This article really tried to relate to teachers and explain to them how action research and collaborative research can take place in a classroom. It is very apparent that the teacher refusing to allow the researcher in the class had a strong effect on Wells. This was apparent in the concluding paragraph as to how his conclusions are formed. It is also clear that the researcher has decided to focus more on collaborative research due to the opinion it is difficult to step into a classroom dynamic and have a full understanding of whats goin on in the class. Therefore, the teacher will use a lesson using collaborative work to achieve the goals and statistics Wells is looking for.
