The Covid pandemic has caused massive disruption in the education system. The consequences for the education of the next generation are now clearly visible: a decline in learning performance, problems in psycho-social development and a deterioration in physical condition. Although all children and young people are affected, those from educationally deprived backgrounds fall behind the most. All this characterizes the Covid Generation. Educational inequity is on the rise and an educational catastrophe is looming. As important as this look back is, it is crucial to look forward. This vital book addresses the future of the Covid Generation by exploring its central issues, such as: What must be done to educate the Covid Generation in the best possible way? What concepts are there from an educational science perspective? What are the lessons learned from the Covid pandemic that will continue to be important for the education system in the future? What new teaching and learning structures need to be created? How can we strengthen student and teacher resilience? Based on an empirical survey of the well-being and educational attainment of the Covid Generation, concepts and ideas are presented to support and develop the Covid Generation of students, to rethink the education system, and to overcome the educational climate crisis and to enable a fresh start.

For many, digitalization is the key to revolutionizing education. But what do we know about its impact on the learning process? What benefits are on offer and what are the risks? What are the consequences for educational interventions? Putting Learning Before Technology! discusses these questions and more in a thorough exploration of the use of technology in educational settings. Central to the author's argument is that digitalization as a sole and structural measure will bring little benefit and that the teachers who bring lessons to life are much more important. Features of the book include: evidence from Visible Learning research to scientifically frame the effectiveness and pitfalls of technology in the classroom; real-life classroom examples; graphics to clearly illustrate key concepts and studies. This book is a fascinating analysis of the impact, possibilities, and limits of the use of technology within education, and will appeal to teachers and teacher-trainers in any setting or country.

Feedback from students to teachers has been shown to have a major influence on students' achievement. Although the use of feedback from students requires little time and investment, the exploration of this topic in recent years has focused primarily on that from teacher-to-student or teacher-to-teacher. This innovative book examines the much-neglected feedback path from student to teacher and provides an empirically founded and practice-oriented step-by-step guide for teachers who want to get feedback on their own teaching. Including a foreword by John Hattie, the authors shed light on the benefits, challenges, impact and academic discussion of student feedback. Topics include: an outline of the current state of research about feedback, including in the light of Visible Learning, and the essentials for translating this research into implementation in the classroom; the advantages of student-to-teacher feedback and how it is connected to good, effective teaching; the practicalities of putting student feedback into practice: finding the right questions to ask, professional discussion, and how to go about applying changes to your teaching; an exploration of combining digital technologies with the acquisition and evaluation of student feedback; the wider impact of feedback and how a "feedback culture" can transform not only individual teachers but whole schools. Using Student Feedback for Successful Teaching is an essential guide for experienced and newly-qualified teachers alike who are invested in their professional development and who strive to deliver the best quality teaching for their students.

Visible Learning Insights presents a fascinating 'inside view' of the ground-breaking research of John Hattie. Together, the authors John Hattie and Klaus Zierer embark on a mission to build on the internationally renowned work and combine the power and authority of the research with the real 'coal face' experience of schools. Offering a concise introduction into the 'Visible Learning Story', the book provides busy teachers with a guide to why the Visible Learning research is so vital and the difference it can make to learning outcomes. It includes: An in-depth dialogue between John Hattie and Klaus Zierer. Clearly structured chapters that focus on the core messages of 'Visible Learning' and infer practical consequences for the everyday job of teaching. FAQs to Visible Learning that provide an invaluable introduction to the language of learning and success in schools. An overview of the current data set with over 1,400 meta-analyses. Intended for teachers, teacher students, education researchers, parents, and all who are interested in successful learning, teaching, and schooling, this short and elegant introduction outlines just what is required to translate Hattie's research into improved school performance.

Mobilitat ist aus unserem Leben nicht wegzudenken. Mobilitat bedeutet Un- hangigkeit und Individualitat. Wer nicht mobil ist, bleibt in seinem Handlun- spielraum letztlich beschrankt, denn ohne Mobilitat ist die Teilhabe am gese- schaftlichen und beruflichen Leben heute nur sehr schwer moglich. Doch genau sie ist im Wandel begriffen. Vielerorts wird uber die Zukunft der Mobilitat - sprochen und im offentlichen Diskurs werden verschiedenste Szenarien und Losungen erortert: Bereits im Jahr 2000 war innerhalb der Weltausstellung in Hannover ein Themenpark Mobilitat" zu finden. Immer mehr Wirtschaftsunt- nehmen u. a. aus den Branchen Verkehr und Energieversorgung stellen konkrete Forschungen fur ein Zeitalter nach dem Ol" an. Der Deutsche Industrie- und Handelskammertag (DIHK) hat sich 2009 Mobilitat ist Zukunft" zum Jahr- thema gemacht. Und auf der Internationalen Automobilausstellung 2009 in Frankfurt a. M. initiiert die Wochenzeitung Die Zeit" den Zukunftsgipfel Mo- litat. Dies sind nur einige wenige Beispiele des Engagements aus der Bundes- publik. Es muss etwas getan werden," heisst es allerorts - gegen die uberlasteten Strassen und Autobahnen, gegen den unendlichen Stau, gegen die Unpunktli- keit und hohen Preise bei Bahn und offentlichem Nahverkehr, gegen die emis- onsbelastete Luft in den Stadten, gegen den Verkehrslarm, gegen den Verkeh- kollaps schlechthin. Es soll alles schneller, sauberer und billiger werden. Bes- ders eklatant tritt das Mobilitatsproblem in Grossstadten auf, wo der Raum - grenzt und die Bevolkerungsdichte hoch ist."
