Kunskapsskolan (translates as ''the knowledge school'') is a Swedish group of independent schools that provides education for students from grades 4 to 9 (ages 10 to 16) in elementary school. They also offer a gymnasium schools for grades 10 to 12 (ages 16 to 19) in different areas of Sweden. == General Idea == The educational idea behind Kunskapsskolan is that all students are different and that they learn at different paces and in different ways. In contrast to most of Sweden's other schools, Kunskapsskolan functions in a way that more closely resembles the system in the Swedish gymnasium and university. The schools are operated using the KED Program, a comprehensive program for personalized education. The KED Program is a way to use tools and resources in order to allow for as much personalization as possible. As a student in Kunskapsskolan, you set long term goals that you agree with your teacher and parents. The long term goals are broken down into a plan with termly and weekly goals, which are followed up during weekly coaching sessions with a teacher. In order to allow for personalization, subjects are delivered as steps or theme courses. English, Swedish, maths and modern foreign languages are studied in steps through which students can progress at their own pace and at their own level. Other subjects are delivered through theme courses where different subjects are connected by a common theme. In those courses, one studies, for example, social studies, science, and technology. The largest difference between courses and steps is that courses are set in the school schedule, with pupils working at the same time and often in groups. In the courses, the different subjects blend to create an overlapping study on a certain subject. For example, when students do a study on the world wars, they would not only cover the history but also explain the science of the period, the social changes, and the causes of the events. The key word is analysis. All steps, theme courses, materials and exercises are available through an online portal; Kunskapsporten/the Learning Portal. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kunskapsskolan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
