METHODOLOGYWe wanted to find out if a flowchart could be used to allow students to be more independent learners. This would highlight all resources available to students (not just the teacher).
We set students an initial task to do without the flowchart to see how they responded. After the idea of flowcharts was introduced we completed a similar task.
