John Hattie announces that "Visible Learning: The Sequel is published this month. It is informed by more than 2,100 meta-analyses about achievement drawn from more than 130,000 studies and conducted with the participation of more than 400 million students," though of course a lot depends on what you're measuring and how you measure it. You'll have to pay money to read the book, though this article provides some useful highlights. Factors that improve students' performance include "computer tutoring that provides immediate feedback, particularly when using artificial intelligence", and "flipped learning, whereby students are given the content to learn before coming to class," among other strategies. As always, to my mind, the key question concerns what counts as 'student performance' - we want to support the full range of educational outcomes, and these often extend well beyond the content knowledge being taught in class.
