Visible Learning for Science, Grades K-12: What Works Best to Optimize Student Learning

John T. Almarode

Inquiry, laboratory, project-based learning, discovery learning--which science instructional approach is most effective? In Visible Learning for Science, the authors reveal that it's not which strategy, but when, 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 John Hattie's cornerstone educational research, this book empowers you to plan, develop, and implement high-impact instruction at each phase so all students demonstrate more than a year's worth of learning for every year in school.

Praise for this book

"Visible Learning for Science is a great science methods text with its many, many great examples and excellent inclusion of research. I would definitely use this book in the classroom!"

--Dr. Rita Hagevik, Associate Professor and Graduate Director of Science Education, University of North Carolina at Pembroke (12/11/2017 12:00:00 AM)

"The authors have written a book with research to support that various learning techniques are effective at different times. Its lack of 'an all or nothing' approach truly impresses. This book reminds teachers to make relevance obvious when teaching science standards and that mistakes are necessary for learning to occur. It is so relevant in today's school climate and is an easy read for busy teachers who are trying to do the best they can for their students."

--Mandy Frantti, Teacher, Munising Public Schools (12/11/2017 12:00:00 AM)
