John Hattie
Overview of Visible LearningResult of 15 years’ research and synthesises
over 800 meta-analyses relating to the influences on achievement in school-aged students
Identifies 138 influences on learning
Meta-Analyses results provide a “standard” from which to judge effects
It is a comparison based on typical, real-world effects rather than based on the strongest cause possible, or with the weakest cause imaginable.
Meta-Analyses Based on Six Major Contributors to Learning:
Contribution # of Studies
Student 11,101
Home 2,211
Schools 4,150
Teacher 2,225
Curricula 7,102
Teaching 25,860
TOTAL 52,649
Meta-Analyses Based on Six Major Contributors to Learning:
Contribution
Student • Prior knowledge of learning• Expectations• Degree of openness to
experiences• Emerging beliefs about the
value and worth to them from investing in learning• Engagement• Ability to build a sense of
self from engagement in learning
Scale

Standard Deviation
1 Standard Deviation• Students do better than 84% of students
not in that initiative• Typically represent 2 years growth in one
year
