Looking at learning in practice - Classroom observation with Noldus Observer XT

By Martijn van Schaik

In Dutch education and in education in general, there is an ongoing debate regarding how well new pedagogy and curricula work. The question is: “What works?” (Slavin, 2004).
That is not an easy question to answer. However, both policy makers and researchers are looking for forms of evidence that address at least part of that question. Often the answer is either qualitative or quantitative. In the research described below, I will show how using The Observer XT has allowed us to integrate different sources of data.
