What is Customized Study Plan?
1. Personalised study plans are exactly what they sound like — a plan for academic success individually tailored to a student, either for standardized testing or over the course of a school year.
2. Personalized study plans (let’s call them PSPs) are usually student directed in collaboration with teachers, parents, and tutors, and can help to improve performance in many ways.
3. Personalized study plans allow students to assess their current abilities, think about future goals and how to reach them, and take ownership in creating their learning environment.
5 Reasons Personalized Study plans are effective:
1. PSPs utilize a student’s learning style:
To help determine learning preference, students should consider which classes or assignments they’ve excelled at, or which concepts they had trouble understanding until they approached it through a different method.
2. PSPs tap into student motivation:
Students should take time to assess which approaches are hardest or easiest for them and use that to identify the best way to stay motivated and then, incorporate that into the plan.
3. PSPs help define goals:
Personalized study plans can streamline the study process by asking students to think about their end goals and focus their efforts on achieving them. PSPs can also work effectively across disciplines to help students choose the best combination of classes or do interdisciplinary projects that align with their interests.
4. PSPs allow progress tracking and improvement assessment: PSPs can also be helpful as a supplement to grades and allow students to see improvement even between assignments. Students can track their more qualitative goals of understanding or see progress in other terms, like hours spent or vocabulary learned.
5. PSPs help guide communication:
Personalized study plans allow students to assess their current abilities, think about future goals and how to reach them, and take ownership in creating their learning environment. Parents, teachers, tutors and students can all benefit and coordinate to help students achieve their goals by creating one together.
Framework for Personalised Study Plan creation:
1. General Structure of study planning framework
1. This framework allows any learner to tailor a desired study program by adapting the modularized curriculum structure and to choose the suitable learning strategy for each study course5,6.
2. To fulfil a personalized study planning framework, a Study Planning System (SPS) as a prototype4 has been developed according to the personalized study planning framework.
3. Based on the graph G2(V2, Q2) this prototype allows individually to visualize and design the study plan according to the graph G1(V1, Q1) as well as the choice of a study course.
4. Input of learning objects is provided if the graph for representing learning objects G4(V4, Q4) is not visually represented in the prototype.
5. Study Planning System prototype does not implement the graph for presenting course topics with a concept map G3(V3, Q3).
2. Concept maps of course topics
Concept maps can be helpful in the study process and when evaluating knowledge8,10. Because they laconic reflect all acquired concepts to learner.
Concept maps can be displayed in several levels: small concept map for displaying a single study course, a large concept map for displaying the whole study program. With the help of the concept maps it is possible to demonstrate the concept cross links. The hierarchical arrangement of the concept maps demonstrates the learning sequence of the concepts.

Conclusion:
Customized study plans offer targeted learning, efficient time management, motivation and engagement. If a student fails in Test, he/she will be allocated worksheet accordingly. This helps him/her to strengthen his/her weaker area, build concepts thoroughly and learning on his own pace.
