Looks like we need more opportunities to help others learn to enhance our own learning retention rates.

Any idea if this is based on sound science? I can't find any research that directly supports these figures.

I'm very skeptical that this diagram is based on actual research. The source for this has been investigated at http://www.work-learning.com/chigraph.htm

I have this matrix a lot in train the trainer training, but think it is only applicable really for retention of information in terms of reproducing facts. I don't think it applies to learning in general - there rather than the medium it's important whether it touches upon your own question I think

Good question Harold and after some searching it seems that this diagram is a hoax of sorts. Here is an article which describes how this diagram evolved: http://www.work-learning.com/chigraph.htm

A hoax? It's based on John Dewey, Albert Bandura and countless other education theorists. Certainly we can all agree the CHART is a hoax, but the paragidm behind it can easily be backed by theory from the 1900's to today.
