This note corresponds to the week after the end of the implementation:

As I continued with the implementation process after solving my difficulties at school, I noticed that things have changed in the group: Some students have left it and a lot of new students have enroled. Consequently, the groups must be conformed again, and perhaps this circumstances could make changes in my research. Why? Basically, because some of the new students are reluctant to participate in the activties, I do not have the permisions to record them, but on the other hand, I did not know what to do with them, so I decided to integrate them in the different groups. Three groups stayed as they used to do at the beginning of the implementation, so I continued collecting data from them.

Some of the new students were enthusiastic participating in the activities, but unfortunately they did not be taken into account for the study. They did not start.

Another Issue: Cooperative learning. Since most of the groups were conformed again, some of their members, did not fit with the style of the others... I took so much time for them planning and recording...
