Achievements and Limitations of the Hattie Study

Since its publication, the book "Visible Learning" by New Zealand educational researcher John Hattie has resonated strongly in educational research and administration worldwide, especially in Germany. He has systematically evaluated around 50,000 empirical studies on the conditions for student learning success. The didactic actions of teachers in the classroom emerge as the most important condition for learning success. Those teachers who provide their students with regular feedback on their learning progress and make learning visible are the most successful. In 11 contributions, renowned education experts examine the Hattie study from different perspectives. They analyze the achievements and limitations of this study in an easily understandable manner to counteract a distorted or one-sided reception of the Hattie study.
