Meta-analyse en wat werkt in onderwijs

Annotaties Ben Wilbrink



“Finally, with respect to meta-analysis, our recommendation is simple: Just say no. The suggested alternative is equally simple: Read the papers, think about them, and summarize them. Try our alternative. Trust us: You will like it.”

Dit is een voorloper van Hattie (2009): het overzicht berust onder andere op 91 beschikbare meta-analyses.

“In projecting future results from the present findings, great caution is necessary. Poorly implemented versions of previously successful practices, especially those shown in special circumstances, are unlikely to work as well. Some practices that work well in some settings and with some students may not work as well with others, although evidence for such exceptionality is easier to hypothesize than to show consistently. The aggregated estimates nonetheless provide one reasonable basis for formulating educational policies and practices. They represent what can be distilled from an enormous body of educational research extending over the last half century; and the independent sources of evidence show reasonable agreement. [p. 279-280]”

Eén van de meta-analyses is de volgende, over het gebruik van rekenmachines (in de lijst van Hattie (2011) is het # 45 als ik het goed heb). Ik maak een wat uitvoeriger annotatie bij deze publikatie, gezien de actualiteit (aangenomen motie om het gebruik van rekenmachine terug te dringen; OCW moet er nog op antwoorden, waarschijnlijk in april).

John Hattie (2011). Visible Learning for Teachers. Routledge. inhoudsopgave

Dit boek is niet een nieuwe meta-analyse, maar geeft de visie van Hattie op wat goed onderwijs door de leraar is. Hij baseert zich vooral op de resultaten van zijn meta-meta-analyse (Hattie, 2009). Ik zal dit boek geduldig vanaf bladzijde 1 bestuderen en van aantekeningen voorzien. Op voorhand ben ik achterdochtig, omdat zijn meta-meta-analyse maar een beperkt deel van de onderwijswerkelijkheid kan laten zien, en het zelfs dan nog onduidelijk is wat de resultaten precies kunnen betekenen voor de praktijk. Ik zal dus voortdurend buiten de smalle kaders van Hattie proberen te treden. Ik denk dat ik dat in eerste instantie zal doen door een contrast te maken met drie andere boeken. Li & Kaiser (2011) Expertise in Mathematics Instruction, omdat hier nadrukkelijk de specifieke vakinhoud van het onderwijs erbij wordt betrokken; Carpenter, Fennema & Romberg(1993) omdat de inhoud hier nog weer concreter is gekozen als het domein van de rationele getallen (breuken, proporties,enz); en Ericsson (2009) omdat het directe doel van het onderwijs toch is om te reiken naar beginnend expertschap van de leerlingen.

Preface (Hattie, 2011). Een mooie tekst. Ik weet niet wat ik ervan moet denken; het is een voorwoord, het privilege van de schrijver. De rozevingerige dageraad van een pleidooi gericht op ‘impact’. Een bericht uit een andere cultuur, waar positieve overdrijving de norm is? Het geeft mij geen aanwijzingen over wat ik mag verwachten, behalve dat ijdelheid aan de auteur niet vreemd is. Ik vind het nogal over the top en had liever een bescheiden verklaring gezien dat het er in het onderwijs om gaat de tijd van de leerling niet te verspillen (Deanna Kuhn, 2005).

“Wat de leerlingen betreft hangen prestaties en metacognitieve vaardigheden licht negatief samen. Dat geen positieve samenhang kon worden gevonden (zoals op grond van de literatuur was te verwachten) kan liggen aan de wijze waarop de metacognitieve vaardigheden zijn geoperationaliseerd.”

Daar heb je weer zo’n wezenloze afsluiting bij een resultaat dat juist aan het denken had moeten zetten. Crombag c.s. vonden iets als dit al veel eerder (TOR, 1976, 1, 1-17) en waren zeker niet de eersten. Waarom niet eens gekeken of er mechanismen in de gebruikte didactiek en vooral in de toetsing zijn waardoor de inzet van metacognitieve vaardigheden wordt afgestraft? Maar in de klas is natuurlijk niet gekeken, want het gaat hier om meta-anayse op VOCL-data.

The results of the meta-analyses indicate (a) that cooperation is considerably more effective than interpersonal competition and individualistic efforts, (b) that cooperation with intergroup competition is also superior to interpersonal competition and individualistic efforts, and (c) that there is no significant difference between interpersonal competitive and individualistic efforts. Through multiple regression, a number of potentially mediating variables for these results are identified.
