Abstract Personalized learning (PL) has been promoted as a major aim and reform effort across the contemporary education system. In this article, we systematically identified and synthesized 71 empirical studies associated with the implementation of PL that were conducted between 2006 and 2019. This synthesis examined the current research efforts on the PL implementation with a focus on the primary purposes, overall methodological characteristics, and associated student learning outcomes of the identified studies. Using the method of critical interpretive synthesis, we identified two overarching themes in relation to PL across various disciplines of study. The two themes included investigating (a) the role of varying technologies and (b) contextual factors that impacted the implementation of PL. However, few studies have examined the effects of PL as a whole-school initiative on student educational outcomes. We ended by discussing the issues with the conceptualization and empirical evidence of PL and providing implications for the future advancement of the field.

了解个性化学习的实施：研究综合

摘要 个性化学习 (PL) 已被推广为整个当代教育系统的主要目标和改革努力。在本文中，我们系统地确定并综合了 2006 年至 2019 年间进行的 71 项与 PL 实施相关的实证研究。 该综合研究了当前对 PL 实施的研究工作，重点关注主要目的、总体方法学特征和所确定研究的相关学生学习成果。使用批判性解释综合的方法，我们确定了与跨不同研究学科的 PL 相关的两个总体主题。这两个主题包括调查 (a) 不同技术的作用和 (b) 影响 PL 实施的背景因素。然而，很少有研究考察 PL 作为全校计划对学生教育成果的影响。我们最后讨论了 PL 的概念化和经验证据的问题，并提供了对该领域未来发展的影响。
