The reasons behind this research idea stem from my experience observing year 7 pupils at my second placement. Pupils in ICT lessons did not have exercise books, instead they would use printed workbooks. Pupils would learn the theory of something and then write it in the space provided in the workbook. Each lesson would be pre planned within the workbooks which left the teacher with very little room to teach outside of this structure. Pupils were negative when asked to get their workbooks out, when asked to write what they have just learnt in their workbooks pupils would start to misbehave and lost focus. I felt the workbook could be used as a way to reflect at the end of a lesson, and the majority of lesson time spent on learning the theory in engaging ways.
