Data Analysis
Starting with questioning skill categories from the literature, two coders independently coded a subsample of analyses
Additional codes emerged
Codes were reconciled and applied to remainder of transcript analyses
The process was repeated for proposed strategy categories

What did PSTs write about their questioning aspects?
![Page 11: Development of Pre-Service Teachers’ Questioning Practice Through Self- Analysis Stephanie B. Philipp University of Louisville and Melissa L. Shirley University](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b6f893/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Questioning Aspects: Traditional Certification Program PST
“I did not realize I asked low-
level questions during the entire
class until analyzing this
transcript.” (08HSTrad)
![Page 12: Development of Pre-Service Teachers’ Questioning Practice Through Self- Analysis Stephanie B. Philipp University of Louisville and Melissa L. Shirley University](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b6f893/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Questioning Aspects: Alternative Certification Program PST
“Without high-quality responses from students, the connections they are able to make to the subject matter is severely limited…This problem goes hand in hand with my lack of high-order questions.” (28HSAlt)
![Page 13: Development of Pre-Service Teachers’ Questioning Practice Through Self- Analysis Stephanie B. Philipp University of Louisville and Melissa L. Shirley University](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b6f893/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Questioning Aspects: Alternative Certification Program PST
“ It is difficult to address questions with a
class where only a small portion of the
students can hear. I cannot give
students enough wait time to ponder
questions because I spend any down
time addressing discipline.” (05MSAlt)
![Page 14: Development of Pre-Service Teachers’ Questioning Practice Through Self- Analysis Stephanie B. Philipp University of Louisville and Melissa L. Shirley University](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b6f893/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Questioning Aspects: Alternative Certification Program PST
“I spent almost two of ten minutes waiting
for my class to quiet down to the point
where we could finish discussion. This is
far too much instructional time.”
(17MSAlt)
![Page 15: Development of Pre-Service Teachers’ Questioning Practice Through Self- Analysis Stephanie B. Philipp University of Louisville and Melissa L. Shirley University](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b6f893/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Selection of Questioning Aspects
Assertion 1
Teaching context may affect the
focus of the PST’s choice for
analysis.

Strategies proposed for improvement of practice
Intentional Practice
“I will prepare a question guide
before the lesson to help direct
students in higher level of
thinking.” (04MSTrad)
![Page 19: Development of Pre-Service Teachers’ Questioning Practice Through Self- Analysis Stephanie B. Philipp University of Louisville and Melissa L. Shirley University](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b6f893/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Strategies proposed for improvement of practice
Planning
“I think time invested at the
beginning of the year [regarding] my
expectations for discussions would be
helpful.” (13MSTrad)
![Page 20: Development of Pre-Service Teachers’ Questioning Practice Through Self- Analysis Stephanie B. Philipp University of Louisville and Melissa L. Shirley University](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b6f893/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Strategies proposed for improvement of practice
Intentional Practice
“To improve this questioning practice, I
plan on … constantly checking for
understanding formatively through
thumbs up/thumbs down, stoplight,
agree/disagree, etc.” (20MSAlt)

Strategies proposed for improvement of practice
Assertion 2
Analysis of questioning practice convinced PSTs of the importance of
planning and intentional practices as a strategy for improving questioning
practice.

The Power of Self-Reflection
PSTs were often surprised by aspects of their teaching practice after reflection on their own teaching
![Page 23: Development of Pre-Service Teachers’ Questioning Practice Through Self- Analysis Stephanie B. Philipp University of Louisville and Melissa L. Shirley University](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b6f893/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Surprising insights gained by PST
“It is amazing what you can learn
from listening to yourself. I could
not believe how many times I said
the word "Right”. If I were a student,
I would be sick of it.” (18HSAlt)
![Page 24: Development of Pre-Service Teachers’ Questioning Practice Through Self- Analysis Stephanie B. Philipp University of Louisville and Melissa L. Shirley University](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b6f893/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Surprising insights gained by PST
“It occurred to me as I listened to the
tape that only seven out of 30
students spoke. Not only do I have
no idea what those other twenty-
three students know, no one in the
class was able to benefit from their
input.” (21MSAlt)
![Page 25: Development of Pre-Service Teachers’ Questioning Practice Through Self- Analysis Stephanie B. Philipp University of Louisville and Melissa L. Shirley University](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b6f893/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Surprising insights gained by PST
“In the background I could hear
chatter, chatter that I must block
out while I'm standing at the front of
the class. I did not notice when I
was teaching but it was there, on
tape.” (18HSAlt)
![Page 26: Development of Pre-Service Teachers’ Questioning Practice Through Self- Analysis Stephanie B. Philipp University of Louisville and Melissa L. Shirley University](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b6f893/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Acknowledging need for change
PSTs acknowledged need for change and dedicated their efforts to transforming their own practice.
![Page 27: Development of Pre-Service Teachers’ Questioning Practice Through Self- Analysis Stephanie B. Philipp University of Louisville and Melissa L. Shirley University](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b6f893/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Acknowledging need for change
“Overall, this transcript allowed me to see myself in a way that I had not seen before: through the ears of an observer….I plan on taping another session in the upcoming months to evaluate my progress.”
(26MSAlt)
![Page 28: Development of Pre-Service Teachers’ Questioning Practice Through Self- Analysis Stephanie B. Philipp University of Louisville and Melissa L. Shirley University](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e715503460f94b6f893/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Acknowledging need for change
“The lesson I learned is that high
level questioning is dependent
on careful and thoughtful
planning for each lesson.” (15MSTrad)
