A propos de cet article

Paperback. In Visible Learning for Science, the authors reveal that it's not about which strategy to use, but when to use it, and plot a vital K-12 framework for choosing the right approach at the right time, depending on where students are within the three phases of learning: surface, deep, and transfer. Synthesizing state-of-the-art science instruction and assessment with over fifteen years of John Hattie's cornerstone educational research, this framework for maximum learning spans the range of topics in the life and physical sciences. Employing classroom examples from all grade levels, the authors empower teachers to plan, develop, and implement high-impact instruction for each phase of the learning cycle. This book guides teachers to the right instructional approach to use at each learning phase so all students demonstrate more than a years worth of science learning per school year.
