I have been having a hard time finding research based articles on my driving question. I seem to be getting mostly books or "white papers". For my research project I will explore the impact Teacher and Student clarity have on student learning. I will post clear objectives, success criteria and have a clear learning map that is shared, discussed and self monitored with the students during the learning process.
John Hattie keeps coming up when researching my driving question, "What is the impact learning maps have on student clarity for learning objectives and meeting success criteria?" Hattie is known for his studies and synthesis on met-analysis research on the effect of all the variables on learning. Clarity is a variable with a high effect size. The big ideas that always came up was, If students know what is expected and what the success criteria is then they will be more engaged, chose the right learning strategies and be more likely to transfer the knowledge. The learning objectives and success criteria need to be clear to the students and they are different from the context and the tasks. Often times they will be focused what they are doing and not what they are learning. The state of the art knowledge related to my question is students should be able to answer these four questions no matter what they are learning. 1. Where am I going in my learning? 2. Where am I now in my learning? 3. What next steps am I going to take in my learning? 4. How do I improve my learning and that of others?

I can relate to how you feel about finding research related to your specific driving question. I continue to find research that relates in some areas but it has been difficult to find very specific research in terms of what I want to focus on. It's good that you're finding those researchers that continue to come up. Good luck finding more research specific to what you need.

It's nice to hear that I am not the only one having difficulty finding research related to my question.
