The idea of a personalized approach has been around for many centuries, but it is in recent years that this concept has become widely introduced into the learning process and widely discussed in the scientific and pedagogical community, as modern technologies have made it possible to offer truly individualized education on a large scale. The article examines the various definitions of personalization developed by academic theorists and researchers, which vary depending on their understanding of personality and how “personality” relates to teaching and learning. The author also describes the main characteristics of the personalized approach and its differences from the individualized and differentiated approach. Particular attention is paid to the development of the personalized approach in education, starting from ancient times. The article provides the results of a survey with students’ opinion of personalized approach in education.
