Structure • Starter • Effective instructional strategies: Activity 1 • Overview of some evidence based strategies • Pairwise discussion: activity 2 • Making it more complex • Applying frame of reference: activity 3
As a starter • Do you consider to be educational research being of relevant for teaching practice? • Choose a number from 0 (not at all) to 9 (extremely relevant) 0__1__2__3__4__5__6__7__8__9
Activity 1 • Individually: Map a list of 5 key didactical strategies that you consider or experienced to be effective. • Develop list on flip-over.
What “works” in education? • What has an impact on learning performance? • Direct impact • Indirect impact (motivation, attitude, self-efficacy, …). http://www.sigo.be/sok/Kwaliteit%20in%20onderwijs.pdf
Better performance Certain intervention, process, variables, … Attitude Self-efficacy Motivation Beliefs ….
Certain intervention, process, variables, … • Examples • Homework • Mind maps • Giving feedback • Web based learning • Collaborative versus individual learning
Certain intervention, process, variables, … • Examples: Strongest impact? • Homework • Mind maps • Giving feedback • Web based learning • Collaborative versus individual learning
Effect size • Significant impact of process, variable, …. • Integration research: meta-analysis • Summary measure: effect size (d). • Rule of thumb: d = >.40 is relevant impact. Hattie, J. (2009). Visible Learning: A Synthesis of over 800 Meta-Analysis relating to Achievement. Milton Park, Oxon: Routledge.
Certain intervention, process, variables, … • Examples: Strongest impact? • Homework • Mind maps • Giving feedback • Web based learning • Collaborative versus individual learning d=.29 d=.57 d=.73 d=.37 d=.59
Activity 2 • Make a “thinking pair” • Check your own “top 5” with the two tables (see print out Tables Hattie) • Discuss congruency and incongruency with colleague. • What might explains (in)congruencies?
Maar … even complexer maken • Akkoord met onderzoeken? • Bijv. Huiswerk

Making it more complex Better performance Certain intervention, process, variables, … Attitude Self-efficacy Motivation Beliefs …. Characteristics learner Characteristics teaching staff
Making it more complex • Activity 3: exemplify the frame of reference • Actors • Learner + characteristics • Teaching staff + characteristics • Didactical activity (objectives, content, media, didactical strategy, evaluation) • Context
Look at the impact .. • Evidence about: • Student characteristics • Teaching staff characteristics • Teaching strategies • Curricula • Education institution characteristics • Context
Learner characteristics • Reducinganxiety • Diet • Gender • Personality • Self-concept
Learner characteristics • Reducinganxiety (d=.40) • Diet (d=.12) • Gender (d=.12) • Personality (d=.19) • Self-concept (d=.43)
Teaching staff characteristics (gebaseerd op Hattie, 2009, p. 109)
Teaching staff characteristics • Expectations staff • Relationship staff member–student • Teacher subject matter knowledge • Not labelling students • Professional development staff (gebaseerd op Hattie, 2009, p. 109)
Discuss with partnerand select again • Expectations staff • Relationship staff member–student • Teacher subject matter knowledge • Not labelling students • Professional development staff (gebaseerd op Hattie, 2009, p. 109)
Teaching staff characteristics • Expectations staff (d=.43) • Relationship staff member–student (d=.72) • Teacher subject matter knowledge (d=.09) • Not labelling students (d=.61) • Professional development staff (d=.62) (gebaseerd op Hattie, 2009, p. 109)
Conclusions • Look for the evidence • Approach the “complex” teaching and learning setting • Consider interaction of processes/variables in different actors in the educational setting
