1. Growing to Learn; Learning to Grow
Aranmore Catholic College, March 2012
„We now accept the fact that learning is a
lifelong process of keeping abreast of
change. And the most pressing task is to
teach people how to learn.‟
Peter Drucker, 1909–2005
(Described by Business Week as ‘the man who
invented management’)

3. “Some men are born great, some achieve
greatness and others have greatness thrust upon
them”
Malvolio, Twelfth Night
4. Nature vs Nurture
Francis Galton was the first
to use the term “Nature vs.
Nurture”
In 1854, he published an
article exploring whether
social behaviour was a
result of genetics or
environment (eg. are
criminals born or created?)
Galton was a cousin of
Charles Darwin
5. What has made these two people successful?
Oscar Pistorius Usain Bolt
6. Did they develop their genius or were they born with it?
Leonardo da Vinci Steve Jobs
7. Are their talents innate or incremental?
Joanne Kathleen Rowling Sally Morgan
8. Were these two born to be entrepreneurs?
Rupert Murdoch Richard Branson
13. Learning how to learn
„What (students) should learn first is not the
subjects ordinarily taught, however important they
may be; they should be given lessons of will, of
attention, of discipline; before exercises in
grammar, they need to be exercised in mental
orthopaedics; in a word they must learn how to
learn.‟
Alfred Binet
1857 - 1911
14. Intelligence is not fixed (Binet, 1909)
„Some recent philosophers
have given their moral approval
to the deplorable verdict that
an individual‟s intelligence is a
fixed quantity, one which
cannot be augmented. We
must protest and act against
this brutal pessimism … it has
no foundation whatsoever.‟
Alfred Binet
1857 - 1911

21. We all have beliefs about intelligence & talents
People who believe
intelligence comes
mainly from nature have
a „fixed‟ mindset
People who believe
intelligence comes
mainly from nurture
have a „growth‟ mindset
Professor Carol Dweck, Stanford
22. Fixed Mindset Growth Mindset
Intelligence and ability are fixed Intelligence and ability can be
Nature determines intelligence grown & improved
Nurture plays a big role
Priority
Prove myself Priority
Succeed with little effort, as this Improve myself
proves I am clever To learn as much as possible
Response to Difficulties Response to Difficulties
Feel inferior or incapable Feel inspiredto try new
Try guessing the answers or strategies
copying others Seek advice& coaching
Motto Motto
If you have to try, you must be No pain, no gain
stupid
23. Then in school, we use terms such as …
Gifted, Bright Special Needs
Average
25. Praise that encourages a fixed mindset includes …
Clever girl!
Gifted musician
Brilliant
mathematician
Bright boy
Top of the class!
By far the best
26. The effects of different types of praise
Mueller and
Dweck, 1998
In six studies, 7th
grade students
were given a
series of
nonverbal IQ
tests.
27. Mueller and Dweck, 1998
Intelligence praise
“Wow, that‟s a really good score. You must be smart at this.”
Process praise
“Wow, that‟s a really good score. You must have tried really
hard.”
Control-group praise
“Wow, that‟s a really good score.”

The evidence was collected from existing meta-analyses – the actual research that is the basis of the meta-analyses included published material and quality assured research papers and student projects (eg unpublished PhDs theses). John Hattie is constantly updating the meta-analyses so you may find slight variations in the effects across publications. The material in this workshop will be kept up to date and the effect size tables in the workbook will be accurate.
This slide represents the way that the multitude of assessment results can be compared once they are put into an effect size – and put onto a common scale. It is a way of taking different types of assessment results and making a common comparison.
Changing School timetablingThis research focused on the effects of modifying the school year to shorten the summer break while not increasing the length of the school year. The average effect size for favouring modified calendars is small. Teacher Subject Matter KnowledgeThere is not a large body of evidence to support the claim that teacher subject matter knowledge has a significant and related effect on student achievement. This finding seems contradictory to what we might believe to be true. As a result John Hattie has looked more closely at the possible reasons and purports that the reason may be that many teachers are teaching at surface level only. If this is the case then deep subject matter knowledge is not important for surface level teaching.GenderThe difference in achievement between genders is minor and there is more variance within groups of boys and groups of girls than there is between them. As well as there being very few achievement differences there are also very few differences across other domains i.e. communication, social and personality variables. Males outperform girls in motor performance and social aggression and females outperform males in agreeableness.Ability GroupingIn the USA data shows that about 86% of students in public schools are placed in tracked classes. The outcomes can be considered both in terms of achievement and equity. Tracking has minimal effects on student outcomes and profound negative equity effects. Low track classes have been described as ‘deadening, non-educational environments’. Oakes, (2005) VL p90. Qualitative evidence shows that low track classes are more fragmented, less engaging and taught by fewer well trained teachers (VL p91).
