Comment about this research by: Student Victoria Gualteros Carvajal. 

The journal report on this research shows how a reserch was applied in a school with students from 10th grade. The report shows that there were some methods that students took, and at the end the teacher report how the results were; this qualitative reserch compiles its information through real context. Something that I liked was the fact that the teacher did not have the need to ask students what they thought about the method, like a survey or an interview, he found another way to collect data, and to carry out his conclusions of collecting data. In the colection I could evidence that he did it through numbers (quantitative) and useful data (qualitative). But anyway it was interesting t find that a reserach goes farther than just asking about opinions.
