| Popis: |
Teacher use of wait-time after asking a question appears to be a relatively powerful teaching technique based on both theory and research data. Wait-times of 3 to 5 s after questions are often recommended in the literature. However, missing from the literature are studies investigating the amount of time students would take to respond to a question if given an unlimited amount of time to respond. The present study investigated this issue with college students and found that students asked a question and given an unlimited amount of time within which to respond on the average responded from a low of 8.82 s to a convergent question to a high of 32.95 s to a more complex divergent question. With only one exception, student level of knowledge of the content over which they were questioned did not correlate significantly with the amount of wait-time used before responding to the questions. |
