“Visible Learning” by John Hattie
“Visible Learning” by John Hattie
John Hattie used TONS of research to create a meta analysis (Compilation book). This research involved more than 240 million students. Using these studies, he looked at the patterns and produced a scale that demonstrates the most effective format for student learning.
Hattie found that nearly everything effects student learning. He stated, "about 95 percent of all things we do have a positive influence . . . One only needs a pulse and we can improve achievement.”

The scale Hattie produced showed that we need to focus on the items of influence that fall under the 0.4+ categories.
Hattie found that there are 252 influences on student learning inside the whole scale.
53 of these have an effect that rates 0.59 or greater.
1/53 results from technology, school, and out of school resources
2/53 result from class structure
6/53 result from curriculum
6/53 result from individual teacher qualities
9/53 result from individual student beliefs
13/53 result from student learning strategies
16/53 result from teaching strategies
29 of the 53 learning strategies are addressed with Project Based Learning.
The influences left unaddressed are linked to prior student achievements, individual beliefs, testing/testing effects, student subgroups, or other learning strategies.

World Economic Forum, Future of Jobs Report 2023
In 2023, a survey was provided to 803 companies. These companies employ more than 11.3 million workers across 27 industry clusters and 45 different economies from all regions of the world. This survey was used to find the top ten core skills needed in today's workforce.
The Skills are, in order of importance:
Analytical thinking (Cognitive)
Creative thinking (Cognitive)
Resilience, flexibility, and agility (Self-efficacy)
Motivation and Self-awareness (Self-efficacy)
Curiosity and lifelong learning (Self-efficacy)
Technological literacy (Technology)
Dependability and attention to detail (Self-efficacy)
Empathy and active listening (Working with others)
Leadership and social influence (Working with others)
Quality control (Management)
The need for cognitive skills is quickly growing as a reflection of the growing and complex problem-solving workplace.
Self-efficacy is also highly needed, given that it references a workers' ability to adapt to disrupted workplaces.
This image shows the full list of skills from the survey.
Notice that Reading, Writing, and Math is #16.
The blue shows the importance of the skill, and the purple shows the decline of importance.
Notice how Math, Reading, and Writing is the 3rd largest declining skill.
This just shows that our world doesn't need the skills that schools are focused on, and that need will continue to lessen.
The responders expressed confidence in the current workforce, HOWEVER, they are not optimistic about the next five years in relation to Talent availability.
