This study aims to investigate the occurrence and types of collaborative and self-directed processes during problem analysis phase utilizing the FILA-MMS chart in Malaysia secondary school. Two out of five groups of students taught by a teacher in one PBL chemistry lesson was observed, audio-recorded and the verbatim were analyzed. The findings show that collaborative process and self-directed process occur in both groups. Collaborative processes occur by 79.1% and 78.9% in group 1 and group 2 respectively. Major collaborative processes observed in both groups are „question and answer‟, „co-construction‟ and „sharing of ideas or information‟. Self-directed processes occur by 18.3% and 12.9%. The main self-directed processes observed are „monitoring‟ and „directing‟. This study shows that there is a lack of self- directed learning skills among students, such as planning, reflection, evaluation of understanding, and managing information and resources.

STUDENTS’ QUESTIONS IN INQUIRY-BASED CHEMISTRY CLASSROOMS
Get PDFQuestioning plays an important part in the teaching and learning science. Previous research has extensively focused on teachers’ questions compared to students’ questions. Research of students’ questions is vital as it shows how students think and their understanding of a content studied. Hence, this research focuses on students’ questions, types of questions asked and the sequence(s) after students’ question. Twenty three chemistry teachers and their students of national secondary schools were involved in this study. Ninety two chemistry lessons were observed, audio and video recorded. Transcript of the lessons showed that students’ questions were mainly related to content or science process skills as emphasised in inquiry teaching and learning. However, most questions asked by students were low order closed questions. The sequence after students’ questions with the highest percentage (83.33%) was IR (Initiation from student, followed by teachers’ response). This sequence showed that chemistry teachers in this study did not display inquiry-based questioning characteristics because in inquiry teaching, teachers should avoid responding to students’ questions. Instead, they should provide opportunities for students to respond to their friends’ questions. Hence, teachers should move towards student initiated inquiry, where students ask higher order thinking questions and increasing the interaction among the students
