One of the significant features of education is the recognition of the great differences among children. Individual differences among people have been recognized for centuries. The early Greek scholars recognized individual differences in intelligence, temperament, interest and physical traits. Individual differences also involve the rate of physical growth, mental capacity of development, strength of emotions, quickness of thought, reaction time and the ability of individuals to respond to types of social conditions. Furthermore, individual differences among human beings may be inborn or acquired. Some acquired differences which education plays accountable such endowing human beings to their interest, ideals, conduct, character, habits and the like.
Knowing that each child is unique, it is therefore unjust to treat such individuals as though they are alike. Each particular pupil is a distinct personality.
Most importantly, knowledge of a teacher to improve education is to essentially recognize and understands the nature of individual differences.
