What works in education – Hattie’s list of the greatest effects and why it matters

What works in education – Hattie’s list of the greatest effects and why it matters
I have been a fan of John Hattie’s work ever since I encountered Visible Learning. Hattie has done the most exhaustive meta-analysis in education. Thanks to him, we can gauge not only the relative effectiveness of almost every educational intervention under the sun but we can compare these interventions on an absolute scale of effect size. Perhaps most importantly, Hattie was able to identify a ‘hinge point’ (as he calls it) from exhaustively comparing everything: the effect size of .40. The caveat in any meta-anlysis, of course, is that we have little idea as to the validity of the underlying research. Fans of the book may be unaware that a brand new Hattie book has just been released entitled Visible Learning for Teachers: Maximizing Impact on Learning. As in Visible Learning, the (updated) rank order of those factors that have the greatest effect size in student achievement will be of interest to every teacher, administrator, and education professor.

Debate educativo en base a las evidencias El debate educativo en España no destaca precisamente por su calidad. La mayoría de los análisis en la prensa suelen estar basados en meras opiniones personales y evidencia anecdótica y, en el mejor de los casos, en una interpretación del informe PISA que considera casi exclusivamente el ranking por países. Es cierto que España no ocupa un lugar destacado, pero nuestro objetivo en esta entrada será tratar de convencer al lector de que un análisis adecuado de los datos indica que el sistema educativo español no es un desastre ni mucho menos y que en algunos aspectos está incluso por encima de la media de la OCDE. Para acabar insistiremos en la necesidad de una legislación y unas prácticas educativas en base a la evidencia. Empecemos por el principio: ¿Qué es y qué mide PISA? Casi nadie duda de la robustez de la metodología de PISA y ni siquiera de sus resultados. Los resultados de España Interpretación o de estadísticamente significativo y otras hierbas La inercia de la historia

Making Thinking Visible – Headlines Routine Project Zero, an educational research group at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education, has been working to enhance student learning, thinking and creativity since the 1960s. Founded by the philosopher Nelson Goodman it’s impacted global education and been guided by such education luminaries as Howard Gardner and David Perkins. Utilizing it’s core concepts and adding a dash of Socrative will bolster student reflection, critical thinking, and creativity while developing independent learners for the 21st century. Let’s Dig In! What are Visible Thinking Routines? At the core of Visible Thinking are practices that help make thinking visible:Thinking Routines loosely guide learners’ thought processes and encourage active processing. Visible Thinking Routine 1 – HEADLINES This routine draws on the idea of newspaper-type headlines as a vehicle for summing up and capturing the essence of an event, idea, concept, topic, etc. Activity Flow with Socrative

John Hattie's Eight Mind Frames For Teachers “Hattie’s 8 Mind frames”. Video scribe project by Cheryl Reynolds. In Visible Learning for Teachers (p. 159 ff) John Hattie claims that “the major argument in this book underlying powerful impacts in our schools relates to how we think! During the summer holidays we stumbled upon a great video made by Cheryl Reynolds, a senior lecturer at the University of Huddersfield. My fundamental task is to evaluate the effect of my teaching on students’ learning and achievement.The success and failure of my students’ learning is about what I do or don’t do.
