Paperback, fine condition. 174 pages Published by Nzcer Press, 2007 ISBN: 1877398241

The Hidden Lives of Learners takes the reader deep into the hitherto undiscovered world of the learner. It explores the three worlds which together shape a student's learning-public world of the teacher, the highly influential world of peers, and the student's own private world and experiences. What becomes clear is that just because a teacher is teaching, does not mean students are learning. Using a unique method of data collection through meticulous recording-audio, video, observations, interview, pre and posttests-and the collation and analysis of what occurred inside and outside the classroom, Graham Nuthall has definitely documented what is involved for most students to learn and retain a concept. In the author's lifetime, the significance of his discoveries and the rare mix of quantitative and qualitative methods were widely recognised and continue to be one of the foundation stones of evidence-based quality education.
