Klaus Zierer – författare

In Visible Learning: Lesson Planning, John Hattie and Klaus Zierer make explicit how to implement the world-famous Visible Learning® research into the bedrock of teaching and preparation – lesson planning.By implementing the Visible Learning® data in everyday teaching, this book provides a practical guide to lesson planning that is unique and objective. Important planning steps are explained and described using example lessons in several different subjects. Success criteria are described, and simple strategies to implement, intervene with, and evaluate lessons effectively are provided including, critically, how to switch from surface to deep learning and back again. This book:combines the largest body of empirical educational research to date (now informed by more than 2,100 meta-analyses and implementation in thousands of classrooms globally) with the everyday task of lesson planningincludes empirical research on teaching and learning as well as theoretical studies on lesson planningis orientated toward the phases of analysis, planning, implementation, and evaluation of a lessonillustrates theoretical principles and empirical research results using a specific lessonprovides advice for learners, parents, school administrators, and teachersoffers numerous opportunities for consolidation through in-depth tasks at the levels of surface understanding and deep understandingfollows evidence-based criteria for the successful professionalization of teachersThis powerful and essential guide, which includes model plans, exercises, and checklists, will show any school how to implement Hattie’s research to maximize student success.

The Covid pandemic has caused massive disruption in the education system. The consequences for the education of the next generation are now clearly visible: a decline in learning performance, problems in psycho-social development, and a deterioration in physical condition. Although all children and young people are affected, those from educationally deprived backgrounds fall behind the most. All this characterizes the Covid Generation. Educational inequity is on the rise, and an educational catastrophe is looming.As important as this look back is, it is crucial to look forward. This vital book addresses the future of the Covid Generation by exploring its central issues, such as:What must be done to educate the Covid Generation in the best possible way?What concepts are there from an educational science perspective?What are the lessons learned from the Covid pandemic that will continue to be important for the education system in the future?What new teaching and learning structures need to be created?How can we strengthen student and teacher resilience?Based on an empirical survey of the well-being and educational attainment of the Covid Generation, concepts and ideas are presented to support and develop the Covid Generation of students, to rethink the education system, and to overcome the educational climate crisis and to enable a fresh start.

This new and updated edition of 10 Mindframes for Visible Learning revisits the ten behaviours or mindframes that teachers need to adopt in order to maximize student success. These powerful mindframes, which should underpin every action in schools, are founded on the principle that teachers are evaluators, change agents, learning experts, and seekers of feedback who are constantly engaged with dialogue and challenge. The ten mindframes include:thinking of and evaluating your impact on students’ learningthe importance of assessment and feedback to inform teachersworking collaboratively and the sense of communitythe notion that learning needs to be challenging and errors seen as opportunities to learnengaging in dialogue and the correct balance between talking and listeningconveying the success criteria to learnersbuilding positive relationshipsThis new edition now uses the much larger meta-analysis dataset (over 2,100 meta-analyses rather than 900) and incorporates new research, particularly with reference to digital technologies, evaluative thinking, and the lessons learned from large-scale school implementation of visible learning. Furthermore, thanks to "Visible Learning +", this book includes concrete, scientifically accompanied processes. Specifically, this means updated data, expanded chapters to include factors that clarify the core message of the mindframes, and explanations of the concrete examples that are research-proven to be most effective.This updated essential guide, which includes questionnaires, scenarios, checklists, and exercises, will show any school exactly how to implement Hattie’s mindframes to maximize student success.

What makes a good teacher? In 1991, Hartmut von Hentig attempted to answer this when he first formulated a 'Socratic oath' for the profession, and it is a question which remains relevant today. In The Socratic Oath for Teachers, Klaus Zierer revisits and reframes the concept of a teacher’s oath while also addressing challenges currently facing our societal developments in recent didactic-methodological research and fresh perspectives on the goals of the teaching profession. Referencing Socrates throughout, this short think piece proposes a professional oath for teachers that at its core is fully committed to the successful education and well-being of students.Drawing upon key research and his own experiences within education, Zierer answers the following questions, establishing how a professional oath may support teachers:What is a professional oath, and what can it do?What characterises teacher professionalism?What can be understood by teacher attitudes? Why are they crucial for a successful professional oath?Why is Socrates suitable as a guarantor for a professional oath of teachers?Why is a renewal of the Socratic Oath necessary?For whom is an oath necessary, and what must it contain?In this fascinating work, Klaus Zierer explores the principles and goals of the teaching profession and formulates theoretically sound and empirically validated principles of successful teaching. This is an essential read for any teacher, senior leader, policy maker, educationalist, or researcher who wants to learn more about what makes a good teacher.

For many, digitalization is the key to revolutionizing education. But what do we know about its impact on the learning process? What benefits are on offer and what are the risks? What are the consequences for educational interventions? Putting Learning Before Technology! discusses these questions and more in a thorough exploration of the use of technology in educational settings. Central to the author's argument is that digitalization as a sole and structural measure will bring little benefit and that the teachers who bring lessons to life are much more important. Features of the book include: evidence from Visible Learning research to scientifically frame the effectiveness and pitfalls of technology in the classroom; real-life classroom examples; graphics to clearly illustrate key concepts and studies.This book is a fascinating analysis of the impact, possibilities, and limits of the use of technology within education, and will appeal to teachers and teacher-trainers in any setting or country.

Feedback from students to teachers has been shown to have a major influence on students’ achievement. Although the use of feedback from students requires little time and investment, the exploration of this topic in recent years has focused primarily on that from teacher-to-student or teacher-to-teacher. This innovative book examines the much-neglected feedback path from student to teacher and provides an empirically founded and practice-oriented step-by-step guide for teachers who want to get feedback on their own teaching.Including a foreword by John Hattie, the authors shed light on the benefits, challenges, impact and academic discussion of student feedback. Topics include: an outline of the current state of research about feedback, including in the light of Visible Learning, and the essentials for translating this research into implementation in the classroom;the advantages of student-to-teacher feedback and how it is connected to good, effective teaching;the practicalities of putting student feedback into practice: finding the right questions to ask, professional discussion, and how to go about applying changes to your teaching;an exploration of combining digital technologies with the acquisition and evaluation of student feedback;the wider impact of feedback and how a "feedback culture" can transform not only individual teachers but whole schools.Using Student Feedback for Successful Teaching is an essential guide for experienced and newly-qualified teachers alike who are invested in their professional development and who strive to deliver the best quality teaching for their students.
