The research aims at determining the learning environment arranged for improving the students’ performance and at the affect of the learning activities performed in this learning environment on the students. The research was conducted with the 9th graders of a state school in 2010-2011 educational year. The data of the research were gathered via open ended questions related to the learning environment, learning activities and performance assessment. The findings prove that students are in favour of group and in-class discussions. According to the same findings, the practice made a positive contribution to the problem solving process of the students. Another important finding is that students, feeling relaxed in a created learning environment, are prone to handle the posed questions in different perspectives.
