John Hattie developed a way of synthesizing various influences in different meta-analyses according to their effect size (Cohen’s d). In his ground-breaking study “Visible Learning” he found that the average effect size of all the interventions he studied was 0.40.

Therefore, he decided to judge the success of influences relative to this ‘hinge point’, in order to find an answer to the question

Ready to set your students (or teachers) up for learning success? Checkout these three powerful strategies:
First, the Jigsaw Method (d=1.20) to analyze multiple chunks of content and discuss them analytically.
Second, use a Classroom Discussion (d=0.82) strategy to assist students gain a deeper conceptual understanding.
Third, Problem-Solving Teaching (d=0.67) to achieve transfer learning.
