evidence-based teaching

There are some very interesting teaching methods out there - some with more 'evidence' behind them than others.

This also has some:

Jay Doubleyou: learning theory: constructivism

John Hattie provides definitive evidence of what works and what doesn't - for example, in one particular area:

Jay Doubleyou: students want feedback part 2

Stephen Krashen is not convinced about one very popular approach to teaching English writing and pronunciation:

Jay Doubleyou: a critique of phonics

It is quite difficult - backing up different theories with evidence:

So, over the last couple of decades, a more solid approach to approaches to teaching has developed:

Evidence-based education (EBE) is the principle that education practices should be based on the best available scientific evidence, with randomised trials as the gold standard of evidence, rather than tradition, personal judgement, or other influences.[1] Evidence-based education is related to evidence-based teaching,[2][3][4] evidence-based learning,[5] and school effectiveness research.[6][7]

The evidence-based education movement has its roots in the larger movement towards evidence-based practices, and has been the subject of considerable debate since the late 1990s.[8] However, research published in 2020 showed that there is still widespread belief amongst educators in ineffective teaching techniques such as learning styles[9] and the cone of learning.[10]
