A secondary school teacher follows a formal process of action research in the deliberate improvement of her teaching of a mixed ability group during the first year of their GCSE course. She explores different factors in the classroom which could be an asset to successful active learning through the accessing of learning resources in the classroom. She consults the pupils, tests her hypotheses through observation, testing, questions and photographs to uncover what action needed to be tried to improve the learning situation for the pupils. She found that her ‘improved’ methods were slower than her habitual teaching methods but they yielded better results. Her account contains careful detail of the process that she experienced.
