At the heart of the teaching practice is the art of questioning. Costa and Kallick noted that questions are the means by which insights unlock thinking. Effective questioning is essential to effective teaching. Despite this, a cohesive theory on the method of questioning has yet to be developed. A discussion of questioning is vital to moving the teaching profession forward. In this article, we propose a model of effective questioning that we see as the first step toward identifying a unifying theory of questioning. Our model contains the following three components: (1) a well-structured item (a good question), (2) clear expectations for the response (which we call ‘the five considerations’), and (3) a constructivist conversation. This work succeeds in bridging the gap between practice and theory that may otherwise limit good teachers from utilizing their questions in the most effective manner. Because of this, our model should be of use to teachers, teacher educators, professional developers, educational researchers, and theoreticians. We hope that a continued discussion of questioning ensues in all of these circles, so that our field can move closer toward the development of a theory of questioning.

Using cases from early childhood, elementary, and secondary classrooms, we showcase the work that teachers do to support students in building a collective argument and critiquing an individual’s argument. We identify four areas of work central to teaching students to build and critique mathematical arguments.

ABSTRACTIn this work we have built an instrument, under technical requirements, whose application and corresponding data collection allows us to take objective decisions on the phenomenon studied. It is, to know what are those strategies, relationships and situations that due to ignorance or mismanagement by staff and students became problematic situations generating a high number of conflicts in the classroom. When there is a high demand from different educational agents involved to avoid and work to resolve positively them. The construction of the instrument, to collect such information, has required thoroughness, adaptability to the context, validity and reliability, as well as considering psychometric characteristics that enable better and more accurate use of the measures it provides. In this procedure, as indicated Muñiz (2010) is taken into consideration the theoretical and metrics principles that maximize the validity of the inferences obtained from the use of the instrument. In fact, the validation of the test has begun before the empirical development of it, considering psychometric characteristics, reliability and validity, are essential in the construction of measuring instruments.RESUMENEn este trabajo hemos construido un instrumento, que responda a las exigencias técnicas y cuya aplicación y correspondiente obtención de datos nos permita la toma de decisiones objetivas sobre el fenómeno estudiado. Esto es, cono-cer cuáles son aquellas estrategias, relaciones, situaciones, entre otras, que por desconocimiento o mala gestión del profeso-rado y alumnado, han desembocado en situaciones problemáticas, que generan un elevado número de conflictos en el aula, ya que existe una alta demanda desde los diferentes agentes educativos implicados, para evitarlos o solucionarlos de manera positiva. La construcción del instrumento, para recoger dicha información, ha requerido de rigurosidad, adaptabilidad al contexto, validez y fiabilidad; características psicométricas que permiten una mejor y más exacta utilización de las medidas que proporciona. En el proceso seguido, como indica Muñiz (2010), se ha tenido en consideración los principios teóricos y métricos que permiten maximizarla validez de las inferencias hechas a partir del instrumento utilizado. De hecho, la valida-ción de la prueba ha comenzado antes dela elaboración empírica del mismo. Considerando que las dos características psicométricas: Fiabilidad y validez son indispensables en la construcción de instrumentos de medida. Contacto principal: [email protected]

Abstract This article aims to understand the school culture prescribed in the curricular plans sent to the Ministry of Education in 1959 to obtain authorization for experimental secondary classrooms in some schools of Porto Alegre (RS). Public schools proposed two different courses with nuclei of mandatory and elective subjects. The private school, directed to the female sex, defined only one school course, which consisted of mandatory and elective subjects, in addition to participation in clubs.
