What is an Interrelationship Diagram?

An interrelationship diagram (ID) shows how different issues are related to one another. It helps identify which issues are causing problems and which are an outcome of other actions. It also shows the strength of each influence.

An interrelationship diagram consists of a set of boxes, one representing each issue to be considered. It is organized in a radial pattern on the page. Connecting lines between the boxes indicates their relationship. Arrows show direct relationships and distinguish causes from effects.

Interrelationship diagrams can be extremely useful when trying to sort out possible causes of a specific problem. Although they do not identify detailed reasons for the problem, they do allow one to analyze broader issues as causes and effects of one another.

How to Create an Interrelationship Diagram

Identify the problem. Decide what problem to solve by analyzing its various factors. Place it in a box at the top of the paper.

Identify issues. Brainstorm to produce any key issues, ideas, reasons, causes, etc., for the problem. Place each in a rectangle on the page.

Connect the issues. Choose any item to start with and compare it to any other. Decide if the two are related to each other in any way. If they are, identify which is a cause and which is an effect. Use an arrow pointing from cause to effect to show the relationship.

Identify intensity. If one item has a particularly strong influence on another make the arrow darker. If it is a weak relationship, use a dotted line.

Analyze. Any item with a large number of outgoing arrows is a key cause of the problem. Any item with many arrows pointing to it is a main outcome.

Solve the issue. Discuss a way to solve the issue by focusing on the main cause.

Connecting design thinking with STEM pedagogy

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Yes! We love connecting with educators, innovators and other individuals and groups interested in the education innovation space. Below are some ways to get in touch:

Subscribe to our mailing list: All of our offerings are announced in our monthly network email, as well as stories from the field.

Come to office hours: We hold office hours on Mondays weekly from 3:30-5:30. To reserve a spot please mail k12@dschool.stanford.edu with the subject title Office Hours.

Tour the d.school: We offer tours of the d.school for educators and students once a month. If you'd like to join an upcoming tour check the schedule here.

Connect on social media: The K12 Lab Network maintains an active Instagram account, Facebook page, and Twitter account. Check out #DTK12chat, a weekly Twitter chat on design thinking in K-12 education, held on Wednesdays from 6-7 PM PST.
What kinds of professional development does the K12 Lab Network offer?
School Retool is a professional development fellowship that helps school leaders redesign their school's culture using small, scrappy experiments called "hacks." Hacks may start small, but they're built on research-based practices that lead to Deeper Learning, and can create the kind of big changes school leaders strive to create.

Discover Design Thinking workshops are 3-day deep-dives in the process. Educators have a chance to practice design thinking as well as determine how to bring this practice home to their local context.

Design Thinking Deep Dives are fee-based collaborations with schools, organizations, and districts to design a context-specific challenge frame. This experience can take place at the d.school or on location. To learn more email k12@dschool.stanford.edu with the title Deep Dive.
Can the K12 Lab come to my school or organization?
Since we operate as a part of Stanford and are located in the Bay Area, most of our offerings are clustered around the region, including San Francisco, the Peninsula, and Oakland. We do occasionally offer programs in other areas. If you're interested in pursuing such an opportunity, to learn more email k12@dschool.stanford.edu.
How can I find other educators who are using DT in their work?
There are lots of educators doing great things with design thinking in their schools and organizations across the globe. To find other like-minded design thinkers, you can:

* Follow us on Twitter @k12lab, and join the #DTK12chat on Wednesdays from 6-7 PM PST

* Join our Facebook group of educators

* Sign up for our network email to see what's happening in the world of #DTK12

John Hattie Evidence Based Research on Learning

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
John Hattie developed a way of synthesizing various influences in different meta-analyses according to their effect size (Cohen's d). In his ground-breaking study "Visible Learning" he ranked 138 influences that are related to learning outcomes from very positive effects to very negative effects. Hattie found that the average effect size of all the interventions he studied was 0.40. Therefore he decided to judge the success of influences relative to this 'hinge point', in order to find an answer to the question "What works best in education?"
Originally, Hattie studied six areas that contribute to learning: the student, the home, the school, the curricula, the teacher, and teaching and learning approaches. (The updated list also includes the classroom.) But Hattie did not only provide a list of the relative effects of different influences on student achievement. He also tells the story underlying the data. He found that the key to making a difference was making teaching and learning visible. He further explained this story in his book " Visible learning for teachers ".

John Hattie updated his list of 138 effects to 150 effects in Visible Learning for Teachers (2011), and more recently to a list of 195 effects in The Applicability of Visible Learning to Higher Education (2015). His research is now based on nearly 1200 meta-analyses - up from the 800 when Visible Learning came out in 2009. According to Hattie the story underlying the data has hardly changed over time even though some effect sizes were updated and we have some new entries at the top, at the middle, and at the end of the list.

Below you can find an updated version of our first, second and third visualization of effect sizes related to student achievement.
