The Effects of Prompting Question‐asking Upon On‐task Behavior and Reading Comprehension1

Year: 1974

Type: article

Abstract: This study investigated a teacher-implemented prompting procedure for training students to ask questions. Two special-class (EMR) students who asked no questions were selected as subjects. Baseline data were also collected on reading comprehension and on-task behavior, and these suggested decreasing levels of performance. The results indicated that prompting was effective for initiating question-asking. In addition, increased levels of reading comprehension and on-task behavior were observed.
