An Initial Study of Collaborative Refinement of Student-Created Questions

Abstract

Posing questions promotes a higher level of thinking to students as they tried to pose questions in which the answer can be found in the learning material. Researchers reported that students are having difficulties to generate high-level questions. Using between-subject experiment with off-the-self online application with three different treatment, in this study we explored on how students can create high-level question through collaborative refinement in an online setting. We proposed an online method using off-the-shelf tools provided in the Internet, for students to collaboratively posing and refining questions based on a lecture video they have watched before.
