Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that students improve their comprehension of a text most significantly when they learn to generate their own questions about the text. This process of questioning helps students to actively engage with the text and to think deeply about its content. Teachers can facilitate this process by providing prompts for question generation or by modeling the process themselves. Options A, C, and D focus more on the teacher's role in questioning, rather than on the student's active engagement with the text.
