Abstract

When teachers conduct a lesson, the activity of posing questions always appears in it. The activity of posing questions includes the skills of basic questioning in which a teacher must acquire. The purposes of this study are aimed at finding: 1) the basic questioning component skill used by the novice teachers in the classroom, 2) the types of question used by the novice teachers in the classroom, and 3) the levels of questioning category used by the novice teachers in the classroom. This discourse study was based on the analysis of the teacher talk in class. The analysis was based on the recorded data of the five novices when they conducted lessons in class. The recorded data was transcribed. From the transcription, teachers’ talk are identified and classified into types of questions, levels of questions, and basic questioning components. The analysis on the types of questions was based on the types of questions established by the instructional department (2006). The analysis on the levels of questions was based on the categories of questions and typical classroom question words written by Bloom cited in Brown (2001); the basic questioning components analysis was analyzed using Turney’s basic questioning components skill (1983). The findings of the study are: 1) novices used higher number of closed questions; 2) there were more low level questions conducted by novices; 3) the large number of the skill components in their teaching activities were the distributing, pausing and reacting. It is suggested that novices need to master the skill components of basic questioning especially in the components of structuring, phrasing, prompting, redirecting, focusing, and changing the level of cognitive demand. And it is also important to make use of more high level questions and open questions.
