Digital personalization is an emerging interdisciplinary research
field, with application to a variety of areas including design,
education and publication industry. This book focuses on children's
education and literacy resources, which have undergone important
changes with the 'personalization revolution' in the early 21st
century.
The author develops original insights from educational research and
her own studies concerned with digital and non-digital
personalization, to discuss in a clear and critical way the thinking,
research issues and practical implications of this new field. She
scrutinises the character of technology-based personalized education
to substantiate the claim that the current models of personalized
education tend to be technology- and business-driven, with little
pedagogical understanding of the social value of personalization.
Research involving touchscreens, personalized books and 2-8-year olds
is interrogated for its impact on children's development of language,
creativity, identity, as well as family dynamics and classroom
dialogue. The literature available on digital and non-digital
personalization is discussed in relation to five key themes of
personalized education, the so-called 5As: autonomy, authorship,
aesthetics, attachment and authenticity. It is argued that the 5As
need to be anchored in humanist principles for a sustainable pedagogy
and practice. Based on the insights from research with typically and
atypically developing children, Kucirkova proposes _personalised
pluralisation,_ as a pedagogical framework of personalized education
for the future. The book aims to help scholars and professionals
understand the connections between personalization and literacy,
personalization and education, and personalization and wider
socio-moral issues.
