%0 Journal Article %T Questions and Questioning Techniques: A View of Indonesian Students¡¯ Preferences %A Debora Tri Ragawanti %J K@ta : a Biannual Publication on the Study of Language and Literature %D 2009 %I Petra Christian University %X This study investigated students¡¯ preference on teacher¡¯s questions and questionings techniques and more importantly on how they could facilitate or impede their learning. The results on teacher¡¯s questioning techniques showed that random nomination was more preferred than pre-arranged format nomination. In addition, techniques of nominating volunteering students and of giving wait-time were disliked by most student-respondents. As for types of question, the yes/no question was favored by most of the respondents. Different from the yes/no question, the number of respondents leaning forward to the analysis question, questions about fact of life, and questions to state opinion did not show a significant difference from the number of those leaning against the same questions. %K question %K questioning %K preference %U http://puslit2.petra.ac.id/ejournal/index.php/ing/article/view/17891
