Learn from texts: questions to promote learning
Keywords:
Reading, Deep learning, access to information questions, Interpretative questions, Evaluative or critical questionsAbstract
After a brief reference to reading to learn, the article focuses on the analysis of the various types of questions that can be posed about a text that is proposed for the purpose of learning (questions of access to information, interpretation, and critical and evaluative questions), as well as in the different moments of the reading process in which they can be formulated. It describes the potential effect, both of the type of question and its location, on student learning, and encourages teachers to reflect on this strategy, which is part of their practice, in order to optimize it.
