The teachers self-filmedtheir classes, reportedon the experience, and participated in researchinterviews. It was foundthat the MLE exchanges andcriteria changed significantly between pre- and post-ARP, with differences between urban and rural classrooms; reflection moved from the simple to the more complex level.
