Personalized learning allows students to pursue individual learning goals at their own pace. Such a benefit is achieved by understanding each individual’s needs. Hence, it is important to implement personalized learning to accommodate students’ individual differences. Due to such importance, research into this issue has increased over the past decade. Accordingly, this paper presents a state-of-the art review of the current research that investigates relationships between individual differences and personalized learning. The main results from past research include that: (1) learning style is a major individual difference considered in works on personalized learning; (2) current works shift to address multiple individual differences, instead of a single difference; (3) learner models are widely applied to deal with multiple individual differences in the development of personalized learning; (4) learning styles, prior knowledge, preferences and ability levels are frequently considered together, and (5) it is a current trend to consider emotion recognition in the context of personalized learning. In addition to reviewing existing empirical studies, this paper also does an appraisal to identify directions for future research.

个性化学习允许学生按照自己的步调追求个人学习目标。通过了解每个人的需求可以实现这种好处。因此，实施个性化学习以适应学生的个体差异非常重要。由于如此重要​​，在过去十年中，对该问题的研究有所增加。因此，本文介绍了当前研究的最新进展，该研究调查了个体差异与个性化学习之间的关系。以往研究的主要结果包括：（1）学习风格是个性化学习作品中考虑的主要个体差异；（2）当前的工作转移是为了解决多个个人差异，而不是单个差异；（3）在个性化学习发展中，学习者模型得到广泛应用，以应对多个个体差异；（4）学习风格，先验知识，偏好和能力水平经常一起考虑，并且（5）在个性化学习的背景下考虑情感识别是当前的趋势。除了回顾现有的实证研究之外，本文还进行了评估，以确定未来的研究方向。
