RESEARCH: How Do You Know When A Teaching Strategy Is Most Effective? John Hattie Has An Idea
I'm not a massive Hattie fan because 1. He is trained as an economist, 2. people assume the effect sizes are to be followed quite literally. That said, he has certainly done impressive work and it is nice to see him expanding the frame of the research here:.
Different teaching strategies may be effective at different stages of the learning cycle suggests @john_hattie https://t.co/02pJNRgaq8 #edchat #teachchat #cpchat by @Kschwart

Some quotes:
But in their Science of Learning article, “Learning strategies: a synthesis and conceptual model,” Hattie and Donoghue note that the underlying philosophy of the day-to-day activity of many schools indicates that the “purpose of schooling is to equip students with learning strategies, or the skills of learning how to learn.” Hattie is more concerned with this later definition than of the more narrowly defined achievement, which is why he has attempted to come up with a model of learning that takes into account students’ skills and knowledge, learning dispositions and motivation.
Hattie thinks of the three inputs students bring to learning as “skill, will, and thrill.” And, while what a student already knows may be one of the most important parts of academic achievement, learning dispositions and motivation are also crucial ingredients and worthy goals in and of themselves.
“In fact, if we can increase their sense of love of learning, the thrill, we can increase their sense of self,” Hattie said. In other words, skill, will and thrill, the three inputs students all have, sometimes work in harmony, but even when that doesn’t happen each aspect of a student is worth developing individually, too.
