This document discusses the problem of insufficient usage of materials in education. A group of students conducted research on this topic, including determining the problem, choosing it for study, creating a fishbone diagram to identify causes, distributing a survey to students, and interviewing a teacher. The survey results showed that students find course books unsuitable and use additional materials that impact their budgets. Interviews found suggestions like choosing extra materials based on level and using technology like smart boards. The group's research identified the curriculum as a main cause and their action plan is to arrange the curriculum according to current needs and add extra practice classes.
