The Metiri Group's report disputes the widely debated Cone of Experience theory, which says each of us learns 10 percent of what we read, 20 percent of what we hear, 30 percent of what we see, 50 percent of what we hear and see, 70 percent of what we say or write, and 90 percent of what we say as we do a thing. (The rampant misrepresentation of researcher Edgar Dale's valid model of classifying learning styles is discussed in this entry in the blog of educational consultant Will Thalheimer.) After an extensive search, the report's authors were unable to find any empirical evidence supporting this breakdown. Contrary to popular opinion, research shows that lessons in which students interact with material, rather than passively absorb it, are not always better.

Resources for understanding and performing qualitative data analysis. Very useful as schools are forced to look more and more at data, and need a way for teachers to effectively use that data to impact instruction.

QDA has become a growing factor in our school system. The data teachers collect and analyze spans from written tests, student response data, individual curricular modules, grade book analytics, state tests, national tests and more. Many teachers are overwhelmed with assessment and data. This site is a wonderful resource to keep in our pockets so that assessment methods and data collected have a quality aspect and can be used as a solid directional arrow for instruction. Much appreciated.
