A brief definition of learning gains
McGrath, C. H., Guerin, B., Harte, E., Frearson, M., & Manville, C. (2015). Learning gain in higher education. www.rand.org/t/rr996/
As indicated in the RAND report by McGrath
et al. (2015, xi), learning gains are defined as:
“as the ‘distance travelled’, or the difference
between the skills, competencies, content
knowledge and personal development
demonstrated by students at two points in
time. This allows for a comparison of
academic abilities and how participation in
higher education has contributed to such
intellectual development.”

Higher Education, 44(3), 321-337.
Affective learning gains
 Affective learning gains were
measured in 19 studies (e.g.,
Moorer, 2009; Strayhorn,
2010) comprising 28 student
samples totalling 3,333
higher education students.
 Self-reported affective
learning gains there were
mainly studies that reported
relatively high learning gains
of > 40%, ranging from 39-
98%

Higher Education, 44(3), 321-337.
Behavioural learning gains
 Behavioural learning gains
were measured in 13 studies
(e.g., Casem, 2006; Varsavsky
et al., 2014) comprising 23
student samples totalling
4,268 higher education
students.
 With the exception of one
study (Stolk and Martello
2015), the remaining 12
studies used a cross-
sectional design for
measuring behavioural
learning gains

Cognitive learning gains
 Cognitive learning gains were
measured in 22 studies, comprising
39 student samples, totalling 18,024
higher education students.
 Pre-post testing was used in four
studies, and two studies used a
form of pre-post testing through
reflection all totalling to seven
student samples.
 Only in one sample (Stolk and
Martello 2015) did students report
lower cognitive ability at the post-
test than at the pre-test, but the
difference was not significant.

 Follow-up analyses of treatment
studies which compared a change
in curricular or module design
(treatment) enhanced students
learning in comparison to traditional
lectures (control) found that
students performed better in the
treatment condition <g> = 0.39
than in control condition <g> =
0.26.
 Again a wide range of learning
gains were found, whereby average
normalised learning gains g ranged
from -.20 to .81,

Learning gains concepts widely used but have different meanings in different contexts
In summary
• Following a robust and thorough coding and analysis of affective, behavioural, and cognitive learning gains across 52
empirical learning gain studies, our systematic review found that most studies focussed on cognitive learning gains,
mostly using pre-post objective testing.
• Studies examining a combination of affective, behavioural, and cognitive learning gains, but in their majority they
employed cross-sectional design, and mostly relied on self-reported retrospective estimates of learning gains, with
obvious potential limitations
• 52 studies reported a vast range of learning gains, highlighting on the one hand the inherent and well-recognised
complexity of higher education teaching practice, and on the other hand the methodological complexities of defining
what actually constitutes a learning gain, and how this could potentially be measured appropriately.
• The reported magnitude of learning gains amongst these 52 studies was surprisingly diverse and wide ranging.
• There is a lack of consistency in the ways in which learning gains are currently measured and reported. These
inconsistencies and limitations hamper effective comparisons of learning gains and teaching excellence.
• As highlighted by Everson (2016) we need to make it clear to teachers and students what we mean when measuring
value added.
• We recommend a greater emphasis on longitudinal measurement of learning gains using validated approaches.

Affective learning gains
• Using student satisfaction data for
proxies for affective learning gains
was not an appropriate approach.
• First, there was a lack of consistent
data over time for sufficiently large
numbers of students.
• Second, substantial variation in
student satisfaction rates across
modules, so changes in measured
affective learning gains are more
likely to arise from differences in
sequences of modules
 Third, those who completed the student
satisfaction surveys were not representative
for the wider student population.
 Fourth, when comparing the approaches
across the institutions, the lack of
standardisation of student satisfaction
approaches, constructs, and items made it
impossible to compare potential differences
in learning gains across institutions over
time.
Behavioural learning gains
• Engagement data from VLE not good
proxy for behaviour learning gains
• First of all, engagement of students in
a respective module is strongly
dependent by the learning design.
• Second, even if proxies for
engagement could be identified, our
research showed that the types of
engagement will heavily be influenced
by the type of learning design
 Third, related research looking at fine-grained
analyses of what students are actually studying,
and when, showed substantial variation in
engagement and successful learning
approaches
 In other words, our longitudinal analyses showed
that our LMS proxies of engagement were not
effective for understanding how students made
behavioural learning gains over time.

