"In 2008, I published my book
Visible Learning, which aimed to explain what
works best to help student learning. At the time, others claimed it was the
world’s largest evidence-based study into the factors that improve learning.
The book was based on 800 meta-analyses (a statistical analysis that combines
the results of multiple studies) of 50,000 smaller studies. It found that,
among six groups of factors influencing successful learning in schools - the
student, home, school, teacher, curricula and teaching – teachers seemed to
have the strongest in-school effect.
Since 2008, our partners have implemented the “visible learning” approach in
more than 10,000 schools, with the aim of making student learning as visible as
possible.
This means enabling students to see how their efforts and learning strategies
are contributing to their learning, and teachers to see the impact of their
teaching through the eyes of their students. It turns the focus from teaching
to learning, and from talking about teaching methods to the impact of these
methods.
This is crucial to making classrooms and schools safe, fair and inviting places
to fail, learn, collaborate, grow and flourish."
