Abstract<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Prequestioning is a teaching strategy in which a teacher poses a question or series of questions to students before presenting new information or starting a new topic. The goal of prequestioning is to activate students’ prior knowledge and to increase their motivation and engagement in the upcoming lesson.<\/p>\nThis research project will investigate the effects of prequestioning on learning with young children (up to 7 years old) in educationally relevant contexts. It will feature a multi-experiment study addressing three specific aims. Long-term, it is expected that this initial study will be the first in a more extensive series of studies on prequestioning and children. The three aims are as follows:\nAim 1:<\/strong> Investigate the extent to which prequestions enhance young children\u2019s memory and comprehension of subsequently presented information, relative to conventional pedagogical approaches in which prequestions are not used.\nAim 2<\/strong>: Investigate the extent to which prequestions alter subsequent learning behaviours (e.g., study time, the focus of attention), and whether such behaviours reflect memory for the prequestions that were previously encountered.\n
