Teachers were asked initially about their
perceptions of interactive teaching and the
effects of ICT. The pupils were all given an
initial assessment covering the topic
or topics being taught. A group of pupils
from each class was also asked about
how they participated in lessons, how they
learned from this, and how ICT helped.
After a classroom observation by two
researchers (which was recorded by two
cameras), the teacher selected a particular
section of the lesson to discuss with a
member of the research team. The group
of pupils were also asked about their
perceptions of this episode, using the
video as a prompt for recalling the activity.
A second pupil assessment, using the
same test, was carried out at the end of
each phase of teaching.
