The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of elaborative interrogation on the acquisition of factual knowledge. The following problems are pursued specially.
1. Is there any difference according to questioning methods(elaborative interrogation, precise elaboration, imaginary interrogation, reading-control)on the acquisition of factual knowledge.
2. Is there any difference between highly academic achivement and lowly academic achivement according to questioning methods.
In order to accomplish the above problems of the study, the subjects for this study are sampled out of 80 junir high school students. Four classess are divied into the experimental group(3groups) and the comparative group. The learning materials for this study are confusing fact that is particular types of people performing action that, on the surface, do not seem meaningfully associated with the actors. The materials used in this research are made by experimenter. The meterials consist of 24 sentences. Then, subjects are questioned 24 test items.
Pearson's Simple Corelation Coefficient, Analysis of Variance, and Scheffe's method for post hoc test are applied for the analysis of the data.
The results of the study are abtained as follows.
Elaborative interrogation facilitates the recall on the acquisition of factual knowledge when elaborative interrogation group compared with both the reading-control group and precise elaboration group. But effects of the immediate recalled test between precise elaboration group and imagery group, elaborative interrogation and imagery group don't show the statistically meaningful difference.
In the relationship between the levels of the academic achivement and the questioning levels, the immediate recalled test conducted on the elaborative interrogation and the others show the satistcally meaningful difference.
Consequently, elaborative interrogation used in memorizing the confusing facts of knowledge is very effective.
