The Effect of Question-Asking Instruction on Preservice Elementary Science Teachers
Rice, Dale R.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 14, 4, 353-9, Jul 77
Investigates the wait-time after each question, the number of questions asked per minute, and the cognitive levels of questions asked by 10 preservice teachers. After initial data collection to determine subjects question-asking practices, one-half of the sample underwent instruction to change their question-asking practices. Results revealed the instructional group increased the amount of wait-time, decreased the number of questions asked and asked higher-cognitive questions. (CP)
