What Dick Hake's thorough investigations have shown is that k is pretty well
a constant for all levels of teacher enthusiasm. This is almost certainly a
blow for the many of us who have approached teaching with enthusiasm and
have won high student evaluations and even awards for good teaching. dick
has provided the figures that show that all that enthusiasm, all the spent
energy counts for very little, if for anything.
So, it seems we can drop the k from the relation. All is not lost. What
Hake has shown is that we can write.
V = scdA,
where
s = a measure of the student involvement in the learning process
c = a measure of the curriculum material used (or, the way the student's
are involved in their learning).
