John Hattie created a chart to demonstrate the effectiveness of teaching tools on student learning. Every method over 0.4 had a positive effect on learning, but some were more effective than others.
"An effect size of "1" indicates that a particular approach to teaching or technique advanced the learning of the students in the study by one standard deviation above the mean."
Feedback was at the top of his list with an effect size of 1.13. Computer assisted instructions (such as power point) was valued as .31 positive effect, while Audio/Visual aids (DVD clips/video feedback etc) were valued at .16. I will continue to look into research on the use of ICT in education and this may lead me to expand on my proposed topic? Please see link below for Hattie's graph/effect sizes.

ReplyDeleteWill Hatties research be one that you will analyse to inform your inquiry plan? Please look at tutor blogs and comment about the plan that will come after you do your ethics and literature. 2 forms are up on the libguide under Module 2 for Wards and ethics and Employer support signature.
comment on my blog to say how you are getting on... cheers
