Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unstructured discussion is the least effective technique in helping students activate their prior knowledge as it lacks organization and coherence.

Therefore, structured questions and free recall are more effective as they provide more guidance and direction for students, while word association can also be helpful but may not cover all relevant information.
