind of young generation to have a balance values
between materialism and spiritualism.
Study Habits

markedly differ from other students in study
habits. Some students are studious and study all
the subjects with interest but other may not. Some
study in isolation and some in group.
Difference in Psychomotor Skills
Psychomotor Skill is related to some skill acquisition. Some students
differ in this area also. Some students like football, other cricket, etc.
Some students easily learn operating a machine and some may not. A
wise teacher should diagnose students’ psychomotor skills abilities and
encourage them in that direction.

Difference in self concept is the totality of attitudes, judgment, and
values of an individual relating to his behavior, abilities, and
qualities. So, some students have positive self concept than boost
their confidence level and perform better against those who have
negative self image.
