Abstract:

This article explores personalization of learning as a strategy to help students who are failing, based on their individual preferences. By identifying learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic), it highlights the importance of an adapted approach to meet the specific needs of each student. A personalized learning model is presented, emphasizing flexibility, engagement, and the use of technology to support learning. The article suggests concrete strategies, personalized tutoring and the formation of adapted learning groups. It also presents a case study that illustrates the effectiveness of these approaches. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of continuous assessment and feedback to adjust pedagogical approaches, the importance of regularly assessing student progress and collecting feedback to adjust methods, thus encouraging educators to adopt more personalized practices in order to promote the academic success of students in difficulty

KeyWords:
