An inquiry into Differentiated Instruction should begin with a clear understanding of how a differentiated classroom differs from a traditional one. The biggest difference is that a differentiated classroom is student centered rather than teacher directed so that materials, instruction and activities all occur at the appropriate pace and level for each student individually.

An inquiry into Differentiated Instruction should begin with a clear understanding of how a differentiated classroom differs from a traditional one. The biggest difference is that a differentiated classroom is student centered rather than teacher directed so that materials, instruction and activities all occur at the appropriate pace and level for each student individually.
To formulate a research inquiry into differentiated instruction, consider questions that might arise involving the benefit to students or how one goes about effectively using differentiated instruction. A question inquiring about how a teacher manages the classroom in order to differentiate instruction or about ways that differentiated instruction improves the learning experience of students would be appropriate.
Once you have decided on an area of differentiation to inquire about, research the educational literature and peer reviewed articles available to be sure that there are still avenues to research regarding it. If the educational journals are saturated with material regarding the topic, then you may find it difficult to find anything relevant to add to the body of information about it. Attempt to locate another slant on the topic to investigate such as researching a specific differentiation subgroup or learning structure to investigate.
