4.3 How can researcher improve his inquiry technique to enhance the quality of pupils’ response?
In unstructured data collection method, I have observed my attitude in learning and teaching room through video
recording. I found out that I have successfully improved on my inquiry technique in classroom. The questions given
to pupils were not in the form of double-barrelled and I also have given sufficient waiting time for pupils to respond.
The use of EERB does allow sufficient time for pupils to think about the question and write the answer on EERB.
The analysis of video recording through LISAM on the other hand has shown that because of the application of the
intervention, I have undoubtedly improved on my inquiry technique. From both LISAM analyses done, I was able to
reflect on what I have done during learning and teaching process. Though there are a few demerits that I need to
work on for the next learning and teaching sessions, I am very satisfied with the use of EERB because I can plan
inquiry techniques effectively. I also had enough time to immediately construct questions for the pupils in order to
improve their inquiries. Based on the analysis of questionnaires given to my 10 pupils, 90% of them agreed that the
use of the EERB gave them enough time to think prior to giving their answers. This directly proves that the average
of 0:35 minutes or 35 seconds waiting time given to them was sufficient. This was further improved by the use of the
EERB to enhance my inquiry technique.
