Interest in teachers' moves to classroom discourse has started to increase since how teachers respond to students' thinking influences students' learning. The purpose of this study was to investigate the moves used by one sixth grade mathematics teacher at a public middle school in Turkey to support student reasoning in mathematics instruction and…

In this research, the effects of using Model-Based and Argumentation-Supported Model-Based Inquiry methods on 6th-grade middle school students' knowledge, scientific process skills, and motivation regarding the subject of sound and its properties were examined according to the current curriculum. A total of 77 students attending a state school…

The current study employs a qualitative, exploratory case study method examining the classroom practices of three 5th grade science teachers from two intermediate campuses within a school district in the Southwest. The study explores opportunities and barriers to high level questioning by teachers leading to critical thinking. Qualitative data…

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics's "Principles to Actions" (NCTM, 2014) cites posing purposeful questions and eliciting and using evidence of student thinking as effective mathematics teaching practices. Interviewing students creates opportunities for teachers to develop these practices. Through interviewing, they can try…

Focusing on English picture books, this study comparatively examined the effects of dialogic reading with empathetic questioning and standard dialogic reading on the reading outcomes of elementary school students. It evaluated eye movement metrics and measured reading comprehension among 54 fifth-grade elementary school students in China. By…

In this study, it is aimed to examine the text-based questions in the secondary school Turkish textbooks according to the revised Bloom's Taxonomy and to evaluate these questions according to the cognitive domain steps. In the research, the text-based questions in the Turkish textbooks approved by the Ministry of National Education were examined…

In this study, the effect of philosophy for children on primary school 4th-grade students' attitudes toward socioscientific issues (SSIs) and asking questions will be examined. A quasi-experimental design will be used in the study. In the study, 48 (experimental group [EG]: 24, control group [CG]: 24) primary school 4th-grade students studying in…

Reinhart's (2000) article "Never Say Anything a Kid Can Say!" shared the lessons he learned as he journeyed from a teacher-centered model of instruction to one that puts students at the center of the teaching and learning process. Within his narrative, he itemized the strategies he used and learned from, balanced recommendations with…

This study aims to investigate elementary school mathematics teachers' (teaching grades 5-8) questioning skills in class. It also includes observation of the questioning skills of two elementary school mathematics teachers teaching eighth grade. This mixed-methods research study follows an explanatory sequential design. Initially, quantitative…

Exploring science teachers' classroom assessment behaviors is a way to understand the professional knowledge competencies underlying effective teaching practices. One of the most important components of in-class assessments is teacher questions. However, studies examining teacher questions that provide support to accurately determine student…

This research aimed to investigate the impact of high-level teacher questioning on 6th grade students' science achievement, retention of learning and their attitudes toward science. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was employed in this research. Participants consisted of 43 students enrolled in two intact 6th grade…

Educational settings adopt an active participatory learning process in which students with and without hearing loss are guided towards knowledge through questions. Questions are believed to improve critical, creative and high-level thinking skills. This research is a case study aimed at identifying and suggesting some solutions to the problems…

Numeracy literacy skills in learning mathematics in elementary schools are still low. This is evident from the AKM value, which is still below average. This low numeracy literacy ability is caused by various things, such as the teacher's lack of ability to make HOTS questions and the lack of habituation for students to work on complex. The main…

Teaching and learning mathematics in an elementary classroom is a complex process in negotiating a balance in encouraging participation, responding to students, making connections between interactions, and planning for upcoming interactions. In a search for instructional models and structures that support and encourage student engagement in…

The authors describe strategies a pre-service teacher used to orchestrate classroom discussions that encourage thinking. They show how small shifts in the questions posed can lead to substantial changes in student participation in classroom discourse.
