According the teacher, the project was successful; the students got familiar with the principles and procedures of progressive inquiry. Even though the project was first time for the students to apply progressive inquiry, they were motivated and not complaining at all even they needed to be patient sometimes with all the new issues to learn. The students adopted easily FLE3, and the teacher felt that FLE3 supported the project well.
