The Programmed Answer
The following are examples taken verbatim from classroom dialogues and best exemplify this third non-facilitating teaching behavior.
• "What are some of the enemies of the praying mantis? Cats kill them, don't they? How about other animals? Or insects?"
• "What reasons do you have to use that formula? Was it suggested in the homework chapter? Had you ever used it before? Or seen it used in this context?"
• "What happens when we add the sums of the rows? Do we get skewed results?"
• "Look at this shrub and tell me, what observations can you make? Do you see the dead stems? Are they damaged from insect feeding?"
