Characterizing teacher-asked questions in a high school physics classroom
written by Brianna Santangelo and AJ Richards
One of teachers' greatest tools in the classroom is questioning. It has long been theorized that higher-level questioning leads to students developing a better understanding of the material but no one has examined the types of questions asked in physics classrooms in great detail. We used Bloom's revised taxonomy to classify the questions asked by a high school physics instructor and surveyed him on what he believes his questioning patterns to be. By analyzing the distribution of question types and the teacher's self-perceived questioning patterns we take a first step to better understanding the use of questioning in physics classrooms.
