Most of the students,who started in the Elementary class in October didn't continue so only the students Akrem,Mohammed,Anis,Simiah and Dhia.
On this day of the cohesiveness questionnare(based on the short questionnare by Clement,Dornyei and Noels(1994)to measure learners's perceptions of the cohesiveness of their learner group.
I adapted the statements and also reworded the negatively worded statements into posyive statements so that the questionnaire had less of a negative influence,(How do know this ?did you try the original questionnaire with another group or whatever)in addition to work out the scoring and to analyse the results.
there were nine students,Dhia was absence due to his work and being away from Tunisia.I've found that,in general,from the students who have been in the same group since October the cohesiveness seem to be high as they agreed with the following statements:
they would like participate in a similar group,
they get on well with each other,
From the book Reflective Teaching in Second Language Classrooms,Richards,J.C.,in the chapter,approaches to classroom investigation,some important procedures are recommended:
Bailey 1990,Porter et al.1990,Walker 1985 state that it's important to make entries on a regular basis and immediately spend time after the lesson in writing up about the lesson
In addition to review the journal entries as some things which were not obviously apparent might appear so later on.
On page 16 Richards,J.C. mentions some reflection questions to guide thé writing of the journal:
What did you set out to teach?
Were you able to accomplish your goals?
What teaching materisls did you use?
What grouping arrangements did you use?
Did anything amusing or unusual occur?
Did you discover anything new?
Did students contribute actively to the lesson?
Were the students challenged by the lesson?
What do you think the students really learned from the lesson?
What did they like most about the lesson?
What didn't they respond to?