What students think they gain?
I think I am more openly critical
(in the positive sense)
Day to day when I have my book I have very different
approach from recording my notes for example
[in my new job], there will reports and
planning to be drawn and I think that this will
be an aspect of my job where I can say yes
the OU study and discipline I’ve received
from the OU has actually contributed to that.
I observe things better, work into deeper and
work on the whole picture rather than narrow.
I think more logically and more ‘why did that
happen, why did that happen’, there is more
questioning, instead of just to accept things.
I am much better at time management, I am much more
organised now and planning things in advance.
now I say, ‘you know what, I can do that in future’.
I feel more confident and I am happier
because I am doing something I have always
wanted to be doing and something that
interests me
I think I can go confidently to
speak what I learned. But
even to a job that isn’t directly
related to this subject area. I
could talk about my
experiences, my time
management, team working,
computer skills as I feel much
more confident, I can say,
‘actually I have done this’.
Which was one of the
reasons I wanted to a degree.
Do grades matter?
How well do your grades represent your progress?
probably in the same way that many other people when
they look at their own assignment results and exam results
…. I feel that I am doing fairly well but I’d always like to
improve myself to my results.
I get quite upset when I get around 70s
… because I am putting so much effort I want my grades to reflect it.
They usually go up. But it is Marginal. 5 marks across all the TMAs
that’s the variance, it just varies very slightly
Even if it is 1-2 marks I say what did I do differently and
I go back to tutor to see what did I do differently. What
happened, what caused it?
Well there are questions with the text books, exercises. So
if I get correct answer, I know I am doing fine. When I say
correct answer that’s not the end product that’s the whole
answer check through it
“I suppose you could say… the skills you learn, like group work, presenting and being able to talk to people…
I would say the main way that you think about [achievement], it’s just the grade because… that’s what is going
on your CV… and affect what job you get. … I’d say the skills you learn as well as becoming an all-rounded person
are quite important as well”.

Learning gain in higher education. www.rand.org/t/rr996/ As indicated in the RAND report by McGrath et al. (2015, xi), learning gains are defined as: “as the ‘distance travelled’, or the difference between the skills, competencies, content knowledge and personal development demonstrated by students at two points in time. This allows for a comparison of academic abilities and how participation in higher education has contributed to such intellectual development.”

  • 9. How are learning gains measured: a systematic analysis  52 studies selected: 42000+ students  The concept of learning gain is primarily used to examine the effect of any particular educational ‘intervention’  There is a gradual increase in studies examining learning gains all across the world  All learning gains can be classified into ABC 53% 16% 21% 10% Behaviour-Cognitive Learning Gains Affective-Behaviour-Cognitive Learning Gains Cognitive Learning Gains Rogaten, J., Rienties, B, Sharpe, R., Cross, S., Whitelock, D., Lygo-Baker, S., Littlejohn, A.

  • 10. What type of learning gains are there Affective learning gains: • Attitude • Confidence • Enjoyment • Enthusiasm for a topic • Feeling comfortable with complex ideas • Interest in a topic • Motivation • Satisfaction • Self-efficacy Cognitive learning gains: • Students’ ability to evaluate and create knowledge • Analytical ability • Autonomous cognition • Critical thinking • Ethical thinking • Creative and higher order thinking Discipline specific skills • Knowledge and understanding of the topic, • Oral and written communication • Problem solving • Scientific reasoning • Statistical and research kills/knowledge Behavioural learning gains: •Ability to work independently •Applied conceptual understanding •Effort and engagement •Leadership skills •Team/group working skills •Practical competence •Resource management •Responsibility •Preparation skills •Time management skills Rogaten, J., Rienties, B, Sharpe, R., Cross, S., Whitelock, D., Lygo-Baker, S., Littlejohn, A. (2018). Reviewing affective, behavioural, and cognitive learning gains in higher education. Assessment and Evaluation in Higher Education, 44(3), 321-337.
  • 11. Affective learning gains  Affective learning gains were measured in 19 studies (e.g., Moorer, 2009; Strayhorn, 2010) comprising 28 student samples totalling 3,333 higher education students.  Self-reported affective learning gains there were mainly studies that reported relatively high learning gains of > 40%, ranging from 39- 98% Rogaten, J., Rienties, B, Sharpe, R., Cross, S., Whitelock, D., Lygo-Baker, S., Littlejohn, A. (2018). Reviewing affective, behavioural, and cognitive learning gains in higher education. Assessment and Evaluation in Higher Education, 44(3), 321-337.
  • 12. Behavioural learning gains  Behavioural learning gains were measured in 13 studies (e.g., Casem, 2006; Varsavsky et al., 2014) comprising 23 student samples totalling 4,268 higher education students.  With the exception of one study (Stolk and Martello 2015), the remaining 12 studies used a cross- sectional design for measuring behavioural learning gains Rogaten, J., Rienties, B, Sharpe, R., Cross, S., Whitelock, D., Lygo-Baker, S., Littlejohn, A. (2018). Reviewing affective, behavioural, and cognitive learning gains in higher education. Assessment and Evaluation in
  • 13. Cognitive learning gains  Cognitive learning gains were measured in 22 studies, comprising 39 student samples, totalling 18,024 higher education students.  Pre-post testing was used in four studies, and two studies used a form of pre-post testing through reflection all totalling to seven student samples.  Only in one sample (Stolk and Martello 2015) did students report lower cognitive ability at the post- test than at the pre-test, but the difference was not significant.

