This set of ...My reaction was the same as Clive's. This set of Michigan figures looks suspiciously like the bogus data long touted by trainers everywhere. I too like the 2-sigma data from the Bloom study. Sam Adkins regularly uses <A HREF="http://static.flickr.com/61/179041342_1378e52386_o.jpg" REL="nofollow">this chart</A> which represents products and research which support Bloom's 2-sigma data. I'm a bit more confident following data that has been supported or confirmed by 320 studies.<BR/><BR/>I must say that I'm a bit disappointed in GEAR. Why doesn't the GATHER stage include the gathering of resources, materials, and appropriate presentation devices.<BR/><BR/>In our new collaborative world, how can EXPAND not include interaction with each other?<BR/><BR/>There is no place specified for practice. I'd suggest that practice would be a first stage of APPLY.<BR/>Would you happen to have a link or document regarding Microsoft's GEAR blend?Dave Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858983999952168681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21077063.post-1151240263498461832006-06-25T12:57:00.000+00:002006-06-25T12:57:00.000+00:00Good point.There was a classic, but always unverif...Good point.<BR/><BR/>There was a classic, but always unverified slide, used by trainers that said 10% of what we read, 20% of what we hear, 30% of what we see etc. This was bogus.<BR/><BR/>This table was lfted from Charles Jenning's talk. I haven't checked the source.<BR/><BR/>One study I always liked was Bloom (1984)The 2-sigma problem, Educational researcher , 13 (6) 4-16. This was the first of many studies that showed massive rises in attainment when teaching and learning move away from the classroom. The study showed that the classroom was the LEAST effective method of learning by a mile. It's a pity that this study is ignored while his primitive 3-dimensional Cognitive/Psychomotor and Affective schema is remembered.Donald Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00796341486328270474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21077063.post-1151238346645210572006-06-25T12:25:00.000+00:002006-06-25T12:25:00.000+00:00How reliable are these figures from the University...How reliable are these figures from the University of Michigan?
