Abstract

In this study, different types of questions (i.e., choice, product, process, metaproces) being asked by two groupsof ELT freshmen while conducting literature circles, one of the most useful ways to activate cooperative learningamong the students, were put under a close scrutiny. The first group comprised of thirty-seven students who haddirectly passed the proficiency exam of the university, while the latter consisted of the thirty-five students whostudied at the preparatory school for a year. The different types of questions posed by the questioners in each circlewere analyzed. According to the findings, there was no significant difference between the students who studied atthe English preparatory school for a year, and the ones who directly passed the proficiency exam of the university.Nor did gender play a significant role in the participants’ preference for questioning types. In both groups, productquestions were the most frequent type of questioning, while metaprocess questions remained the least used typesin both literature circles.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, iki grup İngilizce Öğretmenliği Bölümü 1.sınıf öğrencilerinin işbirlikçi öğrenmenin temelini oluşturan soru sorma tekniğini kullanırken seçtikleri ve sordukları soru tiplerini incelemektir. Çalışmaya katılan birinci gruptaki 37 öğrenci hazırlık muafiyet sınavında başarılı olmuştur. Çalışmaya katılan diğer grup ise bir yıllık hazırlık programına devam eden öğrencilerden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmada iki grupta yer alan öğrencilerin her aktivite için seçtikleri soru çeşitleri incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçları hazırlık muafiyet sınavını geçerek 1.sınıfta eğitime başlayan ve 1 yıllık hazırlık programını tamamlayarak 1.sınıfta eğitime başlayan iki grup arasında kullanılan soru çeşitleri bakımından fark olmadığını göstermiştir. Buna ek olarak, çalışmada cinsiyete dayalı bir fark da bulunmamıştır. Her iki grupta da en sık kullanılan soru çeşidi sonuç sorusu iken en az kullanılan soru çeşidinin gerekçe soruları olduğu sonucu elde edilmiştir.
