Abstract
In 2009 Hattie presented his intriguing book ‘Visible Leaning’ , the result of 15 years’ research
and synthesizes over 800 meta-analyses relating to the factors that influence achievement of school-aged
students. It builds a story about the power of teachers and the importance of feedback and structure.
The question is, however: How do we realize this in the domain specific context of geography? After some
information about ‘Visible Learning’ and some remarks about geography teaching, this article describes two
small experiments in which student teachers trained students’ learning abilities using feedback respectively
structure.
