Abstract

Elaborative Interrogation, which has students read a passage from the text and respond to the prompt "Why is this true?" for a sentence from the passage, was employed in an introductory college physics course. We report initial results with regard to student accuracy and depth of reasoning, and detail the effect of sentence type on student responses. We also report the results of a reading survey that addressed students' reading habits during the course.
