Chapter 20: Using elaborative interrogation in classroom settings

Abstract

This chapter signifies the effectiveness of using elaborative interrogation and strategies in enhancing the knowledge and comprehension attainment of learners. To make it more effective, teachers, instructors, and lecturers, as well as students, are required to apply elaborative strategies for knowledge acquisition very actively. The elaborative interrogation promotes dynamic memory activeness by allowing learners to establish previous knowledge by integrating new knowledge and information that upholds understanding and hands-on application in the original context. This can be embedded into numerous teaching and learning capacities by establishing it as a powerful tool. Additionally, this chapter recommends that this method has important value for educators, parents, school administrators, and other related educational stakeholders by providing a scholarly inspiring approach that can be implemented at primary, secondary, and tertiary levels. The continuous usage of elaborative interrogation in the classroom nurtures active educational practices and promotes positive learning outcomes across wide learner groups and subjects. Subsequently, it is a highly recommended strategy to enhance classroom practices and achieve effective learning results in an extensive range of educational settings.
