Questioning skill of science teacher from the students perscpective in senior high school

Abstract

One of the most important emphasis in curriculum of 2013 is to produce graduates who have higher order thinking skill. Implicitly, it proved that graduates students of senior high school still have lack of development of higher order thingking skill. Several theoritical studies showed higher order thingking like creative thinking can be stimulated by teachers who have good questioning skill. This study aims to describe the activities of the questioning skills of physics teacher based on developed instruments. This research used qualitative and quantitative approach with survey technique. The sample was six physics teachers from six different senior high school in Banda Aceh chosen based on working period. Data were collected using questionnaire to indicate students responses. Data analysis with descriptive statistics explained that questioning skill of physics teachers being on moderate category. According to this research, in order to improve questioning skill in physics learning, the teachers need to distibute questions evenly, and the questions asked should be traceable to investigate to what extent for the students to be able to understand all concepts what they have been learned. The influence of teaching experience will be reached on the components of advanced questioning skill based on questions asked.
