How can Visible Learning (VL) enrich the experiences of your customers?

Visible learning is a John Hattie research based approach to improving student outcomes in classrooms throughout the world. Originating in New Zealand, his research and philosophies are renowned for the extensive student research with over 3 million students influencing his findings. From the 100 most influential ways students learn to setting learning outcomes and predetermining success criteria through to a positive growth mindset and positive learning traits for assessing success. This is a very powerful tool integrated within Outdoor Education programs.

The student impact is extreme,
Improved personal achievement,
Goal setting linked directly to success criteria for greater impact on practice
Analysis of performance and improved understanding of technique
Collaborative learning, self and peer assessment
Deep reflective opportunities to grow a strong mindset
Target and understand learning traits to improve ownership of training and effort
Empowered self-belief
These are all achievable within Outdoor Education programs with a VL approach.

The upskill to the staff is also significant.
In Hattie’s words: “200 questions are asked every day by teachers, 95% of the time the teacher knows the student will know the answer to the question. Where is the challenge? Where is the stimulation?” Staff reflection and continual improvement is also paramount to student engagement and performance. The Department of Education in the Northern Territory has mandated the Visible Learning Approach and the benefits have been overwhelming. How has it been integrated into the Education’s Department’s own Outdoor Ed Camp? See for yourself.
