  2. Is teaching an art or a science?

  3. The Bad News • Coleman (1966) discovered that only 10% of student achievement is influenced by what goes on in school. • Other influences include natural ability, socioeconomic status and home environment • Jencks (1972) agreed that schools did not have much control over student achievement

  4. The Good News • But the 10% influence can result in a 23 percentile gain • AND…research shows that even if the school doesn’t have much influence, the teacher does! • “The myth that teachers do not make a difference in student learning has been refuted” (Brophy and Good, 1986, p. 370)

  5. Research • “Soft” Science versus “Hard” Science • Look at general trends • Meta-analysis • Effect Size: the increase or decrease in achievement of the experimental group expressed in standard deviation units • Percentile Gain: the effect size can be translated into a percentile gain

  6. Why is Effect Size Important? Lots of overlap means there may not be a significant difference Very little overlap means there may be a significant difference http://cem.dur.ac.uk/ebeuk/research/effectsize/Whyneed.htm
