I need some stats on teaching methods, stat.

I need help finding statistics on the effectiveness of various teaching methods.
I have read and heard over the years that people in a lecture will only retain and implement, say, 10 percent of what is presented to them, whereas if the same information is presented in a coaching-type format, the retention and likelihood of implementation goes up. I need some stats on this for a presentation I'm making on small-group knowledge transfer, but I'm at a loss for what I should be looking for. My feeble attempts at googling have turned up nothing. Can someone point me to some sources? Thanks.

Have you looked at John Hattie's work?
Visible Learning is good, but his new one Visible Learning for Teachers is simpler.
There's also Geoff Petty's "Evidence-based Teaching".
Both of these will show up on Youtube if you want to get a sense of what they're talking about.
is an example of John Hattie talking about successful methods.
Memail if you'd like to.
