Overview

Sunschool’s adaptive learning system analyzes learner performance in real-time and adjusts content difficulty, recommends subjects, and identifies areas needing reinforcement.

Performance Tracking

Subject-Level Performance

The system tracks performance across all subjects:

Mastery Levels

1

Beginner

Less than 70% average or fewer than 3 lessons completed
2

Intermediate

70-84% average with at least 3 lessons completed
3

Advanced

85%+ average with at least 5 lessons completed

Identifying Struggling Areas

The system automatically detects subjects where learners need additional support:
A subject is marked as “struggling” when the learner’s average score falls below 70%. This triggers additional practice recommendations.

Subject Recommendations

Grade-Appropriate Subjects

Each grade level has a curated list of appropriate subjects:

Recommendation Algorithm

The system recommends new subjects based on multiple factors:

Subject Categories

Subjects are organized into broader categories for better organization:

Language Arts

Reading, Writing, Literature, Composition, Alphabet, Basic Vocabulary

Mathematics

Numbers, Basic Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Calculus

Science

Earth Science, Life Science, Physical Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics

Social Studies

History, World History, US History, Government, Economics, Geography

Arts

Art, Music, Drama, Painting, Drawing

Life Skills

Health, Physical Education, Social Skills, Financial Literacy

World Languages

Spanish, French, German, Mandarin, Latin

Technology

Computer Science, Programming, Digital Media, Robotics

Difficulty Adjustment

Lessons can be generated at three difficulty levels:
  • Simplified vocabulary
  • Concrete examples
  • Step-by-step explanations
  • More practice problems

Personalized Learning Paths

The adaptive system creates personalized learning paths by:
1

Analyze Performance

Review all completed lessons and quiz scores
2

Identify Gaps

Detect concepts and subjects below mastery threshold
3

Recommend Content

Suggest new lessons in struggling areas and new grade-appropriate subjects
4

Adjust Difficulty

Automatically set difficulty level based on recent performance
5

Track Progress

Continuously monitor and update mastery levels

Performance Metrics

The system tracks multiple metrics for adaptation:

Integration with Other Features

Mastery System

Detailed mastery calculations and decay

Concept Tracking

Per-concept performance analysis

Reports

Visual progress and performance reports

Best Practices for Parents

Check the reports page regularly to see which subjects need additional support. The system automatically identifies these, but parent involvement helps.
Learners should experience both challenge and success. If scores are consistently too high (>95%) or too low (<60%), consider adjusting the subject selection.
The system’s subject recommendations are based on grade-level standards and performance data. Following them helps maintain a balanced curriculum.
Use the mastery level progression (Beginner → Intermediate → Advanced) to celebrate milestones.
