En 2008 John Hattie, catedrático e investigador de Educación y director del Melbourne Education Research Institute, publicó Visible Learning (Aprendizaje visible). En esta obra se analizaban más de 800 metanálisis de 50.000 artículos de investigación, sobre 150.000 tamaños de efectos y sobre 240 millones de alumnos. El libro vendió más de 88.000 ejemplares en inglés y se tradujo a gran cantidad de lenguas. La obra que el lector tiene ahora en sus manos está estructurada según las grandes ideas que se extraen de ese primer libro, Aprendizaje visible, pero están presentadas en la secuencia de decisiones que los profesores deben seguir de forma metódica —preparar, comenzar, dirigir y finalizar la clase o serie de clases—. Igualmente, se basa en el más significativo descubrimiento a partir de la evidencia de Aprendizaje visible, a saber, que casi cualquier intervención podría establecer una diferencia en el aprendizaje del estudiante y es necesario conocer el impacto de cada una de ellas. “Aprendizaje visible” para profesores ha vendido más de 131.000 copias en el mercado anglosajón y ha sido igualmente traducido a gran variedad de lenguas (árabe, chino, danés, holandés, alemán, hebreo, lituano, noruego, polaco, rumano, esloveno, y sueco). Trata sobre los factores clave o atributos de las escuelas que verdaderamente marcan la diferencia en el aprendizaje de los alumnos, es decir, sobre el hecho de alcanzar como mínimo mejoras medias o por encima de la media para todos los alumnos. Será sin duda una obra de referencia para la comunidad educativa en general desde estudiantes y docentes universitarios de Ciencias de la Educación en su sentido más amplio hasta maestros en ejercicio y directivas escolares preocupados por los resultados de la práctica en las aulas de sus centros.

It is inevitable that sometimes change is needed in our lives. For good or for bad, we make decisions to leave behind all we’ve known, to start something new.With all the pain that lay heavily and stubbornly within her heart and mind, a much welcomed and timely invitation from the only person she could trust and confide in, gave Beth the strength to make this big change in her life. She arrived in the charming village of Burnsall, deep in the heart of the Yorkshire dales, to begin a new chapter.Leaving the city of her birth and everything she knew behind was a brave decision. With a determined mind, she embraces her new role as a teacher. All seems well, but her heart holds a painful secret and her diary is always in her mind. Its contents would affect her life’s journey, a journey which takes her to places that would open her mind to a whole new world…. But always hidden away is the diary and its dark secrets.
The global expansion of education is one of the greatest successes of the modern era. More children have access to schooling and leave with higher levels of learning than at any time in history. However, 250 million+ children in developing countries are still not in school, and 600 million+ attend but get little out of it – a situation further exacerbated by the dislocations from COVID-19. In a context where education funding is stagnating and even declining, Arran Hamilton and John Hattie suggest that we need to start thinking Lean and explicitly look for ways of unlocking more from less. Drawing on data from 900+ systematic reviews of 53,000+ research studies – from the perspective of efficiency of impact – they controversially suggest that for low- and middle-income countries: This groundbreaking and thought-provoking work also identifies a range of initiatives that are worth starting. It introduces the Leaning to G.O.L.D. methodology to support school and system leaders in selecting, implementing, and scaling those high-probability initiatives; and to rigorously de-implement those to be stopped. It is essential reading for anyone with an interest in education.
