Abstract

This experimental study investigated the effectiveness of the student-generated question technique. It aimed to find out whether teaching reading by students' questioning was better than answering questions posed by a teacher in increasing students' reading ability. Two groups of first-year nursing students at Mahidol University were randomly assigned to either control or experimental groups. Each group consisted of 30 students. The control group received practice in answering teacher's questions while the experimental group practiced generating their own questions after reading. They were taught for a semester in the regular reading course. The tool employed to determine the English reading achievement of both groups was an English reading achievement test constructed by the researcher. A self-generated question test was also administered to students in order to determine whether trained and untrained students could generate questions on their own. A questionnaire eliciting students' attitudes toward the self-generated question technique was taken into consideration.
