Questioning Categories Used By Elementary Science Teachers During Moving And Still Frames Of Videodisc Instruction

The purpose of the study reported in this paper was to examine the categories of teacher-asked questions while using moving and still frames of science videodisc instruction. Videotapes were made of 12 volunteer, Midwestern, urban, elementary teachers using videodisc instruction. Coding of the teacher-asked questioning categories was determined using an adaptation of The Question Category System for Science (QCSS). Frequencies and percentages of question categories during moving and still frames of videodisc instruction were computed. Statistical analysis showed that there were no significant differences in the questioning categories asked by teachers during the moving or still frames of videodisc instruction.