  • 14. Cognitive learning gains  Follow-up analyses of treatment studies which compared a change in curricular or module design (treatment) enhanced students learning in comparison to traditional lectures (control) found that students performed better in the treatment condition <g> = 0.39 than in control condition <g> = 0.26.  Again a wide range of learning gains were found, whereby average normalised learning gains g ranged from -.20 to .81, Rogaten, J., Rienties, B, Sharpe, R., Cross, S., Whitelock, D., Lygo-Baker, S., Littlejohn, A. (2018). Reviewing affective, behavioural, and cognitive learning gains in higher education. Assessment and Evaluation in
  • 15. 15 Learning gains concepts widely used but have different meanings in different contexts In summary • Following a robust and thorough coding and analysis of affective, behavioural, and cognitive learning gains across 52 empirical learning gain studies, our systematic review found that most studies focussed on cognitive learning gains, mostly using pre-post objective testing. • Studies examining a combination of affective, behavioural, and cognitive learning gains, but in their majority they employed cross-sectional design, and mostly relied on self-reported retrospective estimates of learning gains, with obvious potential limitations • 52 studies reported a vast range of learning gains, highlighting on the one hand the inherent and well-recognised complexity of higher education teaching practice, and on the other hand the methodological complexities of defining what actually constitutes a learning gain, and how this could potentially be measured appropriately. • The reported magnitude of learning gains amongst these 52 studies was surprisingly diverse and wide ranging. • There is a lack of consistency in the ways in which learning gains are currently measured and reported. These inconsistencies and limitations hamper effective comparisons of learning gains and teaching excellence. • As highlighted by Everson (2016) we need to make it clear to teachers and students what we mean when measuring value added. • We recommend a greater emphasis on longitudinal measurement of learning gains using validated approaches.

  • 23. Affective learning gains • Using student satisfaction data for proxies for affective learning gains was not an appropriate approach. • First, there was a lack of consistent data over time for sufficiently large numbers of students. • Second, substantial variation in student satisfaction rates across modules, so changes in measured affective learning gains are more likely to arise from differences in sequences of modules  Third, those who completed the student satisfaction surveys were not representative for the wider student population.  Fourth, when comparing the approaches across the institutions, the lack of standardisation of student satisfaction approaches, constructs, and items made it impossible to compare potential differences in learning gains across institutions over time.
  • 24. Behavioural learning gains • Engagement data from VLE not good proxy for behaviour learning gains • First of all, engagement of students in a respective module is strongly dependent by the learning design. • Second, even if proxies for engagement could be identified, our research showed that the types of engagement will heavily be influenced by the type of learning design  Third, related research looking at fine-grained analyses of what students are actually studying, and when, showed substantial variation in engagement and successful learning approaches  In other words, our longitudinal analyses showed that our LMS proxies of engagement were not effective for understanding how students made behavioural learning gains over time.

  • 35. What students think they gain? I think I am more openly critical (in the positive sense) Day to day when I have my book I have very different approach from recording my notes for example [in my new job], there will reports and planning to be drawn and I think that this will be an aspect of my job where I can say yes the OU study and discipline I’ve received from the OU has actually contributed to that. I observe things better, work into deeper and work on the whole picture rather than narrow. I think more logically and more ‘why did that happen, why did that happen’, there is more questioning, instead of just to accept things. I am much better at time management, I am much more organised now and planning things in advance. now I say, ‘you know what, I can do that in future’. I feel more confident and I am happier because I am doing something I have always wanted to be doing and something that interests me I think I can go confidently to speak what I learned. But even to a job that isn’t directly related to this subject area. I could talk about my experiences, my time management, team working, computer skills as I feel much more confident, I can say, ‘actually I have done this’. Which was one of the reasons I wanted to a degree.
  • 36. Do grades matter? How well do your grades represent your progress? probably in the same way that many other people when they look at their own assignment results and exam results …. I feel that I am doing fairly well but I’d always like to improve myself to my results. I get quite upset when I get around 70s … because I am putting so much effort I want my grades to reflect it. They usually go up. But it is Marginal. 5 marks across all the TMAs that’s the variance, it just varies very slightly Even if it is 1-2 marks I say what did I do differently and I go back to tutor to see what did I do differently. What happened, what caused it? Well there are questions with the text books, exercises. So if I get correct answer, I know I am doing fine. When I say correct answer that’s not the end product that’s the whole answer check through it “I suppose you could say… the skills you learn, like group work, presenting and being able to talk to people… I would say the main way that you think about [achievement], it’s just the grade because… that’s what is going on your CV… and affect what job you get. … I’d say the skills you learn as well as becoming an all-rounded person are quite important as well”.
