Chapter 10 – Evidence Based Teaching Geoff Petty Nelson Thornes

Effect Size Summary

• A teaching method with an effect size of 0.5 gives a one grade leap.

• A teaching method with an effect size of 1.0 gives a two grade leap.

• Changing anything gives a small effect size, probably because it increases engagement and motivation !

Graphic Organisers? – Chapter 10

• Little awareness• Large effect size 1.2 – 1.3 2 grades +

• Useful as a revision tool• Differentiation

Types of Graphic Organisers• Illustrative• Mind maps

– Atomistic– Tree– Target

• Venn Diagrams• Comparison• Continuum lines – time lines• Principals diagrams• Story Board• Flow Diagram – cycles; decision trees.

Comparison

Continuum – time lines

• Processes• Timelines• Self evaluation of progress against

objectives

Principals – Hot particles rise

•Reasons why…eg Smoke Rises

•Reasons why…

eg Air above a heater

•Reasons why…

eg Heating soup in a

pan

Story Board

• Processes • Changes in state• Chemical reactions• Infection of a micro-organism

Flow Diagrams – cycles; decision trees

The next step

• Incorporation into planning – routinely.• Revisit the book and use more complex

diagrams.• Ensure I receive feedback.• Identify a further part of the book that

will help me.
