INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCE

  • Individual differences refer to the variations in psychological characteristics that distinguish one person from another. 

  • It acknowledges that no two learners are exactly alike and their unique qualities, abilities, and needs profoundly impact how they learn and develop.

Causes of individual differences

  • Heredity: Genetic factors inherited from parents influence a child's potential range for traits like intelligence, physical characteristics, and temperament.

  • Environment: The environment encompasses a wide range of influences, including family background (parenting styles, home environment), school experiences (teaching quality, curriculum), cultural context (values, beliefs, traditions), socioeconomic conditions, peer interactions, and access to resources.

  • Age and Maturation: As individuals develop, they undergo physical, cognitive, and socioemotional changes that contribute to individual difference

  • Experience and Learning: Every individual's unique experiences and learning opportunities further shape their abilities, skills, interests, and perspectives.

  • Self: An individual's unique constitution of self, including their personality and emotional responses, also contributes to their differences, even among siblings raised in the same environment.
