Dilyn-Week of March 6
What is effect size?
"Effect Size is simply a way of quantifying the effectiveness of a particular intervention, relative to some comparison. It is easy to calculate, readily understood and can be applied to any measured outcome in Education..."
In the next few weeks we will learn more about effect size and how it relates to our teaching.
Research by John Hattie
John Hattie has completed extensive work on effect size. The average or typical effect of schooling was 0.40, and this provided a benchmark figure or “standard” from which to judge the various influences on achievement, such as that of feedback. 0.40 represents one year of growth.
The highest rating of a strategy, in his research, was-Self Reported Grades. It was rated as a 1.44. Remember 0.40 is one year of growth. Here is a video of John Hattie explaining this concept.
