The Investigation Into Questioning Situation Of The Higher Grades Chinese Teachers’ In The Urban Elementary School

Questioning is an important part of elementary school Chinese class teaching and one of the most common and vital tool used in the communication and interaction between teachers and students as well. We have to find out the reason why the children in the first grade of elementary school always speak very enthusiastically and always raise their small hands highly in class, and why most senior students are indifferent on understanding or grasping the degree of difficulty of the problem, whenever asked by teacher they usually lower their head to avoid answering teacher’s questions, let alone answer the questions by raising their hands. The researchers think that it is not only just about performance of students in different ages, but also closely relates to the way of questioning by teachers in class. It should be said that the study of class questioning is not a new field; many researchers have attempted to study it from various aspects, but the fact is many teachers still hovering in the same place and being unable to get out of the existing shackles. Since the implementation of the new curriculum in2001, we have to know whether teaching have really achieved the aim of teachers’ leading and students’ subjectivity, and the aim of the bilateral teaching activity of teachers’teaching and students’learning or not. Therefore, the study of class questioning by teachers of Chinese in elementary school has a great significance for the Chinese class teaching reformation in primary school.During my internship, the high frequency of attending lectures made me feel confused. When I open my Chinese notes of the lectures which wrote densely, I find out that the teacher’s questions in class are recorded mostly in my notes. Do those questions bring the thirst of knowledge and sublimation of emotion to students? Or is it just the so-called "standard answer"? What on earth can our Chinese classes bring to children? And what can be aroused to student in Chinese class? Under the guidance of scientific theories, embarking from the actual class, this paper gets a deep understanding of the situation of the teachers’questioning in Chinese class in primary school by questionnaire studies, classroom observation, teaching cases and interviews to first-line teachers. In order to provide reference to improve the state of primary school Chinese teachers’ questioning in class, this paper at first studies the present situation of Chinese teachers’ questioning in class in elementary school and then analyzes the reason of the existing problems in Chinese teachers’ questioning, at last puts forward some strategic suggestions to it.
