The document discusses the importance and effectiveness of closure in teaching and learning based on interviews with three teachers. It finds that while their closure methods differ due to subject taught, their goal is the same - to properly conclude lessons. Effective closure involves student involvement, relates to next lesson, and allows teachers to evaluate understanding and teaching objectives. Ineffective closure is too long or emotional questioning. All teachers agreed closure is important to summarize learning and assess performance.
