Reading a textbook

In contrast to Practical work and Using a computer, Reading a textbook was seen to
promote a sense of security and sense of progress (see Figure 4.2.3 and Table 4.2.3).
There was also less difference between the responses of teachers and students.
Although
Reading a textbook was relatively frequently adopted in mathematics classes,
overall
Reading a textbook was not viewed very positively by any of the participants.
