He also emphasized the importance of a good social environment and worked to make the pupils aware of how to act in groups. The teacher in school B talked about how important she is to make the pupils work and expected them to be aware of their learning strategies. She talked about the importance of tranquility in the classroom when pupils read and wanted them to be able to work independently.The text begins with a brief research overview about classroom research and essential methods.
