Student Questioning in the Presence of the Teacher during Problem Solving in Science.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pizzini, Edward L; Shepardson, Daniel P. – School Science and Mathematics, 1991
Student questioning within the Search, Solve, Create, and Share (SSCS) problem solving instructional model was investigated. The results suggest that the SSCS problem-solving instructional model increases student questioning in the presence of the teacher (n=22) when compared to a teacher-directed laboratory instructional model. The implications…
