Aptitude Treatment Interaction

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aptitude-Treatment-Interaction (ATI), translated as much as ability-process-interrelation , is an approach to the instruction of learners (e.g. students). It is based on the assumption that an optimal adaptation of the teaching method to the abilities of the learner is necessary. The abilities of the students (such as arithmetic or reading) are mutually related to the teaching methods. The approach was introduced in 1977 by Lee Cronbach and Richard Snow. It is used in educational psychology as well as in the therapy of social behavior.

For the best learning effect, the teaching methods should be tailored to the requirements of the learners. For example, students with unfavorable learning conditions (e.g. high fear potential, low intelligence level) learn better in teacher-centered, highly structured lessons. If the learning conditions are favorable, however, it is better for the students to control and set the learning goals independently (e.g. discussion groups); a greater degree of freedom is more effective here.
