- Abstract
- I(nvestigates the constituents of a good research task, requiring students to construct meaning from a variety of resources.

Data were collected from a questionnaire completed by all students and student and teacher interviews. elements found to be related to satisfaction with the research process and to satisfaction with achievement were: student choice of topic, group work, course related topics, clarity of goals and means of evaluation, and process instruction
