Oral Questioning Strategies of Mathematics Teachers in Teaching and Learning Mathematics: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

Oral questioning is a very important teaching tool and is often used in the communication process between teachers and students during mathematics teaching. Previous studies have found that one of the factors contributing to the decline in student performance in Malaysia in the TIMSS global assessment is the lack of oral questioning activities that can stimulate students' thinking in the mathematics teaching process. Therefore, this study was conducted to explore teachers' implementation of oral questioning in teaching mathematics at school. Research methodology based on the PRISMA statement (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) is used for survey methods that use databases, namely Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), Science Direct and Springer Link. [This qualitative study involves content analysis of research articles that examine teachers' implementation of oral questioning in teaching mathematics at school. As a result, 21 articles explain oral questioning strategies, the types of oral questions used by teachers, and factors that support and hinder the implementation of oral questioning in schools. For further research, the researcher suggests a more detailed study to build a model or oral questioning module that can guide all school mathematics teachers.
