Huang, Xiao; Lederman, Norman G.; Cai, Chaojing – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2017
The present study explores ways to enhance students' question-asking ability (i.e., the ability to ask critical questions), which is the premise of scientific inquiry and a precondition for effective science teaching. A survey of junior high school students in Zhejiang province in China showed that students' questioning behavior was not well…

Hasson, Eilat; Yarden, Anat – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2012
Inquiry is essentially a process in which research questions are asked and an attempt is made to find the answers. However, the formulation of operational research questions of the sort used in authentic scientific inquiry is not a trivial task. Here, we set out to explore the possible influence of separating the research question from the…

Maskiewicz, April C.; Winters, Victoria A. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2012
We set out to understand how different instantiations of inquiry emerged in two different years of one elementary teacher's classroom. Longitudinal observations from Mrs. Charles' 5th grade science classroom forced us to carefully and deliberately consider who exactly was responsible for the change in the class activities and norms. We provide…

Rowe, Mary Budd – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1974
A model constructed by combining nine theories relating wait-time, teacher expectations, equity and fate control to inquiry behaviors is described. Results indicate implusive students can be converted to reflective pupils by providing them with time to think and by allowing alternative answers. (BR)

Suchman, J. Richard – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1977
Presents a position strongly advocating inquiry training in science for students at all levels, but particularly at the elementary level. (SL)

Roth, Wolff-Michael – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1996
Describes a case study of an expert teacher's questioning strategies during an open-inquiry engineering curriculum in a grade four and five classroom. Analysis provides evidence for the complexity of questioning that is characterized by the interactions of context and content of, and response and reactions to, questions. Contains 45 references.…

Marbach-Ad, Gili; Sokolove, Phillip G. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2000
Explores the types of written questions students ask after reading one or more chapters from a textbook and investigates students' ability to improve their questions during the course of a single semester. Examines two comparable populations, undergraduate students who were taught in the traditional lecture format and students who were taught in…

Hofstein, Avi; Navon, Oshrit; Kipnis, Mira; Mamlok-Naaman, Rachel – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2005
This study focuses on the ability of high-school chemistry students, who learn chemistry through the inquiry approach, to ask meaningful and scientifically sound questions. We investigated (a) the ability of students to ask questions related to their observations and findings in an inquiry-type experiment (a practical test) and (b) the ability of…

Rowe, Mary Budd – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1974
Presents some considerations about the variable of "wait time," a pause after a teacher question so that students can think or a pause after a student statement. (PEB)

Tjosvold, Dean; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1977
Investigates the consequences of inquiry and didactic teaching when students either cooperate or compete with each other on (a) students' acceptance of the teaching method, (b) their approval of the teacher, (c) their experience of peer support, and (d) their beliefs that they have learned. Eighty fourth and fifth grade students were randomly…

Rice, Dale R. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1977
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…

van Zee, Emily H.; Iwasyk, Marletta; Kurose, Akiko; Simpson, Dorothy; Wild, Judy – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2001
Summarizes case studies developed by a group of collaborating educators. Investigates ways of speaking that encourage students to formulate insightful questions about science topics and express their own ideas during reflective discussions. (Contains 68 references.) (Author/YDS)

Dori, Yehudit J.; Herscovitz, Orit – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1999
Presents research on the scientific question-posing capabilities of 10th-grade students (n=127) who were studying air quality in a cooperative way using the jigsaw method. Finds that the difference between students at high and low academic levels to the extent of increase in both number and complexity of posed questions was significant. Contains…
