ABSTRACT
The major assumption of this chapter, as well as a major assumption of this book, is that it is possible and desirable to adapt the nature of instruction to accommodate differences in ability, style, or preferences among individuals to improve learning outcomes. In the previous chapter, we discussed the following assumptions that underlie this belief:
Different learning outcomes require different skills or abilities.
Individuals differ in their abilities to process information, construct meaning from it, or apply it to new situations.
