When the original Visible Learning published in 2008 it instantly
became a publishing sensation. Interest in the book was
unparalleled; it sold out in days and was described by the TES as
revealing 'teaching's Holy Grail'. Now John Hattie returns to this
ground-breaking work. The research underlying this book is now
informed by more than 2,100 meta-analyses (more than double that of
the original), drawn from more than 130,000 studies and involving
more than 400 million students from all around the world. But this
is more than just a new edition. This book is a sequel that
highlights the major story, taking in the big picture to reflect on
the implementation in schools of Visible Learning, how it has been
understood - and at times misunderstood - and what future
directions research should take. Visible Learning: The Sequel
reiterates the author's desire to move beyond claiming "what works"
to "what works best" by asking crucial questions such as: Why is
the current 'grammar of schooling', so embedded in so many
classrooms and can we improve it? Why is the learning curve for
teachers after the first few years so flat? How can we develop
teacher mind-frames to focus more on learning and listening? How
can we incorporate research evidence as part of the discussions
within schools? Areas covered include: * The evidence base and
reactions to Visible Learning * The Visible Learning model * The
intentional alignment of learning and teaching strategies * The
influence of home, students, teachers, classrooms, schools,
learning and curriculum on achievement * The impact of technology
Building upon the success of original, this highly anticipated
sequel expands Hattie's model of teaching and learning based on
evidence of impact and is essential reading for anyone involved in
the field of education either as a researcher, teacher, student,
school leader, teacher trainer or policy maker.
