Teachers are among the most powerful influences in learning.Visible learning for teachers is based on these signposts. In visible learning (2008) Hattie gave six signposts towards excellence in education. excellent teacher must be vigilant to what is working and what is not working in the classroom.” Hattie is very clear, if you change your way of teaching, you should measure the effect of on student learning. And the ‘very bad’ student must have learned as much, even though he/she might not have reached the end level. Very ‘good’ students should also evolve in learning, maybe beyond the official end goal mentioned. How the student has evolved in his learning, is. Grades and reaching end goals are not the main measurements. Hattie states that the effect of teaching can only be measured by the impact it had on student learning. I hope it will inspire you to also read his book, as he gives specific input to teachers about how to improve learning (not teaching). In this blog I will give some of the main points that stuck with me, mainly from the first chapters. My conceptual model for teaching in higher education is heavily influenced by his research (and that of John Biggs). While reading this book, I’ve written a document of 9 pages with quotes and interesting facts and results. In 2012 he published visible learning for teachers, where he gives input for teachers to become expert teachers.
John Hattie is known for his book Visible learning (2008), a synthesis of more than 800 meta-studies about learning and teaching.
