The finding revealed that while the majority of the students saw valued to</p><p>be gained from learning in a student-centred and collaborative setting, many expressed a preference</p><p>for learning in more conventional teacher directed forms. The study also sought to explore the</p><p>potential of the environment to develop problem-solving skills and to determine factors,</p><p>which impeded students' success and achievement.</p><p></p>
