Abstract

Asking questions is one of the most immediate ways to help students reflect on their own actions, which is a technique that is often overlooked in favor of a teacher's direct commentary. This column, the fourth in a series about classroom management and the second on the particular topic of asking questions, contains four more specific questions with which to prompt students before and/or after behavioral incidents. Each of these questions stem from four sources of self-knowledge that form the basis of self-efficacy. There are practical uses of these questions and explanations of their connections to the larger construct of self-efficacy in this column, along with suggestions for further reading.
