Chapter 6 Science: Effective Questioning
6.1 The Role of Teacher Questions
Discourse- expressing one's own questions, observations, concepts, ideas, and thinking, while listening to and reflecting on the ideas of others
6.2 Different Kinds of Questions
Productive Questions- teachers' questions that promote learners' activity and reasoning
Essential Questions- questions that relate to an idea that is foundational in science and revisited multiple times in a K-12 learning sequence; they address puzzling ideas that signal the need for inquiry to answer them
Closed Questions- a question that has only one right answer and can often be answered with a single word; it calls for factual knowledge and convergent thinking
Open-ended Questions-a question that has many acceptable answers to it typically invites many students to answer; it encourages divergent thinking, reflection, and helps to build toward understanding
Subject-Centered- when describing learning, and environment where students generate questions which guide the instructional process
Person-Centered- when describing a question, one focused on learners' ideas and thinking; usually includes the word
you
or
your
in its construction; ask for personal ideas without suggesting that there is one right or best answer
Equitable- equal, fair; when referring to questions, those that are inclusive, potentially answerable by all students regardless of background or experience
Inequitable- unequal, unfair; when referring to questions, those that are not accessible by all students due to lack of comparable background experience
6.3 Questions Aligned to the 5E Inquiry Model
Learner Response Devices- "clickers" or mobile electronic devices that enable students to respond to questions for display or discussion
6.4 Managing Classroom Discourse
Wait Time 1- a pause that follows a question by the teacher
Wait Time 2- a pause that follows a burst of responses from students before the teacher responds or asks another question
Accept- one way a teacher might respond to student answers; involves acknowledging, reinforcing, or repeating a student's answer
Extend- one way a teacher might respond to student answers; involves adding something new to a student's answer
Probe- one way a teacher might respond to student answers ; asking the student a question based on their answer, they might ask for elaboration, clarification, justification, or verification
6.5 Implementing Science Talk in the Classroom
Accountable Talk- discourse that promotes learning and sharpens student thinking by reinforcing their ability to use knowledge appropriately
