Visible Learning: The Sequel: A Synthesis of Over 2,100 Meta-Analyses Relating to Achievement

While you can visit the Meta-X website for a quick check on effects and rankings, this book takes a much deeper dive than the first publication and it contains additional effects that are contemporary and timely. Effects on emotional intelligence, worked examples, autism and many more provide additional evidence about enhancing the Visible Learning process.

This is a great resource that effectively summarizes the evidence. It's actionable and valuable for anyone involved in schooling. The key messages helped me think about the work that I do and how I want to shape the experiences that our teachers and students have in schools.

It has a lot of data and the ‘why’ to start off the book. Then it gets into the strategies around engagement and the effect size that strategy should have on student growth. Overall, great information and it adds more tricks to the toolbox!

The sequel is more nuanced than the first. Everything is embedded with the idea of impact.

Like the readability and format of the original, but to avoid misuse of data it was necessary.

This is awesome

Great follow up to the original research. Hattie speaks to the various criticisms of the original work and expands his research into what works in education.

Un análisis exhaustivo sobre lo que funciona y lo que no funciona en el aula. Llama la atención el efecto negativo en el aprendizaje de la clase magistral o de repetir curso o de reducir el tamaño de las aulas. Brillante

In education, not acceptable to ‘do anything’ - make sure to work with those elements providing the greatest impact and return. Hattie’s research and implementation guidelines are a must read for all educators!

recommended!

There is a wealth of information in this book, but unless you have studied statistics you can't get at it beyond the most superficial reading. It needs a "Stats for Flatfeet" (or equivalent) chapter at the beginning, where Hattie abseils down from the lofty heights and simply explains how the diagrams and tables work. We're not proud: spell it out in very short words and we'll be grateful. (Maybe someone more familiar with the humbler lower slopes of the mountain would do it better.) A free "Guide to Visible Learning" pdf is available from the Routledge website, but it doesn't explain the diagrams either. As a working teacher, I really want to learn how to do my job better. I want to know the research findings that recommendations are based on. But as a working teacher, I have limited time - and patience - with indigestible wodges of information. I need a way in.
