Abstract
The strategy of student generated questionengages students in deeply interacting with the newly learnedcontents, examining their learning outcomes, and practicingasking questions and generating answers. Grounded on thepotential of this strategy, this study aims to develop a web-basedsystem to engage students in question generation activities. Asingle group pre-and-posttest experimental design was adoptedto further explore its effects on students’ learning gains. Sixtyone college students participated in the study for four weeks.The findings show that students learning is significantlyenhanced by the SGQ strategy. Furthermore, students’perquisite knowledge is significantly correlated with the qualityof the questions students generated. Last, students whogenerated questions of better quality are found to performbetter in the post-knowledge assessment. Suggestions forinstructional practice and future studies are provided.
