Rezensionen

"This book offers a mind-stretching breadth of content, a refreshingly respectful approach to debate, and an insightful analysis of the perennial 'purposes' question." - Steve Turnbull, Schools Week

"The book has good section divisions, with small illustrative comics woven in and good summarizing questions after the chapters. All in all, it is a book with a very inviting and readable form." - Lark Grandjean, folkeskolen

"If you are yet to read Visible Learning, I would recommend starting here. Many of the chapters can be used at teacher training colleges and other areas of higher education. I myself plan to use chapters from the book in my teaching. It comes highly recommended." - Kirsten Hyldgaard, Unge Pædagoger

"It is well-edited, lively and contains many interesting conversations, which partly follow the main thematic tracks, but which also include numerous concrete experiences and examples from completely different contexts, which are interesting in themselves." - Peter Østergaard Andersen, Dansk pædagogisk Tidsskrift
